If you can convert a VB6 to BCB code (I can't, Can some one offer a
help)  then you may use the following;

Private Sub Timer1_Timer()
    Set nicset =
GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!root/wmi").InstancesOf("MSNdis_80211_ReceivedSignalStrength")
    On Error GoTo no80211Error
    For Each nic In nicset
        SignalStrengthValue =
Right(nic.Ndis80211ReceivedSignalStrength,
Len(nic.Ndis80211ReceivedSignalStrength) - 1)
        If SignalStrengthValue <> "" Then
            SendText ("S=NetSignalStrength~" & SignalStrengthValue)
        End If
        Exit For
    Next
    nicset = Nothing
    Exit Sub

no80211Error:
    SendToConsole "No 802.11 network adapters found"
    Timer1.Enabled = False
End Sub

I think I read an article where these values and more are available by 
querying Windows Management Instrumentation, WMI for short.  Have a look at 
the Microsoft site for more details I also think there was an article in the 
C++ Builder Developer's Journal in the last 6 months.

Not totally sure if this is what you want but it may help.
