how to do a TAPI call

Hi
I want to make a call with my mda without using the RAS dialer. Direct access to the COM-ports does not work, as described in the document "Serial Communications". But that documents mentions that TAPI calls are possible with an xda.
It says:
"If you´ve establised a call, TAPI returns a handle for further data-i/o..."
Is there an example how to make a call using TAPI especially how to get that data-handle. And furthermore can I use that handle with WriteFile / ReadFile as I would use a handle to a COM-Port?

I did this for a terminal emulator I wrote. I pass a string to these functions which is COM1: for serial, TAPI for modem or RAS for TCPIP RAS.
I have simply copied some of my code here, work through it as if lpszPortName = "TAPI" and you should make sense of it. Once you have the port handle hPort which is returned by the Connected response of the TAPI call back function, then you can read and write as if that were a serial/file handle.
Cheers

Thanks for code posted. It is very helpful.
But I don't quite understand the logic how the "hPort" is created when receiveing a "CONNECTED" message callback.
Can you explain a little bit more?
- David

The handle to the port (hPort) is contained at the end of a variable length string (VARSTRING) that is returned from the call to LineGetID.
The fiddly thing about it is you give LineGetID a pointer to a VARSTRING called pvs and you have to fill in one of the member variables of pvs with the size allocated ( pvs->dwTotalSize ) to the variable length string.
Since I don't know how much to allocate to the VARSTRING, initially I just allocate enough memory from a sizeof(VARSTRING) result. Maybe you could just allocate a set size and not bother with the looping back, I think it is better to ask the system how much memory it wants as LineGetID may need more memory in later versions of the operating system.
Then you pass the VARSTRING with it's size stored in dwTotalSize to the function LineGetID.
The LineGetID function then fills in dwNeededSize with the size of the VARSTRING it needed to complete. That is why I loop back and re-allocate the VARSTRING to a new (bigger) size if NeededSize is greater than TotalSize.
Once the LineGetID function succeeds with a big enough VARSTRING then the Port Handle is at the end of the VARSTRING, as it is a variable length string you have to do maths to say the Port Handle is at the Address of the string PLUS the offset to the actural data wanted i.e. pvs + pvs->dwStringOffset The maths must be done with char* byte sizes and the final result is a handle, hence the casting HANDLE* on the final result.
Once the Port Handle is stored in hPort, the memory allocated to pvs is freed.
One other thing I noticed is that you can get multiple CONNECTED events, that is why I just exit the CONNECTED event if there is already a valid handle
I hope that makes sense.
Cheers
Paul

Do you have sample for the answering part?
thanks,
- David

No, sorry I have only ever written programs to dial out.

Hi,
I tried the sample code posted in this thread. It works only if I used
LineCallParams.dwBearerMode = LINEBEARERMODE_VOICE;
LineCallParams.dwMediaMode = LINEMEDIAMODE_INTERACTIVEVOICE;
combination. I got the RING message. However, the original:
LineCallParams.dwBearerMode = LINEBEARERMODE_VOICE;
LineCallParams.dwMediaMode = LINEMEDIAMODE_DATAMODEM;
didn't seem to work.
Do I miss something? (I think I have successfully killed the cprog.exe already)
Thanks,
- David

That means you are making a voice call.
So is the problem that you can not make a data(modem) type call ?
Check that you have data enabled on your SIM and also that under Settings -> Connections -> CSD Line Type it is set correctly. In the UK it is 9600 bps(v.32) and Non-tranparent, but I was told it is v110 is the states.
Let me know how you get on.

Is there any chance that somebody could compile this TAPI code as an object I could consume in C#? I have tried, but I am not even able to compile the example in C++... it's just not my world!
I would be eternally gratefull - and I bet a whole bunch of other guys who just want to quickly establish a data connection over GSM from C# (or VB?) would be also! It should have been in the phone.dll if you ask me!

compiled sample
Hey could somebody compile the tapi code for me in eVc++ or MFC ?? because i am really struggling. Plus what is toolbox.h i dont seem to have it ?? can somebody please help ??
thanks guys

This is an old post of mine, don't worry about Toolbox.h that was for the program I was writing and it has nothing to do with Tapi.
This sample code was not meant to compile, after you you won't have function VTPrint but I hope you can guess that just shows text. It was just posted to demonstate the order of functions needed to get a modem connection.
I built all this Tapi code into a DLL and I have it all presented with the eVC 3.0 build files in this post, this code will compile as presented and is just a zip of all the project files of a single sample application.

Have a look there.

during a data call when using TAPI can u make some kind of AT command request ??? and retrieve the data from that answer ??? And do i need some TAPI app on the remote unit to send the data back ?
i am trying to access a remote unit ( GPS RX and GSM TX )

I don't really understand your question that well.
But AT commands have nothing to do with TAPI, so any question saying can TAPI send an AT command for etc -- The answer must be no.
All TAPI does is gives a Handle that can be used with ReadFile and WriteFile for receiving and sending data over the modem.
So TAPI will dial a number and establish a DataModem connection, then on Connect it can provide the handle for you to direct read/write requests to. Once the link is established you just treat the handle as if it was a file handle returned from a CreateFile command.
As said earlier all this has nothing to do with AT commands.

