Best way to add faxing to app?
-
Hi there, we've been doing some research into including the ability to fax from an application. The best we could find is the Winfax 10 API, but I'm wondering if there is something more generic out there or if anyone has any ideas about doing this. We originally thought we could use MAPI but there doesn't seem to be a common way of doing that. We want to ideally be able to send a print job via fax to a number supplied by our application.

At work we use e-mail to fax from our apps: just sent whatever you want to fax as an e-mail attachment. Don't know too much about the detail, it seems the (e-mail/fax server) knows how to distinguish which messages are to be e-mailed and which ones are to be faxed.

Use TAPI, either through the native C-api, or through a third party component. If you're running Win2K you can also use the native FAX api. Search for "fax service" in the platform SDK documentation Christian Skovdal Andersen

I have absolutely no experience with it, but this toolkit has been around for a long time. http://www.data-tech.com/Products/FaxMan/faxman.asp David

I have heard about fax integrated as a printer driver for Linux. I do not have any info on anything similar in Windows. The linux one allows the user to add a printer in windows and print to the fax server as a network printer. All your application has to support is network printing. I think if you search on the Internet, you will be able to find products that work on the same lines as this working fully on Windows. The Linux one is called HylaFax. -Thomas

Hmm, every fax software package I have used on Windows implements it as a print driver of some form. Tim Smith Descartes Systems Sciences, Inc.
