3/26/2014

This function gives ownership of the specified call to another application. The application can be either specified directly by its file name or indirectly as the highest priority application that handles calls of the specified media mode.

Syntax

LONG WINAPI lineHandoff(
  HCALL hCall,
  LPCSTR lpszFileName,
  DWORD dwMediaMode 
);

Parameters

  • hCall
    Handle to the call to be handed off. The application must be an owner of the call. The call state of hCall can be any state.
  • lpszFileName
    Pointer to a null-terminated string. If this pointer parameter is non-NULL, it contains the file name of the application that is the target of the handoff. If NULL, the handoff target is the highest priority application that has opened the line for owner privilege for the specified media mode. A valid file name does not include the path of the file.
  • dwMediaMode
    Media mode used to identify the target for the indirect handoff. The dwMediaMode parameter indirectly identifies the target application that is to receive ownership of the call. This parameter is ignored if lpszFileName is not NULL. This parameter uses one and only one of the LINEMEDIAMODE constants.

Return Value

Returns zero if the request succeeds or a negative error number if an error occurs. The following table shows the return values for this function.

Value

Description

LINEERR_INVALCALLHANDLE

The handle to the call to be handed off is invalid.

LINEERR_OPERATIONFAILED

The operation failed.

LINEERR_INVALMEDIAMODE

The media mode is invalid.

LINEERR_TARGETNOTFOUND

The target for the call handoff was not found.

LINEERR_INVALPOINTER

The pointer is invalid.

LINEERR_TARGETSELF

The calling application attempted an indirect handoff.

LINEERR_NOMEM

Not enough memory is available.

LINEERR_UNINITIALIZED

A parameter is uninitialized.

LINEERR_NOTOWNER

The application is not the owner of the call.

Remarks

The lineHandoff function returns LINEERR_TARGETSELF if the calling application attempted an indirect handoff (that is, set the lpszFileName parameter to NULL) and TAPI determined that the application is itself the highest priority application for the given media mode. If LINEERR_TARGETNOTFOUND is returned, a target for the call handoff was not found. This can occur if the named application did not open the same line with the LINECALLPRIVILEGE_OWNER bit in the dwPrivileges parameter of lineOpen. Or, in the case of media-mode handoff, no application has opened the same line with the LINECALLPRIVILEGE_OWNER bit in the dwPrivileges parameter of lineOpen and with the media mode specified in the dwMediaModes parameter of lineOpen.

Call handoff allows ownership of a call to be passed among applications. There are two types of handoffs. In the first type, if the application knows the file name of the target application, it can simply specify that file name. If an instance of the target application has opened the line device, ownership of the call is passed to the other application; otherwise, the handoff fails and an error is returned. This form of handoff succeeds if the call handle is handed off to the same file name as the application requesting the handoff.

The second type of handoff is based on media mode. In this case, the application indirectly specifies the target application by means of a media mode. The highest priority application that has currently opened the line device for that media mode is the target for the handoff. If there is no such application, the handoff fails and an error is returned.

The lineHandoff function does not change the media mode of a call. To change the media mode of a call, the application should use the lineSetMediaMode function on the call, specifying the new media mode. This changes the call's media mode as stored in the call's LINECALLINFO structure.

If handoff succeeds, the receiving application receives a LINE_CALLSTATE message for the call. This message indicates that the receiving application has owner privilege to the call (dwParam3). In addition, the number of owners and/or monitors for the call may have changed. This is reported by the LINE_CALLINFO message, and the receiving application can then invoke the lineGetCallStatus and lineGetCallInfo functions to retrieve more information about the received call.

The receiving application should first check the media mode in LINECALLINFO. If only a single media mode flag is set, the call is officially of that media mode, and the application can act accordingly. If UNKNOWN and other media mode flags are set, then the media mode of the call is officially UNKNOWN but is assumed to be of one of the media modes for which a flag is set in LINECALLINFO. The application should assume that it ought to probe for the highest priority media mode.

If the probe succeeds (either for that media mode or for another one), the application should set the media mode member in LINECALLINFO to the single media mode that was recognized. If the media mode flag matches the LINECALLINFO media mode, the application can act accordingly. If it makes a determination for another media mode, it must first hand off the call to that media mode.

If the probe fails, the application should clear the corresponding media mode flag in LINECALLINFO and hand off the call, specifying dwMediaMode as LINEMEDIAMODE_UNKNOWN. It should also deallocate its call handle (or revert back to monitoring).

If none of the media modes succeeded in making a determination, only the UNKNOWN flag remains set in the media mode field of LINECALLINFO at the time the media application attempts to hand off the call to UNKNOWN. The final lineHandoff fails if the application is the only remaining owner of the call. This informs the application that it should drop the call and deallocate its handle, in which case the call is abandoned. The privileges of the invoking application to the call are unchanged by this operation, but the application can change its privileges to a call with the lineSetCallPrivilege function.
