I'm hesitant to integrate this code into the official project because of how little testing and feedback this code has been through. Furthermore, the new DLL only works on systems that have GlobalMemoryStatusEx available (Windows 2000, XP, 2003, and Vista) but I've only tested on XP. Although I think one possible to make it compatible with Win95 to Vista would be to add a check for the presence of GlobalMemoryStatusEx and then running the appropriate code. On the networking side I haven't been as lucky. I think using PDH.DLL is a fairly easy solution to grab data instantaneous data. However, there is no solution I could find for the looping of the network data information. The problem is that both dwInOctets and dwOutOctets under MID_IFROW (iphlpapi.dll) are of type DWORD so they return data as unsigned 32-bit integers. Every time their value goes above 2^32, they loop. It also doesn't help they are passed to VB data type Long which has a max value of 2^31-1. The only way to make this work is by running a service in the background that polls the data frequently enough to both record data and to increment a counter for each rollover. Then the data could be correctly displayed by running dwInOctets (loop counter * 2 ^ 32). The sad part is if you run "netstat -e" from the command line in Windows XP and transfer a large file, it too will reset to 0 once crossing the 4gig (2^32) limit. Björn: Nice to hear from you.

I wrote a little entry in my blog about it, and well - if you're interested I'd be more than happy to grant you access to the sourceforge-repository so you can upload the changes you've made (i don't think i have a vb-compiler around anymore for one) :) Good stuff!
