Start an API NOT always on top (vb.NET)

[Drago]

Hello guys,

 

first of all I hope, that I've put this question in the right forum (General or Network?) and secondly I've to say, that I'm trying to do this for a month and noone could help me so far... I hope you can:

 

What I want to do is to start an API (=InternetAutodial) located in the "wininet.dll" library, which hasn't to go always on top (following function):

Declare Function InternetAutodial Lib "wininet.dll" (ByVal dwFlags As Integer, ByVal hwndParent As Integer) As Integer

 

The InternetAutodial-API shows you the well known window, which allows you to connect to the internet -> this window stays always in front to the others and has always got the focus.

So I see this window EVERY time I wish to connect to the internet - example: if I've opened a game, it minimizes the game and shows this damn screen...

 

(explanation: I've got a really f****** flatrate... Sometimes I need about an hour to connect to the net -> so I've written a program, which tries to connect every minute to the net...)

 

I'm really down... I hope, that someone can help me...

 

Thank you in advance :(

Drago

You can setup any DUN connection in Windows 2000/XP (not sure about Windows 9x/ME) to not display a window prior to, or during the dial-up process. Uncheck all of the boxes under "Dialing Options" in the properties dialog of the connection in question.

@ Derek Stone:

 

Thanks for the try, but these options have nothing to do with the "always on top" option / the option, that the DUN Connection will be in front of all others.

 

Hope, that in this forum anyone knows how to do this.

 

Thanks in advance
