PRB: VBRASAPI Sample Application in MSDN Missing a FileID: Q149926
|
The January 1996 issue of Microsoft Developer Network contains the article titled "VBRASAPI: Calls Windows RAS Functions From Visual Basic." This article contains a sample application that is a wrapper dynamic link library (DLL) file used to call the Remote Access Service (RAS) functions in Microsoft Windows for Workgroups from Microsoft Visual Basic. The file Rasapi.bas is missing from the sample included with the article.
The VBRASAPI sample is a wrapper DLL used to call the RAS functions in
Microsoft Windows for Workgroups version 3.11. Developed by Microsoft
Consulting Services, VBRASAPI works as a wrapper around Rasapi16.dll for
programs written in Microsoft Visual Basic. The functions in Vbrasapi.dll
can dial using a RAS phone book entry, get the RAS connection status, and
hang up. These functions can then maintain and pass the RAS connection
handle to each other so they maintain the connection sessions one at a
time.
The Rasapi.bas file is a compilation of Microsoft Visual Basic equivalent
declarations for constants and data structures found in the Ras.h and
Raserror.h C-header files. It also includes API Declare statements for the
Vbrasapi.dll functions. This Microsoft Visual Basic module is
self-documented and can be added to any project that needs to use RAS.
However, this file is not included in the compressed version attached to
the article shipped in the January 1996 issue of the Microsoft Developer
Network.
The April 1996 issue contains the complete version of the article.