During a data call should ic onnect via COM 1 or COM 9 if i'm using TAPI ?? Would you have any sample code i could have a look at ? I'm a bit lost at the moment .... with LineGetID too ...

you can't use COM2 or COM9 via TAPI cause COM2 and COM9 masked by RIL
about lineGetID look http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=9761

ok thanks - so if i cant use COM1 or COM9 in this case then i'm guessing that i shall pass a string (lpszPortName) just like the example on this post.
Code:
// Open the serial port.
hPort = CreateFile (lpszPortName, // Pointer to the name of the port
GENERIC_READ | GENERIC_WRITE,
// Access (read-write) mode
0, // Share mode
NULL, // Pointer to the security attribute
OPEN_EXISTING,// How to open the serial port
0, // Port attributes
NULL); // Handle to port with attribute
// to copy
But what should the string lpszPortName be initialized to ? Or am i totally wrong ?[/quote]

L"COM9:" for COM9
but not with TAPI
with TAPI you have not open any COM-ports
you must use lineGetID

Code:
//PART 7 - TIMEOUT AND DCB SETTINGS
PortDCB.BaudRate = 115200;

{

return FALSE;
}
Are the COM and Timeout settings necessary when using TAPI ? because i am getting an error message at the !setCommState function.
I use lineGetID to retrieve the Handle to the Comm then i try to use readFile but the operation is unsuccesful.
Anyhelp from out there ? thanks.

Are you sure that you call lineGetID only after connection?

Maybe you are right. I just do lineMakeCall then do lineGetId without waiting for a LINECALLSTATE_CONNECTED message.
I think its because i have troubles implementing the lineCallBackFunc() i dont understand the parameters that need to be passed to it.
Code:
void CALLBACK lineCallbackFunc(
DWORD dwDevice, DWORD dwMsg, DWORD dwCallbackInstance,
DWORD dwParam1, DWORD dwParam2, DWORD dwParam3)
{
Anyhelp for this ?? Cheers.

AT commands work on XDA but not ATD

Ok so here's the deal , i wrote a eVB program as a hyperTerminal to send AT commands as described in the forum. However my ATD commands do not work , would somebody be kind enough to show me how its done in eVC, how to open the port and send a command to it as well as retrieve the information from it.
Thanks to you all !!!!!!

I had a chat with technical ppl from my Network , and they tell me that if my ATD commands arn't working its because i need to specify CSD (circuit switch data) or GPRS. Now ofcourse i asked them how to do that ? They could not come up with an answer, so i am asking you guys. What set of AT commands would allow you to set up as CSD and not GPRS ??
Tech guys -> i wonder were they get recruited they dont even know how to use AT commands !!!!!!
Cheers for all your helps !!!!

Dial
ATDxxxx will set up CSD data call
ATDxxxx; will set up voice call.
For GPRS, you have to use a serial of CGD commands to attach to the network and set up context.

ATD"0123456789";

Would you send an ATD from your XDA2 in this format ?? it seemed to do the trick for me. However now it doesnt work anymore ... weird i think my modem' settings could be ****ed up.

No double quotes.
ATD"0123456789";
should be
ATD0123456789;
- David

Alright then thanks. However it still doesnt work. I get an OK back then a NO CARRIER message.
Would anybody know how that can be ? I'm guessing it could be hardware issues with the PDA. Maybe i'm missing some kind of setup. As in a particular AT command to tell the modem that it is ment to be doing a CSD connection or something like that.
Thanks for your help.
cheers

1)maybe modem in autoanswer mode, try ATS0=0
2)maybe some program drop your call

I managed to get it working, for some reason my application in eVB did not work but once implemented in eVC it did. Strange ? I need a bit more clarification on how to retrieve data, i have tried some trial and errors method. Cou;ld someone help me out and check this post out. Thanks.

How can I unregister to the GSM Network?

