wm5 & MFC8 & How to initiate internet connection ?

| Hello,
What is the "highlevel" , sophisticated way to initiate internet-connection with wm5 & MFC-project?
I thought that highlevel API's such as URLDownloadToFile() would automaticly handle connectionmanager but apparently not.
I've been reading docs and there seems to be different ways for this. I don't want/need to go to lowlevel and I am not interested how user connectes to internet nor I don't want to handle the different internet "gateways" myself but leave all that to OS or User. Is this possible?
Is there any highlevel API like DoConnectToInternet() ;)
Which checks if there is connection and uses that , if not selects the "best" connection route or prompts user what route he wishes to use? Like the way PocketIE and Outlook does.
Thanks. | |

have a look at the cmtime sample in the SDK which has a nice
EstablishConnection function you could use.
