Aaron, I am trying to run a program off the SDK4 samples called vbAnswer. I can't get it to work...need sdk4 installed to test it and I have it installed.
When I run it , I can simulate a call but it doesn't intercept calls. Can you see anything in this or am I barking at the moon.
Maybe I need refereces or something. I am using DSL (Sympatico) connection and I have a USRobitics 56K internal as well.
Code:
'This is a very simple answering machine.
'It just takes a message and writes it to a wave file in a subdirectory of the application directory.
'You can just double click on the messages and they will be played by the system sound player.
Private Declare Sub CopyMemory Lib "kernel32" Alias "RtlMoveMemory" _
(hpvDest As Any, hpvSource As Any, ByVal cbCopy As Long)
Private Sub ViewDirectory()
'This function simply causes the Explorer to display the Messages directory (and creates it if needed),
'so each time a new message is recorded, an icon appears that can be double clicked on.
'First we try command as if we are in windows 9x, and if that doesn't work, try NT's cmd function.
On Error Resume Next
Dim slash As String
If Right(App.Path, 1) = "\" Then
slash = ""
Else
slash = "\"
End If
mdir = App.Path + slash + "Messages"
MkDir mdir
ChDrive mdir
ChDir mdir
Shell "command.com /c start .", vbMinimizedNoFocus
Shell "cmd /c start .", vbMinimizedNoFocus
End Sub
Private Sub Command1_Click()
phone1.Initialized = 1 'run on emulator
phone1.CallDialog
End
End Sub
Private Sub Command2_Click()
On Error Resume Next
'If phone1.Initialized = 0 Then
' phone1.Initialized = 1
'End If
phone1.Initialized = 0 'run on real phone
phone1.AnswerAfterRings = 4
phone1.CallDialog
End
End Sub
Private Sub Form_Load()
ViewDirectory
'Command2_Click
End Sub
Private Sub phone1_DoPhoneCall(ByVal lineID As Long)
'This function gets called each time the phone is answered, for each phone line.
'Because Telephony supports multiple phone lines, this function may be called simultaneously
'several times, each version (identified by lineID) running on a different thread.
Dim result As Long
Dim size As Long
Dim wave As Long
Dim wavefile() As Byte
Dim filename As String
On Error Resume Next
size = 0
'this line causes a recorded wave file to be used in place of the text wherever it is spoken.
'(if you comment out this line, the text-to-speech engine would be used instead)
'This feature exists so you can prototype your program with text-to-speech, then use
'the wave list editor to do recordings of the string. See the docs for more details.
phone1.WaveAddFromListString lineID, "[FromFile]" + vbNewLine + App.Path + _
"\hianswer.wav=Hi. We can't come to the phone right now. Please leave a message at the beep."

ReDim wavefile(size)

Well, I don't know much about any software telephony issues (mostly because I never did anything involving that)...
But, try clicking this smily, for a site concerning this subject: :rolleyes:

Thanks,
I know diddle either but I figure here is an opportunity
to learn something. Even if I can't finish the task I will learn something.
Thanks again,
Wayne
