Re: Dynamically Setting Wireless Settings

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Well, the preferred network only settings isn't something I've ever tried to
change programmatically, but, with suitable research into the source code
for the Windows Zero Config API, it may be there.

*What* WiFi settings? "The WiFi settings" doesn't mean anything. You want
to establish connection with a given unsecured access point? The access
point is secured using WEP, so you need to set both the SSID and the WEP
key(s)? You're using PEAP authentication? The name of the access point
changes regularly? Or you just want to run the program once to configure
the device, rather than doing it manually once per device?

Is there an icon in the system tray that you double-click on to get to
wireless settings? Does it show the list of SSID values that it can hear?
If so, the code in OpenNETCF will allow you to do some minimal programmatic
configuration of the wireless adapter. I'm sure that Dell won't tell you
because it's *not their API*. It's Microsoft's and is essentially
undocumented, except by the source code.
