How to get notification for new available Wifi Network

Is there a way to get a notification when a new Wifi Network has been detected?

I glanced through the Native Wifi API Reference and found the WlanRegisterNotification function but I'm not sure if that includes what i am looking for. The remark does not mention it.

Yes, WlanRegisterNotification is indeed the correct function. You need to do a little digging in the documentation to find exactly what each notification provides, by looking at WLAN_NOTIFICATION_DATA (in the remarks section for WlanRegisterNotification), then WLAN_NOTIFICATION_ACM†. Specifically, you're looking for one of these two notifications:

  • wlan_notification_acm_network_available Which gives a notification when a connectable network is detected, and you're not currently connected to another network, and there isn't an automatic connection available.
  • wlan_notification_acm_scan_list_refresh (Windows 8+)

† ACM stands for "auto configuration module"
