This code sample is named CmHelper. It demonstrates how to write a simplified Connection Manager client by deriving functionality from a helper class. This results in a client that focuses on only three things:
- where the data is
- whether a proxy is used
- what information to show the user while connecting
Feature Area
Relevant APIs
- ConnMgrEstablishConnection function
- ConnMgrConnectionStatus function
- ConnMgrReleaseConnection function
- ConnMgrMapURL function
- ConnMgrProviderMessage function
