Panic!!!!!!!!!!! Please help!!!!

Hello,
I am working on a project for my semister. I have been assigned the task of building an object that would take a phone number from a textbox and dial the number.....the tricky part is that the default windows phone dialer should not pop up....I have tried with tapiRequestMakeCall but then the default phone dialer is popping up.....I have searched the whole net but could not find a suitable sollution.....would you be able to help me out?

I would appreciate it very much if you could advice me on how to write an object that would take as its parameter a phone from number and dial that number....with out calling the default phone dialer.....

Thank you in advance...

Regards,
MB

i can't help directly but try searching the forums here on vb-world. search for "phone" or "dialer" or "phone dialer", i'm sure someone has asked a similar question before <i vaguely remember a similar question>

i just had a look, try these for starters:
