Re: How to ActiveSync Status using Pocket PC 2003 SDK

You want to detect this *on the device*, right? You can try resolving the
host name "ppp_peer" from a program running on the device using
gethostbyname() from the WinSock API. If it resolves, there's a very high
probability that the connection is active (99%+). Seems like that should be
enough. Note that the best place to ask Windows Mobile-based development
questions is not the ActiveSync group, but
microsoft.public.pocketpc.developer. In fact, I think that searching the
archives of that newsgroup with GoogleGroups would get you an answer faster
than waiting for someone to respond to a new question...
