Something about TAPI -- call picked up ?

[Lost User]

Hi, I am designing and developing a voice and telephony related project with C programming and TAPI 2.0. I need a voice modem and use this modem to make a phone call. My question is as follows. After I make a phone call, how, can I know somebody already "picks up" the phone call ? I need to know when or if somebody picks up the phone because my program needs to do audio playback on the phone. Any response would be appreciated !

I guess you initiated the call with lineMakeCall. If so, after this function returns providing an HCALL for the call, the callback function the program registers with lineInitialize will start receiving notifications about the progress of the call. The connection establishment is signaled by the LINE_CALLSTATE message with call state param LINECALLSTATE_CONNECTED. If you're new to TAPI programming you may want to have a look at Michael Dunn's TAPI site (this Michael Dunn is not the Michael Dunn from CP, I think.)

A lot depends on the capabilities of your modem. Most modems send a Connected Call State as soon as they connect and the other end starts ringing, not when the person answers at the other end. Michael :-)
