FULL
TAPI 2.1 - FROM VB!
Download (63k) VB source here!
BUGFIX! (03/10/00)
lineInitializeEx was incorrectly declared in mTAPIDecs.bas. Some
Consts were made more explicit. Also, I had saved the sample in VB6 so
there was an error when opening in VB5. The new upload was last saved in
VB5 so there should be no error.
DETAILS:
This
sample uses the MS TAPI 2.1 API directly with no
external dlls or controls necessary (besides the TAPI and VB
runtime dlls). It was written entirely in VB and includes full,
commented, compilable (in VB5 or VB6) source code.
This is
not just another Assisted Telephony app! I became so
frustrated when looking for TAPI samples for VB that I decided to
write my own. I know what it feels like to think you have found a
good sample, only to find that it is dependent on some half-baked
3rd party dll or control with NO SOURCE available for download. Of course, controls have their place, but this sample is for
those who are learning the API and want to know what is happening
at the TAPI level. Because I am learning too, I make no claims
that this is the last word in VB-TAPI. It is certainly not
commercial code and is only partially finished and tested. However, I feel that this sample shows that TAPI application
development is certainly possible in native VB and I hope this
will be helpful for those of you who must, for whatever reason,
use VB as your primary development environment.
Comments from a programmer like you:
"I've been using your outstanding TAPI example for the past few days.
I've learned more from your single example than I have from all the semi-decent
and outright lousy web pages and tutorials that I've seen elsewhere
*combined*...Thanks! (the c code now even makes
sense!)" G. H. (12/03/99)
Techniques demonstrated in this
project
--------------------------------------- |
| A
significant translation of the line-device portion of the
TAPI.H file, including declares and constants which you
can use in your own applications! The test project shows
several useful techniques including:
Initializing, version-checking, and checking
dev-caps for installed TAPI devices
Extracting icons from TAPI lines
Wrapping the TAPI API into a class module and
routing callbacks to the class
Dialing out on selected line devices using the
INTERACTIVE_VOICE media mode
