Hiding dialup window called from a VB form

[Jerald]

Hi Team,

I am Jerald, and I am using VB and winsock for transferring files on the
internet. I am successful throughout the process. The only problem I am facing
is that I am using a dial up connection for initializing the Internet connection
when the particular computer is not online.

I am using the InternetDial API in VB for calling up the dial up connection
box. Now, the problem is I have to somehow prevent this dialog box from appearing
on the user screen. The net should be connected using the dialog box but
it should not be visible to the user. I am using a VB form which cosists
of a Upload button. I hide the form when it gets activated and there is a
system tray icon that shows the current transfer progress. The dialup connection
dialog box is called from within the form. The form gets hidden but the dial
up box keeps poping up.

Is there a way to sort this problem out, by using a API or the like. Some
API that will minimize (or hide) my parent form which in case would minimize
(or hide) all the forms (called from current application or outside current
application) called by this parent form.

Kindly help..

Regards..

Jerald

Use the RAS API:
