list all available IAP and add them to CommsDb

Right now, in my program I can loop over all IAP accent points that are lis=
ted in the CommsDb object and=20
then select one of them. In order foor an IAP to be part of CommDb, I fiirs=
t, manually, have to select from a list of possible IAPs the ones which I w=
ant to use (i.e., using the interface of the nokia phone itself (tools->=
internet settings ->....)).=20
I wonder whether it is possible to do this inside my C++ program. I.e., whe=
ther there is a symbian class or method that lists all available IAPs (not =
only the one listed in the CommsDb object) and then select one or more=20
of those and add them to CommsDb,

Hi [~mach],

Depends on how much effort you'd like to put in.
You can always display a dialog box, with the list of IAPs and let the user=
select one. Or you can be lazy and just use the S60 wrappers that do this =
automatically for you.

See http://developer.symbian.com/forum/t...D25517&tstart=
=3D0 for a hint :-)

Hope that helps.

According to that link, I should use CCmApplicationSettingsUi. However, I d=
on=C2=B4t want the user to select an IAP, I want to make a selection in the=
code directly. I suppose that can be done, using CCmApplicationSettingsUi =
as well.=20
However, are you sure this class lists all IAPs, and not only the one alrea=
dy added to CommsDb manually?

Also, although I have symbian version "S60_3rd_FP1_3", as a matter of fact,=
it seems I cannot use this class. The include file "cmapplicationsettingsu=
i.h" does not seem to exist in my distribution

Hi [~mach],

The CCmApplicationSettingsUi class is availabe from the S60 FP2 SDK onwards=
..
If you are using your own IAP, you don't really need to use it, since you a=
lready know what to use and select/start connection using that IAP.

Hope that helps.

I´ll try to explain more explicitly what the problem is. I have inclu=
ded some "pseudo-code" below, to show how I connect to the right IAP right =
now. I know the name ("My_WiFi_Dev"), and I can look for this name in the l=
ist of IAPs as stored in CCommsDatabase.=20
This way, I can find the IAP ID which I need later in iConnection.Start(...=
)

But, in order for this IAP name to be in CCommsDatabase, I first have to go=
manually to "Tools->Adjustments->Connection->Access Points" and a=
dd "My_Wifi_Dev" to the list of known IAPs (on a N82 phone, but I guess on =
other Nokia phones it will be more or less the same).=20

What I would like is to *not* have to introduce it manually into the list, =
but, instead, do this by means of some symbian classes or methods. I.e.: ad=
d the IAP "My_WiFi_Dev" to CCommsDatabase by means of some symbian c++ libr=
ary call.

I understand from your replies below, that with the CCmApplicationSettingsU=
I (for FP2), this would be possible?=20
Since, however, I have version FP1, is there any other way of doing this?

Hi [~mach],

What you want is the WLAN settings API. See:

http://wiki.forum.nokia.com/index.ph...ettings_UI_API

Download the plugin from here: http://www.forum.nokia.com/info/sw.nokia.com=

Hope that helps.
