Check If Internet Is Available

Hi All,

This might seem like a silly question. But how is it possible to get Opus via scripting or actoins to check if the internet is available.

I have tried just posting to the web, but once I unplug the internet, the code just stops.

Code:

if(InternetPostData(URL_Time, obj, false))
{
Debug.trace("TRUE\n");
}

else
{
Debug.trace("FALSE\n");
}

When I have Internet turned on this works nicely, getting true each time. But if I unplug the internet, I get no response, neither true or false. Function stops at the InternetPostData, so I can't set a variable to 0 to signal that internet is unavailable.

Am I missing something very simple here?

Thanks in advance.

This is an interesting question. Curiosity prompted me to google on it more generally. :arrow:

How does Windows OS keep that little network icon updated?
