kandi X-RAY | WlanScan Summary

WlanScan is a C++ library. WlanScan has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities, it has a Permissive License and it has low support. You can download it from GitHub.

Trigger scans for wireless networks, show visible networks, and list established connection profiles. The x86 binary was compiled with Visual Studio 2013, so you’ll need the [Visual C++ 2013 redistributables] installed to run it as is. Of course, you can also compile wlanscan.cpp with the compiler of your choice as well. I wrote this when I couldn’t find an existing tool to scan for wireless networks. The built-in Windows netsh.exe won’t actually trigger a new scan, it can only show previously-found networks which may be stale. Features like parsing profiles ended up in there as this also became a fun introduction to Wlan apis :).

Force wifi scan using WlanScan in Python

I want to know how to execute the WlanScan function from python to initiate a wireless network scan. I am using python module win32wifi. It requires a handle obtained using WlanOpenHandle and an interface GUID pInterfaceGuid. I have no idea how to get this GUID. any help would be appreciated.

You get the Guid with WlanEnumInterfaces which returns WLAN_INTERFACE_INFO_LIST structure with WLAN_INTERFACE_INFO structure and InterfaceGuid member

Unable to get all available networks using WlanGetAvailableNetworkList in Python

I am trying to get the list of all available networks using WlanGetAvailableNetworkList. The scan returns an object which contains NumberOfItems. When I loop over the array of networks based NumberOfItems it only shows me the first network and anything beyond that gives me IndexError: invalid index. here's my code

I spoke too soon in my comment (so I deleted it). Apparently, win32wifi.Win32Wifi offers lots of functionalities that wrap CTypes, but the namespace is polluted because of statements like from win32wifi.Win32NativeWifiApi import *. Anyway, here's an example.

QUESTION

Refresh WiFi network list with 'WlanScan' (convert api syntax from c# to vba... or a workaround?)

Asked 2018-Sep-14 at 10:47

I need to refresh Window's list of wireless networks.

I'll gladly accept any workaround that I can automate (cmdline, wmi, etc) directly or indirectly from VBA. (I'm using Windows 7 Home 64-bit with Office 365 Pro 64-bit.)

I can list the networks programmatically a couple ways including netsh, or the code below, but the list does not refresh unless I physically click the Network Connection icon on the taskbar's Notification area.

The list does not auto-update every 60 seconds as some docs state.
Disconnect+Reconnecting the NIC is not a feasible/sustainable option.

I think I'm not getting the handle from WlanOpenHandle as required and I'm green at converting C to VBA.

No errors but WlanScan returns unknown code 1168.

I adapted from the VB version here: wlanscan (wlanapi)
MSDN documentation: WlanScan function

Here's the function declaration for VB, adapted:

Regarding these comments:

and

Surely there's a roundabout way to refresh the network list from VBA? I'm cool with workarounds that I can automate... anything?!
