You have to pass through COM automation see this article http://www.codeguru.com/cpp/misc/misc/microsoftofficeoutlook/article.php/c14519/[^]
looks promising.

Good luck.

BTW doing it with a script language (such as VBScript or JScript) is far easier.

Well, that's a matter of personal taste, anyway they've many of defects but in fact I think there is a lot of fun dealing with (for instance, script components ~~http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/x5t0zfyf(VS.80).aspx[^]~~ http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/asxw6z3c%28VS.85%29.aspx[^] are, IMHO, amazing).

I've been living with office automation via COM with a lot of help from MFC. If the OP had asked how to extract text content fro a .doc file, then I might have guided the OP to use COM. But then, somehow I don't like VBS and JS.

That isn't any script component. You seem to have mistakenly pasted a different link. Smile | :)

Can you use Word Automation like:

COleVariant     vtOptional((long) DISP_E_PARAMNOTFOUND, VT_ERROR), 
                vtDoc((short) 0);
 
if (app.CreateDispatch("Word.Application") == TRUE)
{
    docs = app.GetDocuments();
 
    CString strFileName = "myfile.txt";
 
    doc = docs.Open(COleVariant(strFileName), 
                    vtOptional, vtOptional, vtOptional, 
                    vtOptional, vtOptional, vtOptional, 
                    vtOptional, vtOptional, vtOptional, 
                    vtOptional, vtOptional);
 
    strFileName.Replace(".txt", ".doc");
 
    doc.SaveAs(COleVariant(strFileName), vtDoc, 
               vtOptional, vtOptional, vtOptional,
               vtOptional, vtOptional, vtOptional,  
               vtOptional, vtOptional, vtOptional);
}

What kind of component, a COM one?
If you try to obtain an instance of the component then you also test if it is correctly registered.

The repository of COM component registration information is called registry. The regedit is just a tool to access manually the registry content.

My WinXP is having problem to paste code snippets onto CP. Would it be ok that I tell you the names of the APIs, and you read the MSDN for the information about the parameter usage?

Steps:
1. SetupDiGetClassDevEx to get a handle to Device Manager.
2. In a loop, use SetupDiEnumDeviceInfo and SetupDiGetDeviceRegistryProperty to find the ethernet adaptor.
3. If found, use SetupDiSetClassInstallParams and SetupDiCallClassInstaller to disable / enable the ethernet adaptor.
4. SetupDiDestroyDeviceInfoList to free the handle.

Your reply contains answer to my questions.
But i noticed one problem that when i disable network connection using my tool written using above APIs, and try to enable network connection thorough My Network place->Local Area Connection, it gives Connection failed error.

Also I am not able to get the current status of network connection.

Hello,
is there any sample how to open a usb connection and read data,
for example from a USB stick or mobile phone?

Tanks for any help!

You don't open a USB connection. What you do instead is open a handle to the driver of the USB device (using CreateFile) and using WriteFile and ReadFile to write and read data.
The name you need to supply to CreateFile depends of the driver itself. But in the case of a USB stick, you don't do it this way, you just open a file on the USB stick by providing the full path to it.
