Tracking Asynchronous Requests

The function lineMakeCall is one of many functions that operate asynchronously. If an application manages only one line, it can use one state record, a struct containing all the information needed to track one outstanding asynchronous request. State records contain information such as the Request ID, the type of request, and pointers to allocated data that may need to be freed later.

But some applications have to manage more than one linepics/TAPI00090000.giffor example, to manage more than one outgoing call at the same time. To do so, they need to track the different asynchronous requests possible on each of those lines, and must therefore create an array of state records, one for each of the outstanding asynchronous operations (such as multiple invocations of lineMakeCall).

When a reply arrives that shows an asynchronous function has completed, the application matches the incoming Request ID with a Request ID in the array, and does whatever that specific call needs at that point. You can design one function to handle the reply that indicates completion of the outstanding asynchronous lineMakeCall request. The success or failure of the asynchronous request is recorded in the requestResult field of the state struct.

Nostalgia .Net     Nostalgia .Net     .Net is powerful, but not all-powerful, so sometimes we need to use Win32 API for our .Net applications. It's simple enough with Platform Invoke if you have Win32 skill, but we do not always have time to dig the ancient documentation, declare the special types that are compatible with Win32, find the values of the Win32's constants and so on. Nostalgia .Net offers several simple-to-use classes, and components that will allow you to forget about the headache of Win32 and just use the power of Win32 in your application the same way as you use the native. Net classes.  More »
