Hello:
I have a program on Laptop that when network is active (there is a WIFI, ie) must do some tasks (in fact check for updates).
Is there any standard way to do so, without continuously pooling if it can connect to Internet?
Saludos

Not in a cross-platform manner. So you'll need to tell us what OS you are using.

I supposed so. :-(, I'll have to hook something.
The OS is windows XP/7 and WinCE.
Any idea?

A standard way to check this I don't know any. I don't even know if an appication can catch events sent by the OS when a network connection raises..
I've made an application wich polls the network for a TCP/IP target : once at the application load and then on a regular basis. to have it as a standard as possible (from my point of view), I'built a service which runs on Win32, Win64, Linux x86_64 and WinCE.
It is almost standard for all platforms as it uses Indy sockets and potocols on both sides: update server and targets. The only exception is the WinCE application wich connects to a local server to check for a new version. But all TCP/IP prorocol is coded in one FPC unit and compiled using Lazarus in all applications that need it.

Here is a bit I did over ten years ago (please let me know if something is out-of-date):
How can we programmatically detect if the computer our application is running on is connected to the Internet?
