TAPI

[Steven Moschidis]

Hello there,
I am a complete novice when it comes to TAPI.
I have been asked to write a simple application that gets an incoming
call and reads some of the information that comes with it (specifically
the number being called). I don't need to answer the call or anything
else with it apart from just reading the number being called.
Basically it will be a small background app that will use TAPI to know
which number is being called when the phone rings (we already have some
software installed that "connects" the desktop to the phone, which came
with our telephony server)

I tried to do it myself, but got completely bogged down when I reached
the stage of registering for the incoming call event or any event for
that matter.

Could someone please point me in the right direction?

Kind Regards,
Steven Moschidis

Use the ATAPI.NET wrapper that Julmar made. It's a lot easier to use than
the TAPI API. You'll find it at http://www.julmar.com/samples.htm
The included samples basically does what you want

Just to clarify. Make sure you download ATAPI.NET, not ATAPI (that's an
older C++ wrapper)

Dear Claes,
Thank you ever so much for your help.
I have downloaded the software you indicated and it does do what I need
it to do.
Thank you for your assistance.
