how to let user select Access Points?

I'm writing programs on Siemens SX1 (Nokia Series 60 v1.2 enabled).
When I was using socket APIs in STDLIB, everything is ok. If the program can't determine which Access Point to use, it will pop up a menu to let the user select one. But after I switched to RSocket, I have a problem. Sometimes, (especially after I modified the source code and re-downloaded the binary image to the device), the program fails to pop up the menu and can't send out data. I need to run Opera, select the proper Access Point, and then run my program again, in order to solve this problem. Does any one know how to let user choose an Access Point? Thanks! |

This kind of dialog that you were referring to pops up every time the user wants to open a socket and there is no active connection. This is done by the so-called Agent Dialog, whose responsibility is (among others, of course) to present a list of available access points when a connection is about to be established.
If you want to display a similar dialog yourself, then you may use Access Point engine and a UI library upon it, Access Point Settings Handler UI (ApSettingsHandlerUi.dll). I recommend you to use the latter. See ApSettingsHandlerUi.h header file for more details.

1) What do I need to do after showing the menu? Does it set the preferred AP automatically?
2) Now I'm running the program on the Series 60 V2.0 emulator. Although I have installed the ethernet plugin coming from Nokia, the menu shows only a "Dummy WAP settings..". But the SIP plugin shows that there is a LAN_IAP_1. I didn't use any filters. Could you please tell me how could I use LAN_IAP_1? Thanks!
BTW, I can only use APIs of Series 60 V1.2 ...

CApSettingsHandler* iApSettingHandler = CApSettingsHandler::NewLC(ETrue,
EApSettingsSelListIsPopUp ,
EApSettingsSelMenuNormal ,
KEApIspTypeAll,
EApBearerTypeAll,
KEApSortNameAscending);
TUint32 originallyFocused(0);
TUint32 aSelectedIap(0);
// Show the dialog
iApSettingHandler->RunSettingsL(originallyFocused, aSelectedIap);
but I dont want to show this dialog~~
it's not the select access point dialog after the program find no active connection.

As I told you, this dialog is to show a dialog to the user where (s)he can select an access point. AFAIK, an integer value returns on completion. This integer value is an access point ID, which can be used to create a connection based on the select AP.
The other dialog what you are missing is used by the system, when it is about establishing a connection without having a previously selected AP. This dialog can be found in Agent Dialog, but I'm sure that the only thing it provides is the possiblity of selecting an access point (ID), which is the same as what AP Settings Handler UI does. Then the system uses this ID and creates a connection itself.
