Opening a Connection based on User Selection

Extended Connection Preferences API can be used by applications to open a connection based on user selection.

When an application chooses to establish a connection based on user selection, Connection selection dialog needs to be enabled. Only the SNAPs and IAPs matching with bearer set are displayed for selection.

Connect to socket server .

        RSocketServ ss;
ss.Connect();

Open a RConnection object.

        RConnection conn;
conn.Open( ss );

Create a connection preference list and extended connection preferences object.

        TConnPrefList prefList;
TExtendedConnPref preferences;

Enable the Connection selection dialog to accept user queries using TExtendedConnPref::SetConnSelectionDialog() .
```
        preferences.SetConnSelectionDialog( ETrue );
       
```
Append extended connection preferences into connection preference list.
```
        prefList.AppendL( &preferences );
       
```
Start a connection with connection preferences.
```
        conn.Start( prefList );
       
```

The application is connected to the SNAP or IAP selected by the user.
