lineGetDevConfig

The lineGetDevConfig function returns an "opaque" data structure object, the contents of which are specific to the line (service provider) and device class. The data structure object stores the current configuration of a media-stream device associated with the line device.

LONG lineGetDevConfig(

DWORD dwDeviceID,
LPVARSTRING lpDeviceConfig,
LPCSTR lpszDeviceClass
);

Parameters
dwDeviceID

The line device to be configured.

lpDeviceConfig

A pointer to the memory location of type VARSTRING where the device configuration structure is returned. Upon successful completion of the request, this location is filled with the device configuration. The dwStringFormat field in the VARSTRING structure will be set to STRINGFORMAT_BINARY. Prior to calling lineGetDevConfig, the application should set the dwTotalSize field of this structure to indicate the amount of memory available to TAPI for returning information.

lpszDeviceClass

A pointer to a NULL-terminated ASCII string that specifies the device class of the device whose configuration is requested. Valid device class lineGetID strings are the same as those specified for the function.

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

LINEERR_BADDEVICEID, LINEERR_NODRIVER, LINEERR_INVALDEVICECLASS, LINEERR_OPERATIONUNAVAIL, LINEERR_INVALPOINTER, LINEERR_RESOURCEUNAVAIL, LINEERR_STRUCTURETOOSMALL, LINEERR_OPERATIONFAILED, LINEERR_NOMEM, LINEERR_UNINITIALIZED, LINEERR_NODEVICE.

Remarks
Call states are device specific.

The lineGetDevConfig function can be used to retrieve a data structure from TAPI that specifies the configuration of a media stream device associated with a particular line device. For example, the contents of this structure could specify data rate, character format, modulation schemes, and error control protocol settings for a "datamodem" media device associated with the line.

Typically, an application will call lineGetID to identify the media stream device associated with a line, and then call lineConfigDialog to allow the user to set up the device configuration. It could then call lineGetDevConfig, and save the configuration information in a phone book (or other database) associated with a particular call destination. When the user later wishes to call the same destination again, lineSetDevConfig can be used to restore the configuration settings selected by the user. The functions lineSetDevConfig, lineConfigDialog, and lineGetDevConfig can be used, in that order, to allow the user to view and update the settings.

The exact format of the data contained within the structure is specific to the line and media stream API (device class), is undocumented, and is undefined. The structure returned by this function cannot be directly accessed or manipulated by the application, but can only be stored intact and later used in lineSetDevConfig to restore the settings. The structure also cannot necessarily be passed to other devices, even of the same device class (although this may work in some instances, it is not guaranteed).

    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.
