PHONESTATE_DEVSPECIFIC

The phone's device-specific information has changed.

PHONESTATE_REINIT

Items have changed in the configuration of phone devices. To become aware of these changes (as for the appearance of new phone devices) the application should reinitialize its use of TAPI.

PHONESTATE_CAPSCHANGE

Indicates that, due to configuration changes made by the user or other circumstances, one or more of the fields in the PHONECAPS structure have changed. The application should use phoneGetDevCaps to read the updated structure.

PHONESTATE_REMOVED

Indicates that the device is being removed from the system by the service provider (most likely through user action, through a control panel or similar utility). A PHONE_STATE message with this value will normally be immediately followed by a PHONE_CLOSE message on the device. Subsequent attempts to access the device prior to TAPI being reinitialized will result in PHONEERR_NODEVICE being returned to the application. If a service provider sends a PHONE_STATE message containing this value to TAPI, TAPI will pass it along to applications which have negotiated TAPI version 0x00010004 or above; applications negotiating a previous API version will not receive any notification.
