LINE_GATHERDIGITS

The LINE_GATHERDIGITS message is sent when the current buffered digit-gathering request has terminated or is canceled. The digit buffer may be examined after this message has been received by the application.

LINE_GATHERDIGITS
dwDevice = (DWORD) hCall;

dwCallbackInstance = (DWORD) hCallback;

dwParam1 = (DWORD) GatherTermination;

dwParam2 = (DWORD) 0;

dwParam3 = (DWORD) 0;

Parameters
dwDevice

A handle to the call.

dwCallbackInstance

The callback instance supplied when opening the line.

dwParam1

The reason why digit gathering was terminated. This parameter must be one and only one of the following LINEGATHERTERM_ constants:

LINEGATHERTERM_BUFFERFULL

The requested number of digits has been gathered. The buffer is full.

LINEGATHERTERM_TERMDIGIT

One of the termination digits matched a received digit. The matched termination digit is the last digit in the buffer.

LINEGATHERTERM_FIRSTTIMEOUT

The first digit timeout expired. The buffer contains no digits.

LINEGATHERTERM_INTERTIMEOUT

The inter-digit timeout expired. The buffer contains at least one digit.

LINEGATHERTERM_CANCEL

The request was canceled by this application, by another application, or because the call terminated.

dwParam2

Unused.

dwParam3

The "tick count" (number of milliseconds since Windows started) at which the digit gathering completed. For API versions prior to 0x0002000, this parameter is unused.

Return Values
No return value.

Remarks
The LINE_GATHERDIGITS message is only sent to the application that initiated the digit gathering on the call using lineGatherDigits.

If the lineGatherDigits function is used to cancel a previous request to gather digits, TAPI sends a LINE_GATHERDIGITS message with dwParam1 set to LINEGATHERTERM_CANCEL to the application indicating that the originally specified buffer contains the digits gathered up to the cancellation.

Because the timestamp specified by dwParam3 may have been generated on a computer other than the one on which the application is executing, it is useful only for comparison to other similarly timestamped messages generated on the same line device (LINE_GENERATE, LINE_MONITORDIGITS, LINE_MONITORMEDIA, LINE_MONITORTONE), in order to determine their relative timing (separation between events). The tick count can "wrap around" after approximately 49.7 days; applications must take this into account when performing calculations.

If the service provider does not generate the timestamp (for example, if it was created using an earlier version of TAPI), then TAPI will provide a timestamp at the point closest to the service provider generating the event so that the synthesized timestamp is as accurate as possible.
