PHONEBUTTONINFO  1ZRIMP

The PHONEBUTTONINFO structure contains information about a button on a phone device.

typedef struct phonebuttoninfo_tag { 

    DWORD  dwTotalSize;

    DWORD  dwNeededSize;

    DWORD  dwUsedSize;

    DWORD  dwButtonMode;

    DWORD  dwButtonFunction;

    DWORD  dwButtonTextSize;

    DWORD  dwButtonTextOffset;

    DWORD  dwDevSpecificSize;

    DWORD  dwDevSpecificOffset;

    DWORD  dwButtonState;

} PHONEBUTTONINFO, FAR *LPPHONEBUTTONINFO;

Members

dwTotalSize

The total size in bytes allocated to this data structure.

dwNeededSize

The size in bytes for this data structure that is needed to hold all the returned information.

dwUsedSize

The size in bytes of the portion of this data structure that contains useful information.

dwButtonMode

The mode or general usage class of the button. This parameter uses the following PHONEBUTTONMODE_ constants:

PHONEBUTTONMODE_DUMMY

This value is used to describe a button/lamp position that has no corresponding button but has only a lamp.

PHONEBUTTONMODE_CALL

The button is assigned to a call appearance.

PHONEBUTTONMODE_FEATURE

The button is assigned to requesting features from the switch, such as hold, conference, and transfer.

PHONEBUTTONMODE_KEYPAD

The button is one of the twelve keypad buttons, '0' through '9', '*', and '#'.

PHONEBUTTONMODE_LOCAL

The button is a local function button, such as mute or volume control.

PHONEBUTTONMODE_DISPLAY

The button is a "soft" button associated with the phone's display. A phone set can have zero or more display buttons.

dwButtonFunction

The function assigned to the button. This field uses the PHONEBUTTONFUNCTION_ constants.

dwButtonTextSize

dwButtonTextOffset

The size in bytes of the variably sized field containing descriptive text for this button., and the offset in bytes from the beginning of this data structure. The format of this information is as specified in the dwStringFormat field of the phone's device capabilities.

dwDevSpecificSize

dwDevSpecificOffset

The size in bytes of the variably sized device-specific field, and the offset in bytes from the beginning of this data structure.

dwButtonState

For the phoneGetButtonInfo2_K6OVP function, this field indicates the current state of the button, using the PHONEBUTTONSTATE_ constants. This field is ignored by the phoneSetButtonInfo function.

Remarks

Device-specific extensions should use the DevSpecific (dwDevSpecificSize and dwDevSpecificOffset) variably sized area of this data structure.

Older applications will have been compiled without this field in the PHONEBUTTONINFO structure, and using a SIZEOF PHONEBUTTONINFO smaller than the new size. The application passes in a dwAPIVersion parameter with the phoneOpen1_TV1UC function, which can be used for guidance by TAPI in handling this situation. If the application passes in a dwTotalSize less than the size of the fixed portion of the structure as defined in the dwAPIVersion specified, PHONEERR_STRUCTURETOOSMALL will be returned. If sufficient memory has been allocated by the application, before calling TSPI_phoneGetButtonInfo, TAPI will set the dwNeededSize and dwUsedSize fields to the fixed size of the structure as it existed in the specified API version.

New service providers (which support the new API version) must examine the API version passed in. If the API version is less than the highest version supported by the provider, the service provider must not fill in fields not supported in older API versions, as these would fall in the variable portion of the older structure.

New applications must be cognizant of the API version negotiated, and not examine the contents of fields in the fixed portion beyond the original end of the fixed portion of the structure for the negotiated API version.
