Anyone used InetIsOffline API successfully before?

[Lothar Haensler]

according to MSDN the InetIsOffline function should reside in shell32.dll, version 4.00.
I do own version 4.00 of shell32.dll on WinNT4.0.
Still, I get a "can't find DLL entry point..." if I try to use it in my VB program and DUMPBIN/EXPORTS doesn't list the function.

What am I doing wrong?
(I do know Internetgetconnectedstate API...)

Phew, this was a tough one to Trackdown, I had to try nearly all my Search Engines to find any info on this fella, anyways, it turns out, it's not in the Shell32 DLL, (thank you very much MicroSoft©), it's actually in the URL DLL, here's a working Declaration:

private Declare Function InetIsOffline Lib "URL" (byval dwFlags as Long) as Long



If you're interested in where I found out, there's a list of all API functions and their associated DLL's at this URL:

Thanks for answering.
Someone should tell Microsoft to change their documentation.

That link you mentioned is kind of cool.
It's not that useful, though, because depending on the versions of the dll the contents of that list might be very different.
It inspired me to create my own list of exported entries:
create an NT command file and enter
for %%i in ("c:\winnt\system32\*.dll") do dumpbin /EXPORTS %%i
