interface telecom with vb

[junoon]

dear

i want to integrate a telephone equipment with vb form
i.e as soon as someone rings the phone a form should pop on window

could you do that

if you understand the MSComm Control, you could use the OnComm event with the the Ring event. Then you could do that! check MSDN

OK, i will expand a bit on gwDash's comments.

Create a new exe, add the MSCOMM control. On the form, create a label (label1), a ListBox (List1) and last but not least the MSCOMM control (MSCOMM1), then paste the code below into the form code (overwrite any code that already exists in there),


<---Start Of Code--->

Private Sub Form_Load()
MSComm1.CommPort = 1 'Set the comm port of the modem
MSComm1.Settings = "9600,N,8,1" 'Set some modem settings (These will do for this project)

MSComm1.PortOpen = True
End Sub

Private Sub MSComm1_OnComm()

'Check if the event was a ring
If MSComm1.CommEvent = 6 Then

'If it was add 1 to the number of rings recieved by the program (to a label that the user can see)
Label1.Tag = Label1.Tag + 1
Label1.Caption = "Total Number Of Rings: " & Label1.Tag

'Record the time at which the ring was detected
Tim$ = Time$

'Ask the user who called
caller = InputBox("Who called?", "Who Called?", "Company")

'Add the event to a list with the time at which the phone rang
List1.AddItem caller & " rang at " & Tim$

End If
End Sub


<---End of code--->


Hope this has helped