Does someone know this? I want to unregister from the GSM network, but not enter the flightmode (I still need SIM access, and it should be fast). The following code works fine on a S100 (WM2003), but the 9100 (WM5) refuses to unregister. Registering works fine on both devices.
Code:
GsmControl::GsmControl()
{
errorMsg = TEXT("No ERROR/SUCCESS message to display.");
hLineApp = NULL;
hLine = NULL;
LineInitializeExParams.dwTotalSize = sizeof(LineInitializeExParams);
LineInitializeExParams.dwNeededSize = 0;
LineInitializeExParams.dwUsedSize = 0;
LineInitializeExParams.dwOptions = LINEINITIALIZEEXOPTION_USEEVENT;
LineInitializeExParams.Handles.hEvent = NULL;
LineInitializeExParams.dwCompletionKey = 0;
dwLineAPIVersion = TAPI_CURRENT_VERSION;
GsmInitialize();
}
HRESULT GsmControl::GsmInitialize()
// Initializes TAPI interface
{
res = lineInitializeEx(&hLineApp, NULL, NULL, NULL, &dwNumDevs, &dwLineAPIVersion, &LineInitializeExParams);
res = lineOpen(hLineApp, 0, &hLine, dwLineAPIVersion, 0, 0, LINECALLPRIVILEGE_MONITOR, 0, NULL);
return res;
}
HRESULT GsmControl::GsmLineUnregister()
{
res = lineUnregister(hLine);
// res = lineSetEquipmentState(hLine, LINEEQUIPSTATE_NOTXRX); /* Edit: This is commented out, as I don't want any kind of flightmode behaviour */
return res;
}
HRESULT GsmControl::GsmLineRegister()
{
// lineSetEquipmentState(hLine, LINEEQUIPSTATE_FULL); /* Edit: This is commented out, as I don't want any kind of flightmode behaviour */
res = lineRegister(hLine, LINEREGMODE_AUTOMATIC, NULL, 0);
if ( res != 0 ) //FAILED(res) )
{
errorMsg = TEXT("ERROR GsmLineRegister - lineRegister\n");
} else {
errorMsg = TEXT("SUCCESS GsmLineRegister - lineRegister");
}
return res;
}

Whats the return value of the lineUnregister() call?

Sorry, I have a problem getting the value. It's larger than zero.
Shouldn't the following code open a message window that says "GsmLineUnregister returned X"?
Code:
LPTSTR lpText = new WCHAR[1024];
swprintf(lpText, TEXT("GsmLineUnregister returned $d"), gsmCtrl->GsmLineUnregister());
MessageBox(NULL, lpText, TEXT("Deva Daemon"), MB_ICONINFORMATION);
Edit: I'm making too many mistakes lately. I also commented out lineSetEquipmentState, as that's how I want it to work but it doesn't (on a 9100)

OK, I've got it now. lineUnregister returns '11'.
Edit: It's not stable, it seems to return quite all kinds of values larger than ten. Each value is larger than its predecessor. After a reboot, I got a 12, and then again increasing numbers (19, 25, 29, 31). It doesn't seem to make any sense.
(Will I ever manage to write a post with no edits this week?)

Create file error when open LCD

I'm try write a application to addjust LCD backlight.But it failed at the

Hi ft1860!
I don't think you can do it that way, although I never tried it. You should check out power management API:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...pplicationsToTurnSmartphoneBacklightOffOn.asp
This example is for smartphones but should work on a PPC just as well.
P.S.:
Error 161 is "The specified path is invalid" so you should check the device name (no idea what that might be).

hi levenum
Thanks your comment,but according to this document
http://windowssdk.msdn.microsoft.co...r/base/ioctl_video_set_display_brightness.asp
It say we can set the current AC and DC backlight levels by invoke DeviceIoControl with IOCTL_VIDEO_SET_DISPLAY_BRIGHTNESS parameter.
So first I must create a handle of LCD,but I cann't open it successfully,
why?

oh,I make a mistake
IOCTL_VIDEO_SET_DISPLAY_BRIGHTNESS is Win32 function.
On smart device,I should use SetPowerRequirement to set the backlight.
But when I invoke SetPowerRequirement on my Universal with D0 or D4,it say success ,but nothing happened.

maybe you have to access backlight by BKL1: device.
CreateFile(L"BKL1:", ....
or write the brightness value into registry.. that works for sure.

I'll try it.

It seem that SetPowerRequirement D0-D4 just Open or close backlight,
but what I want is adjust the backlight's brightness.

It almost work.
It works fine on my Universal,but it doesn't work on my x50v with WM5.
I should not debug it on my x50v,there is so many bugs in Dell's WM5 update.
Another question is how to get the max brightness value.On my Universal it is 10,but on my x50v it is 8;

WM6 - how to Query WLAN "connection" status

I am desperately trying to work around some unknown problem caused by our NDIS IM driver on WM6 and HTC TyTn ( TyTn at least, but most likely other devices as well ). I started some other threads regarding different facets of this problem, and no help is coming. Now I am just trying to work around it.
in short the problem is when power events happen the WLAN will never connect.
The work around is programmatically open the control panel with STControlPanel class and press the down button 1 time then the f1 key ( right dash ). This "presses connect" on the last configured access point. This works around my problem, however, I need to detect when the access point has connected. There is a "connecting" and "connected" message for the access point in this control panel dialog ( control panel # 17 ).
My Question: Is there some way to get this text "connecting" or "connected" from the control panel #17?
I have tried wzc, ndisuio, winsock, and other "non control panel" ways to detect connected state, but the IM problem fools all these methods. The only thing I have ever seen that successfully shows when the problem has occurred is the "connecting"/"connected" status in the control panel 17.
Please Help Someone.
p.s. If I can get this worked around, we sell a commercial grade ndis intermediate driver toolkit letting you easily write plugins without any of the hard driver details. We have redirectors, transparent proxy, tunnelers, virtual adapters, lots of good stuff. Also the same plugin will work on all windows desktop platforms vista - 98, WM5/6 and CE and also linux and solaris...
