lineMonitorDigits

The lineMonitorDigits function enables and disables the unbuffered detection of digits received on the call. Each time a digit of the specified digit mode is detected, a message is sent to the application indicating which digit has been detected.

LONG lineMonitorDigits(

HCALL hCall,
DWORD dwDigitModes
);

Parameters
hCall

A handle to the call on which digits are to be detected. The call state of hCall can be any state except idle or disconnected.

dwDigitModes

The digit mode or modes that are to be monitored. If dwDigitModes is zero, digit monitoring is canceled. This parameter can have multiple flags set, and uses the following LINEDIGITMODE_ constants:

LINEDIGITMODE_PULSE

Detect digits as audible clicks that are the result of rotary pulse sequences. Valid digits for pulse are '0' through '9'.

LINEDIGITMODE_DTMF

Detect digits as DTMF tones. Valid digits for DTMF are '0' through '9', 'A', 'B', 'C', 'D', '*', and '#'.

LINEDIGITMODE_DTMFEND

Detect and provide application notification of DTMF down edges. Valid digits for DTMF are '0' through '9', 'A', 'B', 'C', 'D', '*', and '#'.

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

LINEERR_INVALCALLHANDLE, LINEERR_OPERATIONUNAVAIL, LINEERR_INVALCALLSTATE, LINEERR_OPERATIONFAILED, LINEERR_INVALDIGITMODE, LINEERR_RESOURCEUNAVAIL, LINEERR_NOMEM, LINEERR_UNINITIALIZED.

Remarks
This function is considered successful if digit monitoring has been correctly initiated; not when digit monitoring has terminated. Digit monitoring remains in effect until it is explicitly disabled by calling lineMonitorDigits with dwDigitModes set to zero, until the call transitions to idle, or when the application deallocates its call handle for the call. Although this function can be invoked in any call state, digits are usually detected only while the call is in the connected state.

Each time a digit is detected, a LINE_MONITORDIGITS message is sent to the application passing the detected digit as a parameter.

An application can use lineMonitorDigits to enable or disable unbuffered digit detection. It can use lineGatherDigits for buffered digit detection. After buffered digit gathering is complete, a LINE_GATHERDIGITS message is sent to the application. Both buffered and unbuffered digit detection can be enabled on the same call simultaneously.

Monitoring of digits on a conference call applies only to the hConfCall, not to the individual participating calls.

    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.
