PHONE_STATE

TAPI sends the PHONE_STATE message to an application whenever the status of a phone device changes.

PHONE_STATE
hPhone = (HPHONE) hPhoneDevice;

dwCallbackInstance = (DWORD) hCallback;

dwParam1 = (DWORD) PhoneState;

dwParam2 = (DWORD) PhoneStateDetails;

dwParam3 = (DWORD) 0;

Parameters

hPhone

A handle to the phone device.

dwCallbackInstance

The application's callback instance provided when opening the phone device.

dwParam1

The phone state that has changed. This parameter uses the following PHONESTATE_ constants:

PHONESTATE_OTHER

Phone-status items other than those listed below have changed. The application should check the current phone status to determine which items have changed.

PHONESTATE_CONNECTED

The connection between the phone device and TAPI was just made. This happens when TAPI is first invoked or when the wire connecting the phone to the computer is plugged in with TAPI active.

PHONESTATE_DISCONNECTED

The connection between the phone device and TAPI was just broken. This happens when the wire connecting the phone set to the computer is unplugged while TAPI is active.

PHONESTATE_OWNER

The number of owners for the phone device has changed.

PHONESTATE_MONITORS

The number of monitors for the phone device has changed.

PHONESTATE_DISPLAY

The display of the phone has changed.

PHONESTATE_LAMP

A lamp of the phone has changed.

PHONESTATE_RINGMODE

The ring mode of the phone has changed.

PHONESTATE_RINGVOLUME

The ring volume of the phone has changed.

PHONESTATE_HANDSETHOOKSWITCH

The handset hookswitch state has changed.

PHONESTATE_HANDSETVOLUME

The handset's speaker volume setting has changed.

PHONESTATE_HANDSETGAIN

The handset's microphone gain setting has changed.

PHONESTATE_SPEAKERHOOKSWITCH

The speakerphone's hookswitch state has changed.

PHONESTATE_SPEAKERVOLUME

The speakerphone's speaker volume setting has changed.

PHONESTATE_SPEAKERGAIN

The speakerphone's microphone gain setting state has changed.

PHONESTATE_HEADSETHOOKSWITCH

The headset's hookswitch state has changed.

PHONESTATE_HEADSETVOLUME

The headset's speaker volume setting has changed.

PHONESTATE_HEADSETGAIN

The headset's microphone gain setting has changed.

PHONESTATE_SUSPEND

The application's use of the phone device is temporarily suspended.

PHONESTATE_RESUME

The application's use of the phone device is resumed after having been suspended for some time.

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 with the appearance of new phone devices), the application should reinitialize its use of TAPI. The hDevice parameter of the PHONE_STATE message is left NULL for this state change as it applies to any of the phones in the system.

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 higher; applications negotiating a previous API version will not receive any notification.

dwParam2

Phone-state-dependent information detailing the status change. This field is not used if multiple flags are set in dwParam1, because multiple status items have changed. The application should invoke phoneGetStatus to obtain complete set of information.

If dwParam1 is PHONESTATE_OWNER, dwParam2 contains the new number of owners.

If dwParam1 is PHONESTATE_MONITORS, dwParam2 contains the new number of monitors.

If dwParam1 is PHONESTATE_LAMP, dwParam2 contains the button/lamp ID of the lamp that has changed.

If dwParam1 is PHONESTATE_RINGMODE, dwParam2 contains the new ring mode.

If dwParam1 is PHONESTATE_HANDSET, SPEAKER or HEADSET, dwParam2 contains the new hookswitch mode of that hookswitch device. This parameter uses the following PHONEHOOKSWITCHMODE_ constants:

PHONEHOOKSWITCHMODE_ONHOOK

The device's microphone and speaker are both onhook.

PHONEHOOKSWITCHMODE_MIC

The device's microphone is active, the speaker is mute.

PHONEHOOKSWITCHMODE_SPEAKER

The device's speaker is active, the microphone is mute.

PHONEHOOKSWITCHMODE_MICSPEAKER

The device's microphone and speaker are both active.

dwParam3

Unused.

Return Values

No return value.

Remarks

Sending the PHONE_STATE message to the application can be controlled and queried using phoneSetStatusMessages and phoneGetStatusMessages. By default, this message is disabled for all state changes except for PHONESTATE_REINIT, which cannot be disabled. This message is sent to all applications that have a handle to the phone, including those that called phoneOpen with the dwPrivileges parameter set to PHONEPRIVILEGE_OWNER or PHONEPRIVILEGE_MONITOR.

A PHONE_STATE message with an Owners and/or Monitors indication is sent to applications that already have a handle for the phone. This can be the result of another application changing ownership or monitorship of the phone device with phoneOpen, phoneClose or phoneShutdown.
