When i Go to Start > Run and type: Dialer.exe , and hit enter.

it opens this screen





And when i click on Dial Button in tool bar it shows this screen



And when i press place call button then it shows this screen



what i want is, I have a VB small prog with a textbox and i want to write the phone number in the textbox and press a button then i want only the third screen to appear with dialing the number i just typed in the textbox.

I want to open the third screen that shows only preview and phone call windows. And do not want to show the first screen.

Hi
is there something called excel dialer in MS Excel?

VB6 provides you with MSComm32.ocx to do this. To dial a number typed into a TextBox the code would look like.....

Private Sub Command1_Click()
   MSComm1.CommPort = 1
   MSComm1.PortOpen = True
   MSComm1.Output = "ATDT" & Text1.Text & vbCrLf
End Sub

Hi
thanks for your reply, i tried this code. but it does not show me this window when i press command1

is there something needed i need to configure to view this window? I only need to see this window on the click of a button. and nothing else

MSComm is a self contained control to access RS232. It is not an interface to the windows dialer. You can build a complete terminal from it.

If you insist on accessing the windows dialer via VB then Shell it. I don't see the point though.

Hi,
how can i shell only this part of dialer.exe ? when clicking on a button? and the phone number is written in a textbox

Shelling Dialer.exe is IMO low grade so lets stick with MSComm. The code that I posted lacked a vbCrLf at the end of the AT Command. I modified it the day that I posted it but you may not have caught it. It should look like this.

Private Sub Command1_Click()
   MSComm1.CommPort = 3       ' Change to the port you're using!
   MSComm1.PortOpen = True
   MSComm1.Output = "ATDT" & Text1.Text & vbCrLf
End Sub

Note: I changed the port to COM3 because Windows internal modem usually defaults to COM3. Make sure that your internal modem settings have the speaker turned on, so you can hear it dialing.

BTW, dialing is one of the easiest things you can do with MSComm.

Hi,
im getting Invalid Port Number. Can i send you a PM please?

[CDRIVE]

You haven't stated whether you're using an internal or external modem or virtual or real serial ports. Your Device Manager will list your ports. If you're using the internal modem the Device Manager will list the port it's assigned to.

I do not answer topics via PM's.
