LONG phoneGetStatusMessages(

Parameters

hPhone

A handle to the open phone device to be monitored.

lpdwPhoneStates

A pointer to a PHONESTATE_ constant. These flags specify the set of phone status changes and events for which the application wishes to receive notification messages. The lpdwPhoneStates parameter can return a value with zero, one, or multiple bits set. Monitoring can be individually enabled and disabled for:

PHONESTATE_OTHER

Phone-status items other than those listed below have changed. The application should check the current phone status to determine which items have changed.

PHONESTATE_CONNECTED

The connection between the phone device and TAPI was just made. This happens when TAPI is first invoked or when the wire connecting the phone to the computer is plugged in while TAPI is active.

PHONESTATE_DISCONNECTED

The connection between the phone device and TAPI was just broken. This happens when the wire connecting the phone set to the computer is unplugged while TAPI is active.

PHONESTATE_OWNER

The number of owners for the phone device has changed.

PHONESTATE_MONITORS

The number of monitors for the phone device has changed.

PHONESTATE_DISPLAY

The display of the phone has changed.

PHONESTATE_LAMP

A lamp of the phone has changed.

PHONESTATE_RINGMODE

The ring mode of the phone has changed.

PHONESTATE_RINGVOLUME

The ring volume of the phone has changed.

PHONESTATE_HANDSETHOOKSWITCH

The handset hookswitch state has changed.

PHONESTATE_HANDSETVOLUME

The handset's speaker volume setting has changed.

PHONESTATE_HANDSETGAIN

The handset's microphone gain setting has changed.

PHONESTATE_SPEAKERHOOKSWITCH

The speakerphone's hookswitch state has changed.

PHONESTATE_SPEAKERVOLUME

The speakerphone's speaker volume setting has changed.

PHONESTATE_SPEAKERGAIN

The speakerphone's microphone gain setting state has changed.

PHONESTATE_HEADSETHOOKSWITCH

The headset's hookswitch state has changed.

PHONESTATE_HEADSETVOLUME

The headset's speaker volume setting has changed.

PHONESTATE_HEADSETGAIN

The headset's microphone gain setting has changed.

PHONESTATE_SUSPEND

The application's use of the phone is temporarily suspended.

PHONESTATE_RESUME

The application's use of the phone device is resumed after having been suspended for some time.

PHONESTATE_DEVSPECIFIC

The phone's device-specific information has changed.

PHONESTATE_REINIT

Items have changed in the configuration of phone devices. To become aware of these changes (as with the appearance of new phone devices) the application should reinitialize its use of TAPI. The hDevice parameter of the PHONE_STATE30RA.WH message is left NULL for this state change, as it applies to any of the phones in the system.

PHONESTATE_CAPSCHANGE

Indicates that, due to configuration changes made by the user or other circumstances, one or more of the fields in the PHONECAPSED9H_G structure have changed. The application should use phoneGetDevCaps5PVF_T5 to read the updated structure. If a service provider sends a PHONE_STATE message containing this value to TAPI, TAPI will pass it along to applications which have negotiated TAPI version 0x00010004 or above; applications negotiating a previous API version will receive PHONE_STATE messages specifying PHONESTATE_REINIT, requiring them to shutdown and reinitialize their connection to TAPI in order to obtain the updated information.

PHONESTATE_REMOVED

Indicates that the device is being removed from the system by the service provider (most likely through user action, via a control panel or similar utility). A PHONE_STATE message with this value will normally be immediately followed by a PHONE_CLOSEFH4LO3 message on the device. Subsequent attempts to access the device prior to TAPI being reinitialized will result in PHONEERR_NODEVICE being returned to the application. If a service provider sends a PHONE_STATE message containing this value to TAPI, TAPI will pass it along to applications which have negotiated TAPI version 0x00010004 or above; applications negotiating a previous API version will not receive any notification.

lpdwButtonModes

A pointer to a . These flags specify the set of phone-button modes for which the application wishes to receive notification messages. The lpdwButtonModes parameter can return a value with zero, one, or multiple bits set. This parameter uses the following PHONEBUTTONMODE_ constants:

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.

lpdwButtonStates

A pointer to a DWORD-sized location that contains flags specifying the set of phone button state changes for which the application wishes to receive notification messages. The lpdwButtonStates field can return a value with zero, one or multiple bits set. This parameter uses the following PHONEBUTTONSTATE_ constants:

PHONEBUTTONSTATE_UP

The button is in the "up" state.

PHONEBUTTONSTATE_DOWN

The button is in the "down" state (pressed down).

PHONEBUTTONSTATE_UNKNOWN

Indicates that the up or down state of the button is not known at this time, but may become known at a future time.

PHONEBUTTONSTATE_UNAVAIL

Indicates that the up or down state of the button is not known to the service provider, and will not become known at a future time.

Return Values

Returns zero if the request is successful or a negative error number if an error has occurred. Possible return values are:

PHONEERR_INVALPHONEHANDLE, PHONEERR_NOMEM, PHONEERR_INVALPOINTER, PHONEERR_RESOURCEUNAVAIL, PHONEERR_OPERATIONFAILED, PHONEERR_UNINITIALIZED.

Remarks

An application can use phoneGetStatusMessages to query the generation of the corresponding messages. Message generation can be controlled by phoneSetStatusMessages. All phone status messages are disabled by default.
