Making a Phone Call (Windows Embedded CE 6.0)
1/6/2010
To place a call, the application must call the lineMakeCall function. TAPI sends LINE_CALLSTATE messages to indicate the progress of the call. For example, LINE_CALLSTATE indicates states of connection, dialing, proceeding, and so on. The messages vary depending on the type of call and the service that is provided. The application should not be designed to one type or one special sequence of call states.
The lineMakeCall function has the following parameters.
- A handle to the open line device on which a call is originated.
- A pointer to the handle to the call. Use this call handle to identify the call when you invoke other telephony operations on the call.
- A pointer to the destination address. The destination address follows the standard area code and telephone number format.
- The country/region code of the called party.
- A pointer to a LINECALLPARAMS structure. This structure enables the application to specify how to set up the call. Also, it enables the application to select elements, such as the call bearer mode, data rate, expected media, and dialing parameters.
After the lineMakeCall function successfully sets up the call, the application receives a LINE_REPLY message. This message also informs the application that the call handle that is returned by lineMakeCall is valid.
The following code example shows how to open a line and make an outbound call.
