Setup Internet connection on Windows Mobile device.

[sergey_m]

Hi!

I’m trying to setup Internet connection on Windows Mobile device. But have no success.

I’m trying this code:

// Set Internet Access Point
QNetworkConfigurationManager manager;
const bool canStartIAP = (manager.capabilities()
                          & QNetworkConfigurationManager::CanStartAndStopInterfaces);
// Is there default access point, use it
QNetworkConfiguration cfg = manager.defaultConfiguration();
if (!cfg.isValid() || (!canStartIAP && cfg.state() != QNetworkConfiguration::Active)) {
    QMessageBox::information(this, tr("Network"), tr(
                                 "No Access Point found."));
    return;
}
 
session = new QNetworkSession(cfg, this);
session->open();
session->waitForOpened(-1);

// Set Internet Access Point
QNetworkConfigurationManager manager;
const bool canStartIAP = (manager.capabilities()
                          & QNetworkConfigurationManager::CanStartAndStopInterfaces);
// Is there default access point, use it
QNetworkConfiguration cfg = manager.defaultConfiguration();
if (!cfg.isValid() || (!canStartIAP && cfg.state() != QNetworkConfiguration::Active)) {
    QMessageBox::information(this, tr("Network"), tr(
                                 "No Access Point found."));
    return;
}
 
session = new QNetworkSession(cfg, this);
session->open();
session->waitForOpened(-1);

I don’t have CanStartAndStopInterfaces capabilities, default config is empty. I also tryed to get list of congigurations but it’s also empty….

What is the problem? Hope it’s a known issue.

TIA!

Copy QTDIR/plugins/bearer qgenericbearer.dll to your_app_dir/bearer on your device . QNetworkConfigurationManager doesnt work without this plugin

[sergey_m]

Thanks for that.

capabilities now - 0x00000010 (ForcedRoaming)

Now I can get list of Defined configurations but they all have Unknown type, still can't start it.

[sergey_m]

Still can't start connection. I added qgenericbearerd4.dll into my application folder\bearer and now can see configurations.

I have capabilities - 0x10, so seems that I can't start connection.

Also I have list with 3 configurations:

TNETW12511 - I guess wifi
Automatic Tunneling Pseudo-Interface
6to4 Pseudo-Interface

when I'm trying to start I have error "The specified configuration cannot be used"

When I switched on edge I've got one more connection - Cellular Line

Anybody tryed to start internet connection from WinMobile with qt 4.7 application?

[grublik]

i've tried to start such connection. But i found it difficult to do this. Maybe qt on win ce could not deal with this. I managed to do this using visual c++ , but qt failed

Thanks.

You did it in some other way? I guess it's possible to do it with windows functions... but I was hoping on cross platform solution.

I've managed to do it with windows functions. At first you must prepare a cellular line connection in conections menu.
Next you should do something like this :

#include <aygshell.h>
#include <initguid.h>
#include <connmgr.h>
 
bool connectHSDPANetwork()
{
	CONNMGR_CONNECTIONINFO cci = {0};
	cci.cbSize = sizeof(CONNMGR_CONNECTIONINFO);
	cci.dwParams = CONNMGR_PARAM_GUIDDESTNET;
	cci.dwPriority = CONNMGR_PRIORITY_USERINTERACTIVE;
	cci.guidDestNet = IID_DestNetCorp;
 
	DWORD dwResult;
 
	HRESULT hr = ConnMgrEstablishConnectionSync( &cci, &cHandle, 0, &dwResult ) ;
	if (hr == S_OK)
		return true;
	else
		return false;
}

#include <aygshell.h>
#include <initguid.h>
#include <connmgr.h>

bool connectHSDPANetwork()
{
	CONNMGR_CONNECTIONINFO cci = {0};
	cci.cbSize = sizeof(CONNMGR_CONNECTIONINFO);
	cci.dwParams = CONNMGR_PARAM_GUIDDESTNET;
	cci.dwPriority = CONNMGR_PRIORITY_USERINTERACTIVE;
	cci.guidDestNet = IID_DestNetCorp;

	DWORD dwResult;

	HRESULT hr = ConnMgrEstablishConnectionSync( &cci, &cHandle, 0, &dwResult ) ;
	if (hr == S_OK)
		return true;
	else
		return false;
}

Thanks for your answer.

I also implemented it with connection manager. hust tested it.

Now will remove all unnecessary code.

GUID guid;
	LPCTSTR url = L"http://www.msn.com";
	HRESULT hresult = ConnMgrMapURL((LPCTSTR)url,&guid,NULL);
	if (!SUCCEEDED(hresult))
	{
		delete [] url;
		return NULL;
	}
 
	// Get a connection.
	CONNMGR_CONNECTIONINFO cinfo;
	memset(&cinfo,0,sizeof(cinfo));
	cinfo.cbSize = sizeof(cinfo);
	cinfo.bDisabled = FALSE;
	cinfo.bExclusive = FALSE;
	cinfo.guidDestNet = guid;
	cinfo.dwParams = CONNMGR_PARAM_GUIDDESTNET;
	cinfo.dwFlags = CONNMGR_FLAG_PROXY_HTTP;
	cinfo.dwPriority = CONNMGR_PRIORITY_USERINTERACTIVE;
	DWORD status;
	hresult = ConnMgrEstablishConnectionSync(&cinfo,&iConnectionHandle,15000,&status);
 
	timer->start(5000);
 
	if (!SUCCEEDED(iConnectionHandle))
	{
		QMessageBox::information(0, tr("N"), tr("Connection opened"));
		emit connectionFound();
		bIsConnectionEnabled = true;
		return true;
	}
	QMessageBox::information(0, tr("N"), tr("Connection closed"));
	emit connectionLost();
	return false;

GUID guid;
	LPCTSTR url = L"http://www.msn.com";
	HRESULT hresult = ConnMgrMapURL((LPCTSTR)url,&guid,NULL);
	if (!SUCCEEDED(hresult))
	{
		delete [] url;
		return NULL;
	}

	// Get a connection.
	CONNMGR_CONNECTIONINFO cinfo;
	memset(&cinfo,0,sizeof(cinfo));
	cinfo.cbSize = sizeof(cinfo);
	cinfo.bDisabled = FALSE;
	cinfo.bExclusive = FALSE;
	cinfo.guidDestNet = guid;
	cinfo.dwParams = CONNMGR_PARAM_GUIDDESTNET;
	cinfo.dwFlags = CONNMGR_FLAG_PROXY_HTTP;
	cinfo.dwPriority = CONNMGR_PRIORITY_USERINTERACTIVE;
	DWORD status;
	hresult = ConnMgrEstablishConnectionSync(&cinfo,&iConnectionHandle,15000,&status);

	timer->start(5000);

	if (!SUCCEEDED(iConnectionHandle))
	{
		QMessageBox::information(0, tr("N"), tr("Connection opened"));
		emit connectionFound();
		bIsConnectionEnabled = true;
		return true;
	}
	QMessageBox::information(0, tr("N"), tr("Connection closed"));
	emit connectionLost();
	return false;
