Determine if a Network (LAN) is Present
In AutoPlay Media Studio, to determine if a user is connected to a LAN:
1. Insert the following code into any event in your application:
lan = System.GetLANInfo(); lan_exist = true;
for j in pairs(lan) do
if lan[j] == "Unknown" then lan_exist = false;
end
end
if lan_exist then
Dialog.Message("", "You are connected to a LAN"); else
Dialog.Message("", "You are not connected to a LAN");
end
Note: This example works in Windows 98 First Edition, Windows 98 Second Edition, Windows 2000, and Windows XP. Windows 95 and Windows NT do not fit this model. To detect a LAN connection in all operating systems, first detect the user's OS, and the launch an appropriate detection script.
