Notification of RAS hang ups/disconnections

Hi,

I have developed a small executable for a client that will bring up a VPN
connection using RasDial(). I want to know if there are any
notifications/event that can tell me when the VPN is no longer available. For
example, if someone right-clicks on the VPN connection in the sys-tray and
disconnects, I want my executable to be notified of this.

I have tried setting the dwNotifierType, lpvNotifier in my call to
RasDial(), but this stops sending me notifications after a successful
connection.

I have written a small thread that periodically (every second) polls the
connection by calling RasGetConnectStatus(), and although this works, it's
not really the way I want to do it.

Is there a way of being notified of a RAS (VPN) disconnection using a
callback funtion etc...?

RasGetConnectStatus() returns you device line name, you may use it to
monitor line through TAPI, and there you'll get notified by a event indeed,
but you chose a better way really...)
