calls

[QM_Expert]

would it be possible to make phone calls using qm? any way..

[Gintaras]

google for TAPI
I cannot help, never used TAPI functions, and cannot test

[QM_Expert]

ok i have the TAPI dll but how would this be possible to implement into qm?
would i need to load the typlib? load the dll?
any help would be much appreciated. thanks

You don't need dlls or typelibs. Read TAPI reference in MSDN library and use the functions.

Also Windows has TAPI type library. It should be simpler to use but I don't know where documented.

Or automate Windows Phone Dialer application.

run "dialer.exe"
;...

At first run dialer.exe and configure everything and make sure you can make phone calls with it. It uses TAPI too.

[QM_Expert]

ok first i tryed using it manually, no sucess.
couldnt even get a dial tone hooking phone to computer, or using microphone.

[QM_Expert]

I found this while searching the internet it is vb code. Not sure if this could be any help but i've been trying everything i can find on this TAPI and nothing is working.

thanks...

If cannot dial manually, TAPI codes also will not work. Because dialer.exe uses TAPI too.

[QM_Expert]

ok im still confused about how dialoer.exe works...

-do i need a phone plugged in?
-what kind of setup needs done?

[Gintaras]

never used it, don't know

[stupomer]

I am interested in same thing... Any progress QM_Expert?

Stuart

[QM_Expert]

havent had time to really mess around with this, would be interested to find more info though.

[stupomer]

My work computer doesn't have a modem with a regular telephone jack - just an network card for ethernet. I have ordered a USB modem and will try to use it with the regular windows dialer.exe program. Will let you know.
Stuart

[QM_Expert]

I'm not exactly sure how to setup my computer to use dialer.exe.
Do i need a phone line coming in from the wall jack?
Or can i just plug a phone into the back of my computer in the modem with the telephone jack?
Thanks

You don't need dlls or typelibs. Read TAPI reference in MSDN library and use the functions.

Also Windows has TAPI type library. It should be simpler to use but I don't know where documented.
