lineNegotiateAPIVersion

The lineNegotiateAPIVersion function allows an application to negotiate an API version to use.

LONG lineNegotiateAPIVersion(

HLINEAPP hLineApp,
DWORD dwDeviceID,
DWORD dwAPILowVersion,
DWORD dwAPIHighVersion,
LPDWORD lpdwAPIVersion,
LPLINEEXTENSIONID lpExtensionID
);

Parameters

hLineApp

The handle to the application's registration with TAPI.

dwDeviceID

The line device to be queried.

dwAPILowVersion

The least recent API version the application is compliant with. The high-order word is the major version number; the low-order word is the minor version number.

dwAPIHighVersion

The most recent API version the application is compliant with. The high-order word is the major version number; the low-order word is the minor version number.

lpdwAPIVersion

A pointer to a DWORD-sized location that contains the API version number that was negotiated. If negotiation is successful, this number will be in the range between dwAPILowVersion and dwAPIHighVersion.

lpExtensionID

A pointer to a structure of type LINEEXTENSIONID. If the service provider for the specified dwDeviceID supports provider-specific extensions, then, upon a successful negotiation, this structure is filled with the extension ID of these extensions. This structure contains all zeros if the line provides no extensions. An application can ignore the returned parameter if it does not use extensions.

Return Values

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

LINEERR_BADDEVICEID, LINEERR_NODRIVER, LINEERR_INCOMPATIBLEAPIVERSION, LINEERR_OPERATIONFAILED, LINEERR_INVALAPPHANDLE, LINEERR_RESOURCEUNAVAIL, LINEERR_, LINEERR_UNINITIALIZED, LINEERR_NOMEM, LINEERR_OPERATIONUNAVAIL, LINEERR_NODEVICE.

Remarks

Use lineInitializeEx to determine the number of line devices present in the system. The device ID specified by dwDeviceID varies from zero to one less than the number of line devices present.

The lineNegotiateAPIVersion function is used to negotiate the API version number to use. It also retrieves the extension ID supported by the line device, and returns zeros if no extensions are supported. If the application wants to use the extensions defined by the returned extension ID, it must call lineNegotiateExtVersion to negotiate the extension version to use.

The API version number negotiated is that under which TAPI can operate. If version ranges do not overlap, the application and API or service provider versions are incompatible and an error is returned.
