PhoneTO

[driessen]

Hello,

Does anyone has an idea why this function is not working anymore?

Code: Select all  Expand view

DLL32 Function PhoneTo(cPhoneNo As LPSTR,cAppName AS LPSTR,cName AS LPSTR,cComment AS LPSTR) AS LONG PASCAL FROM "tapiRequestMakeCall" LIB "tapi32.dll"
........
PhoneTo(IF(US->USTELNUL,"0","") + ALLTRIM(cTelNr),"wordt opgebeld door",ALLTRIm(cTelNm),ALLTRIM(US->USERNAAM))
 

This function used to be working very fine. I use it to make a phonecall by pushing a button next to the phone number.
If I push the button now, the dialer is opened, but the phone number is not visible and the call is not made.

Anyone any idea?

Thanks.

Can I have a small test sample to try ?

I think you have to replace tapiRequestMakeCall with tapiRequestMakeCallA , see https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms737210(v=vs.85).aspx.
A lot of windows method has 2 versions, ending with A for Ansi version and with W for wideChar version, then define the version without suffix based on unicode compilation option.

Michel,

Please do a MsgInfo( PhoneTo( ... ) ) so we can check the return code:

Return value
Returns zero if the request succeeds or a negative error number if an error occurs. Possible error return value are:

TAPIERR_NOREQUESTRECIPIENT, TAPIERR_INVALDESTADDRESS, TAPIERR_REQUESTQUEUEFULL, TAPIERR_INVALPOINTER.

Antonio,

I tried your suggestion. The value 0 is returned.

The dialer screen appears, but without phone number. For the rest, nothing happens.

Michel,

Please replace DLL32 with DLL and try it again

Hey Michel,

Do you install the tapi on every PC where you want to use the phone system?

I have a Panasonic KX-NCP500 system witch is used over LAN. There is a Panasonic Software, that only shows the popup of the dialing number,
but if I want to do more with it, I need to have the Phonenumber.

I tried with Sockeds and the Samples in FW, but never succeeded. Just can't read the data from the Phone system.

Maybe I can better move back to Tapi to get the system working.

I suppose also that I need to find the Tapi driver from Panasonic

Do you use only Tapi on your Software ? even ano 2018 ??
