Returning Wiimote Connection Status

Could someone give me a very small, simple snippet of code that detects wether or not a wiimote is connected. For example:

if(wiimote_chan_0 is connected)
do something();

if(wiimote_chan_1 is connected)
do something();

//etc.

I tried about 5 different things and nothing appears to be working (and I dont have much time to keep playing around).

Thanks in advance to everyone,

I use this code in my WiiCmd class:

bool WiiCmd::WiimoteConnected(int wiimote){

        u32 type;
        int res = WPAD_Probe(wiimote, &type);
        if(res == WPAD_ERR_NONE){
                return true;
        }

        return false;
}

Which is called like this:

if(!w->WiimoteConnected(0)){
           m->msg("  Waiting for Wiimote #1 to connect.");
}

0 being the channel of the wiimote.

Thank you. My code is similiar except I was looking for something other than WPAD_ERR_NONE. Thank you very much. My problems are solved now. I really appreciate this.
