Michael.....thanks for your suggestion, but man I also know that I will find help in TAPI....the main problem is that I am new to thins VC field and as such don't have the exact idea or knowhow that I can make out what API's to use.....presently i am working with...the API's under "Tone Monitoring".... can you please tell me if I am right regards Maverick

Is it possible to detect incoming telephone calls using VC++......??? To elaborate: assume I want to establish connection with a remote device as soon as I get a call from a friend(modem is used at both ends), so is it possible to establish a connection between the two automatically.. Maverick

Sorry for the confusion...... suppose you have a device and you are at a remote location, where you have a modem and a phone line with you.....and suppose that you want to connect to your PC at your home and so you send a request(your PC is on) so is it possible somehow,that by using the APIs provided in VC++ we can program our system(PC) in such a way that whenever it gets a request it automatically programs the device(which is presently at the remote location). I guess I make sense now regards Harsh

I have an application...when someone calls me(via a modem) I need to initialize the device on his side, so is it possible in some way to know that the call has been made to me....so that I can automate the process and without any manual interaction on my side I can acivate my friend's device.....actually I want that if the application is running and I am not there he should not face any problems :) Maverick

thanks a lot...but it seems that you didn't get the whole problem or rather I didn't frame the problem properly...actually there is an application through which I generate some data, and while printing I want to get the printout in PDF format(I have the PDF writer with me), in that what I get is that the browser window asks me first to save the file in a different format which I don't want. I just want file to be stored at some specified location(which we are free to decide)....In all I want that once the user gives the print command he should get the printout in the PDF format....no interaction in between.....hope I am clear this time ;)

Is it possible to set the default printer as a PDF printer....are there any APIs which support commands to do the conversion Maverick

Hi! Keegan I realy don't understand what you wanted to say...was just going through what you told me , but to no avail.....

:((I am new to the field of VC++....can anyone please tell me as how to create a program that reads a text file, line by line....and if possible how to read each line starting from a particular character to a specified number(of characters)
