Enable/Disable Internet

[1690Cat]

Hi.
Is it possible to Enable and Disable your Ethernet Internet connection.I'm running win 8.1 os.
What i'm looking for is an alternative way to use a button to enable/disable without a window popping up
like i get with the following bit of code below.

[Icon1]
Meter=Image
ImageName=Net.png
x=0
y=0
LeftMouseUpAction=["shell:ConnectionsFolder"]

Any help would be much appreciated...

Based on this question, you could try the followings:
1. Add the Var=1 variable to the [Variables] section.
2. Add the following measure:

Code: Select all

[MeasureSet]
Measure=Calc
Formula=#Var#
IfCondition=(MeasureSet=0)
IfTrueAction=[netsh interface set interface "Local Area Connection" DISABLED]
IfFalseAction=[netsh interface set interface "Local Area Connection" ENABLED]
DynamicVariables=1

3. Replace the LeftMouseUpAction option of the [Icon1] meter with the following one: LeftMouseUpAction=[!SetVariable Var "(1-#Var#)"][!UpdateMeasure "MeasureSet"].
I'm not sure if this could help, but maybe it worth a try.

Hi Balala,thanks for answering my post.Tried what you gave me but unfortunately all that happens is a black box appears and goes again.
which says (No more data is available)

[Rainmeter]
Update=1000
DynamicWindowSize=1
AccurateText=1

[Variables]
Var=1

[MeasureSet]
Measure=Calc
Formula=#Var#
IfCondition=(MeasureSet=0)
IfTrueAction=[netsh interface set interface "Local Area Connection" DISABLED]
IfFalseAction=[netsh interface set interface "Local Area Connection" ENABLED]
DynamicVariables=1

[MeterBG]
Meter=Image
ImageName=SideBar.png
x=0
y=0

[MeterIcon1]
Meter=Image
ImageName=Net.png
x=26
y=60
LeftMouseUpAction=[!SetVariable Var "(1-#Var#)"][!UpdateMeasure "MeasureSet"]

Anyway thanks for trying Balala..

It's not quite that simple, as your interface may well not be (in fact probably isn't) called "Local Area Connection".

You might try

ipconfig /release

To release all network connections, thus "disabling" the internet.

and

ipconfig /renew

to reconnect.

You might use the RunCommand plugin to execute the shell commands, so you don't have to get the command window popup.

Hi JSMorley, You were right about interface not being called Local Area Connection all it says is Network with the hardwares name Realtek.
But that code you wrote with RunCommand plugin works like a dream!, so i thank you JSMorley nice job..

The Toggle button in jsmorley's code does work for me, just checked it. I'm on windows 10 v2004.
What the "Toggle button does not work" mean? No change when you click it? Internet is not disabled? Or you can't click it?

Network ok, Internet Ok, but when I click on Toggle it doesn't change the status ....
