Anyone have a C++ example of RasEnumConnections implementation?

Anyone have a C++ example of RasEnumConnections implementation? Also, how would you iterate through the returned connections to see if the connection you are trying to make is already connected?

Do you have to include any headers other than:
ras.h and raserror.h?

I've been trying this but I always get the default: state even when I'm connected. Any suggestions?

LPRASENTRYNAME RasEntry;
                        DWORD Buffer;
                        DWORD Entry;
                        DWORD Retrn;
                        DWORD Index;

                        Buffer = sizeof(RASENTRYNAME);

                        //RasEntry->dwSize = sizeof(RASENTRYNAME);

                        Retrn = RasENUMENTRIES( NULL, NULL, RasEntry, &Buffer, &Entry );

                        //the buffer is too small
                        if (Retrn == 603)
                        {
                              RasEntry->dwSize = sizeof(RASENTRYNAME);
                              Retrn = RasENUMENTRIES( NULL, NULL, RasEntry, &Buffer, &Entry );
                        }

                        if ( Retrn != 0 ) //error
                        {
                              m_IAmConnected = FALSE;
                              FireErrorLaunchingDialUpAccount(m_StringResource->LoadString(ERR_COMM_ERROR_LAUNCHING_DIAL_UP_ACCOUNT));
                        }

                        if ( Retrn == 0 ) // no errors
                        {
                              for ( Index = 0; Index < Entry; Index++ )
                              {
                                    if (rdParams.szEntryName == RasEntry[Index].szEntryName);
                                    {
                                          //get connection status for this entry
                                          RASCONNSTATUS ConnectionStatus;

                                          ConnectionStatus.dwSize = sizeof(RASCONNSTATUS);

                                          RasCONNECTSTATUS(m_hRasConn, // handle to RAS connection of interest
                                                                  &ConnectionStatus);      // buffer to receive status data

                                          switch( ConnectionStatus.rasconnstate )
                                          {
                                                case RASCS_Connected:
                                                      m_IAmConnected = TRUE;

                                                //dial-up failed

You have no "break;" in your "case:" statements!!!!!

switch( ConnectionStatus.rasconnstate )
{
case RASCS_Connected:
m_IAmConnected = TRUE;
break;

//dial-up failed
case RASCS_Disconnected:
m_IAmConnected = FALSE;
break;

default:
m_IAmConnected = FALSE;
}
