RasCreatePhonebookEntry

The RasCreatePhonebookEntry function creates a new phone-book entry. The function displays a dialog box in which the user types information for the phone-book entry.

Windows NT: The RasCreatePhonebookEntry function calls the RasEntryDlg function. Applications written for Windows NT version 4.0 should use RasEntryDlg.

DWORD RasCreatePhonebookEntry(
  HWND hwnd,  // handle to the parent window of the dialog box
  LPCTSTR lpszPhonebook
              // pointer to the full path and filename of the 
              // phone-book file
);
 

Parameters

hwnd
Handle to the parent window of the dialog box.
lpszPhonebook
Windows NT: Pointer to a null-terminated string that specifies the full path and filename of a phone-book (.PBK) file. If this parameter is NULL, the function uses the current default phone-book file. The default phone-book file is the one selected by the user in the User Preferences property sheet of the Dial-Up Networking dialog box.

Windows 95: Dial-up networking stores phone-book entries in the registry rather than in a phone-book file.

Return Values

If the function succeeds, the return value is zero.

If the function fails, the return value is the following error code:

Value Description
