lineGetAddressID

The lineGetAddressID function returns the address ID associated with an address in a different format on the specified line.

LONG lineGetAddressID(

HLINE hLine,
LPDWORD lpdwAddressID,
DWORD dwAddressMode,
LPCSTR lpsAddress,
DWORD dwSize
);

Parameters
hLine

A handle to the open line device.

lpdwAddressID

A pointer to a DWORD-sized memory location where the address ID is returned.

dwAddressMode

The address mode of the address contained in lpsAddress. The dwAddressMode parameter is allowed to have only a single flag set. This parameter uses the following LINEADDRESSMODE_ constants:

LINEADDRESSMODE_DIALABLEADDR

The address is specified by its dialable address. The lpsAddress parameter is the dialable address or canonical address format.

lpsAddress

A pointer to a data structure holding the address assigned to the specified line device. The format of the address is determined by dwAddressMode. Because the only valid value is LINEADDRESSMODE_DIALABLEADDR, lpsAddress uses the common dialable number format and is NULL-terminated.

dwSize

The size of the address contained in lpsAddress.

Return Values
Returns zero if the request is successful or a negative error number if an error has occurred. Possible return values are:

LINEERR_INVALLINEHANDLE, LINEERR_OPERATIONUNAVAIL, LINEERR_INVALADDRESSMODE, LINEERR_OPERATIONFAILED, LINEERR_INVALPOINTER, LINEERR_RESOURCEUNAVAIL, LINEERR_INVALADDRESS, LINEERR_UNINITIALIZED, LINEERR_NOMEM.

Remarks
The lineGetAddressID function is used to map a phone number (address) assigned to a line device back to its dwAddressID in the range 0 to the number of addresses minus one returned in the line's device capabilities. The lineMakeCall function allows the application to make a call by specifying a line handle and an address on the line. The address can be specified as a dwAddressID, as a phone number, or as a device-specific name or identifier. Using a phone number may be practical in environments where a single line is assigned multiple addresses. Note that LINEADDRESSMODE_ADDRESSID may not be used with lineGetAddressID.
