lineGetRequest

The lineGetRequest function retrieves the next by-proxy request for the specified request mode.

LONG lineGetRequest(

HLINEAPP hLineApp,

DWORD dwRequestMode,

LPVOID lpRequestBuffer

);

Parameters

hLineApp

The application's usage handle for the line portion of TAPI.

dwRequestMode

The type of request that is to be obtained. Note that dwRequestMode can only have one bit set. This parameter uses the following LINEREQUESTMODE_ constants:

LINEREQUESTMODE_MAKECALL

A tapiRequestMakeCall request.

lpRequestBuffer

A pointer to a memory buffer where the parameters of the request are to be placed. The size of the buffer and the interpretation of the information placed in the buffer depends on the request mode. The application-allocated buffer is assumed to be of sufficient size to hold the request.

If dwRequestMode is LINEREQUESTMODE_MAKECALL, interpret the content of the request buffer using the LINEREQMAKECALL structure.

If dwRequestMode is LINEREQUESTMODE_MEDIACALL, interpret the content of the request buffer using the LINEREQMEDIACALL structure.

Return Values

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

LINEERR_INVALAPPHANDLE, LINEERR_NOTREGISTERED, LINEERR_INVALPOINTER, LINEERR_OPERATIONFAILED, LINEERR_INVALREQUESTMODE, LINEERR_RESOURCEUNAVAIL, LINEERR_NOMEM, LINEERR_UNINITIALIZED, LINEERR_NOREQUEST.

Remarks

A telephony-enabled application can request that a call be placed on its behalf by invoking tapiRequestMakeCall. These requests are queued by TAPI and the highest priority application that has registered to handle the request is sent a LINE_REQUEST message with indication of the mode of the request that is pending. Typically, this application is the user's call-control application. The LINE_REQUEST message indicates that zero or more requests may be pending for the registered application to process; after receiving LINE_REQUEST, it is the responsibility of the recipient application to call lineGetRequest until LINEERR_NOREQUEST is returned, indicating that no more requests are pending.

Next, the call-control application that receives this message invokes lineGetRequest, specifying the request mode and a buffer that is large enough to hold the request. The call-control application then interprets and executes the request.

After execution of lineGetRequest, TAPI purges the request from its internal queue, making room available for a subsequent request. It is therefore possible for a new LINE_REQUEST message to be received immediately upon execution of lineGetRequest, should the same or another application issue another request. It is the responsibility of the request recipient application to handle this scenario by some mechanism (for example, by making note of the additional LINE_REQUEST and deferring a subsequent lineGetRequest until processing of the preceding request completes, by getting the subsequent request and buffer as necessary, or by another appropriate means).

Note that the subsequent LINE_REQUEST should not be ignored because it will not be repeated by TAPI.

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 »
