GPRS connection bubble in WM2003

[Pope]

Hi all

I've been told that in WM2003, it's possible to programmatically create a GPRS connection using the connection manager API while supressing the GPRS connection bubble.

This is exactly what I need to do, but I have not been able to find out how to do it - been trawling through the msdn site for hours! Does anyone know how to do this?

Cheers

OK - well i've managed to suppress the connecting balloon now by using the priority CONNMGR_PRIORITY_HIPRIBKGND but I haven't managed to suppress the balloon which pops up if the connection fails...

Any ideas anyone?

You can set this from Settings -> Sounds -> Notifications. There is a CCheckbox for 'Display message on screen' for event 'Connection Established'. Therefore there must be a registry setting.

I think this is in the Registry under:

\HKCU\ControlPannel\Notification\{8ddf46e7-5ded-4750-9e58-afc6ce486d03}\Options

Options = 0, no popup.
Options = 8, do popup.

But this is not tested!!

Unfortunately, while this may suppress the "Connected" pop up, it doesn't suppress the "Cannot Connect" pop-up!

Thanks for the idea tho!
