John,

Broadly speaking, code for Visual Basic will work fine in VBA.

It appears that the links provide info for VISUAL bASIC, BUT
not FOR Visual
Basic for Applications. Can I still use the same code
sequences? It looks a
LOT differenent!

TIA

Greetings and Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas too.


I am looking for some references and code samples to access
TAPI.

See MS TAPI sample from P-SDK.
See my TAPI and TSPI FAQ:
Q: Is there any sample code available ?

I am looking for how to Disconnect a call (using TAPI)

With Assisted Telephony (tapiRequestMakeCall) you can only
initiate making
a
call.
You can not control the call (e.g. drop it) via Assisted
Telephony.
Only the call manager application that actually makes the
call can provide
further control over that call.
If you want full control over a call you have to implement a
full TAPI
application, i.e. do lineIntializeEx, lineOpen, lineMakeCall
and process
the
LINE_xxx messages. This is the TAPI 2 approach.
On W2k, XP and WS2k3 you have additionally TAPI 3 with a COM
interface.
See samples mentioned above and play around with TAPI
Browsers TB20 /
TB3x:

Q: Where can I download TAPI Browser ?

How to count the number of rings (is this possible?) and
display how
many
rings have occurred since dialing.

Yes, you should receive a LINE_LINEDEVSTATE
(LINEDEVSTATE_RINGING)
message:
TAPI Service Providers notify applications on each ring cycle
by
repeatedly
sending LINE_LINEDEVSTATE messages containing this constant.
For example,
in
the United States, service providers send a message with this
constant
every
six seconds.
Test it with TB20.
You have to enable this message by lineSetStatusMessages().


I would alos like to trap "Caller ID" info if possible!

You can find the caller ID string at
LINECALLINFO.dwCallerIDOffset/Size
when
LINECALLINFO.dwCallerIDFlags contains
LINECALLPARTYID_ADDRESS.
You can retrieve this structure by lineGetCallInfo() for a
new call and on
any
changes notified via
LINE_CALLINFO(LINECALLINFOSTATE_CALLERID) message.
Test it with TB20.


It is recommended to post TAPI questions only to the managed
TAPI
newsgroup:
