lineDevSpecific

The lineDevSpecific function enables service providers to provide access to features not offered by other TAPI functions. The meaning of the extensions are device specific, and taking advantage of these extensions requires the application to be fully aware of them.

LONG lineDevSpecific(

HLINE hLine,

DWORD dwAddressID,

HCALL hCall,

LPVOID lpParams,

DWORD dwSize

);

Parameters

hLine

A handle to a line device. This parameter is required.

dwAddressID

An address ID on the given line device.

hCall

A handle to a call. This parameter is optional, but if it is specified, the call it represents must belong to the hLine line device. The call state of hCall is device specific.

lpParams

A pointer to a memory area used to hold a parameter block. The format of this parameter block is device specific and its contents are passed by TAPI to or from the service provider.

dwSize

The size in bytes of the parameter block area.

Return Values

Returns a positive request ID if the function will be completed asynchronously, or a negative error number if an error has occurred. The dwParam2 parameter of the corresponding LINE_REPLY message is zero if the function is successful, or it is a negative error number if an error has occurred. Possible return values are:

LINEERR_INVALADDRESSID, LINEERR_OPERATIONUNAVAIL, LINEERR_INVALCALLHANDLE, LINEERR_OPERATIONFAILED, LINEERR_INVALLINEHANDLE, LINEERR_RESOURCEUNAVAIL, LINEERR_INVALPOINTER, LINEERR_UNINITIALIZED, LINEERR_NOMEM.

Additional return values are device specific.

Remarks

This operation is part of the Extended Telephony services. It provides access to a device-specific feature without defining its meaning. This operation is only available if the application has successfully negotiated a device-specific extension version.

This function provides a generic parameter profile. The interpretation of the parameter structure is device specific. Whether dwAddressID and/or hCall are expected to be valid is device-specific. If specified, they must belong to hLine. Indications and replies sent back the application that are device specific should use the LINE_DEVSPECIFIC message.

A service provider can provide access to device-specific functions by defining parameters for use with this function. Applications that want to make use of these device-specific extensions should consult the device-specific (in this case, vendor-specific) documentation that describes what extensions are defined. An application that relies on these device-specific extensions will typically not be able to work with other service provider environments.
