Phone application cprog.exe

Hi,
I want some information about default phone application cprog.exe.
I want to know how does it communicate with outlook and other application.
I guess most probably it should be via message posting.
But, unfortunately wheni tested the same with spy running on cprog and then i called a contact from outlook contacts.
I see many messages posted to cprog but I found no message or Parameter(WPARAM/LPARAM) to cprog that contains the number to call.
can anyone help me out to get information how to fetch that number? the number passed to phone/cprog.exe from contact.
The same thing i need for sddialer.exe that after matching the sound tag, how it informs cprog that which number to call?
Please help! I am looking these since long...

Good Luck
Best of luck trying to find any doco on cprog (if you do, please post back here!).
If you have a look at this thread you may find what you are looking for (at least how to initiate a call from the PC is there):

Look for LINE_REQUEST message
There a two ways, that an application can make a call; using tapiRequestMakeCall or lineMakeCall. tapiRequestMakeCall is by far the simplest to use. Examples of their use can be found in two sample cellcore progams available from microsoft, CeDialer, and HelloTapi. You could try this and see which produces messages simular to outlook. I'll guess that it's HelloTapi (tapiRequestMakeCall).
When an application uses tapiRequestMakeCall a LINE_REQUEST message is sent to the call-control application. This application must then call lineGetRequest to get information on the request. It then must execute the request.
See the remarks on the lineRegisterRequestRecipient page at microsoft
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms736043.aspx

I wish there was a similar Hello USSD example for the lineSendUSSD API. There's very little information on it... No one seems to be able to capture the responses past the first call.

oops missed part of your question
After the call app places the call, it should get a series of messages, mostly LINE_CALLINFO and LINE_CALLSTATE. The messages contain a handle for the call. Once you have the call handle you should be use the lineGetCallInfo and lineGetCallState functions to get info about the call. I think lineGetCallInfo includes the number that was called. The callstate typically goes through dialling, progressing, and then connected. I believe your not supposed to use the call handle until after a LINE_REPLY message is sent, saying the call didn't fail. If there are problems perhaps you should wait a short time.
To find out more about the messages, you could play with the CeDialer sample. It's linecallbackfunc looks at the messages, it would be easy to put in a few logging statements to see what's in each message. It think CeDialer will only get messages for inbound calls, and calls that it originated. (not ones by cprog.) Although you should check to be sure that I'm correct.
Good luck! Please, let us know whatever you might find out.

Hi,
I will look into this and post reply according As soon as possible.
Thanks

Where i can find the original cprog.exe to install in my non phone PDA? it's the dialer for voip.
Many thanks

Is it possible to trigger based on incoming caller ID

I am looking for an app that lets me do stuff when certain incoming numbers (either a simple editable list or a selection of contacts) call..... essentially I want the phone to answer and then hang up immediately so the numbers don't get my voicemail, they just get rejected.
At the moment I have the contacts set with a silent ringtone so I don't get disturbed, but sometimes I get voicemails from them and I want to prevent these.
I have had a look at Mortscript and can find how to handle incoming calls, just not how to handle incoming calls from specific contacts in specific ways.
Any help appreciated

go to www.youmail.com
i like this free service and it handles caller id calls more efficiantly than any software you can purchase.

Thanks for the link, unfortunately it's US only and I'm in the UK.

CallFirewall does exactly that what you need.

Try this:
http://www.mobiion.com/magicall.html
It does everything you asked, and a whole lot more.

+1 for magicall... it rocks

Thanks for the links guys, downloading them both now

Call Firewall didn't quite do the trick as I could only get it to go to voicemail, but Magicall does 100% what I want, plus more, so I promptly coughed up the cash for it

Somewhere else on the forum there's a program what lets you make your own interface in html with js/flash. you can use that and make javascript countdown for x seconds and than let it pick up and hang up... or whatever you want not the best solution but it still is a solution

Visual voicemail

Youmail has a new beta for visual voicemail with the caller id picture and all.
the also have a beta for voicemail transcription which personally i like better than visual voicemail (when it is accurate ) Its send you a text message after the voivemail is received and transcribed to text.
Its got alot more cool features just check them out on the website.... just thought you guys might be interested.
Its all free check it out at WWW.YOUMAIL.COM

seems your provider will still charge u for fowarding calls

at&t hasn't charged me for forwarding
I've been using YouMail for quite a while and am very pleased with it. It will suck hard when they come out of beta. I still haven't recovered completely from losing just about all of my Jott functionality.
The only thing I'd like is to be able to assign a button, either soft or hardware, to take me right to YouMail, instead of having to open a browser first. Anyone that can clue me in?

Ya, they charge you for the minutes you are connected to voicemail (through forwarding) but with all of its functionality i think it is worth it

I think you could Create a .lnk file containg the browser and then i'm sure you could include a browser command (url link) to direct you to the website automatically. you would then just have to create a registry string for it and place it in the corresponding folder......
I'll do some looking around and see what i can find.
for now though you could just set it as your homepage and then when you open the browser it is already there

Thanks for responding,
It stays at the top of my favorites page in SPB MS, so its like 4 taps to get to it from the Now screen.
Not terrible at all, but I've always wanted a way to get to IE favorites directly from the Today screen, or have them available the same way the MRU programs are. I appreciate you looking into it.

I left youmail

I used youmail for a while, but I was annoyed at a couple things, mostly that I have to download the email on my phone and then download the file, but still a good service.
I found the service above which is close to the same, except it actually is a .cab and the app is launched by the incoming txt and the messages are in a single screen. You can set to download automatically, and that way the app comes up and you can click directly to listen, basically 1 click because it comes up as a notification, like a missed call notification. Pretty cool.
They just came out with a version for the G1 Android that you can see the review on the mobility link, and the others are the main company and the top one is the voicemail. It's pretty easy to set up, and you can try and go back to youmail if it doesn't fit your needs. Also, you can change your greeting on this service, just call the number from your handset once you're set up online.

looks cool but phone fusion says it isn't free......
fusion voicemail plus says it is though?
which one are you using

Free Version
http://www.fusionvoicemailplus.com/
This one is free. I started trying it this morning and I'm pretty happy with it. Your minutes are used, just like on youmail.

What I like about youmail is I can forward my email right to text and I never have to listen to VM. Looks like with phone fusion I only get caller ID info not the messages in the text. Is that right?
-McMex

ya.... but it gives you the "iphone" visual voicemail experience
just a little different setup

No Txt I know of
Correct McMex,
Youmail you get txt to read, but not in Fusion, at least not for free, and I didn't really review any other services from them . Txt just hasn't worked well for me on Youmail because it all looks jarbled, if it does for you that's great. Just another option to look at.

Youmail is working better these days. I have tried many of these services, and youmail is the cheapest, but I wouldnt say the best.

Thanks yes right now with youmail I get an email sent then forward the email and there is a lot of junk around the message in the text. I still prefer that to listening to VM. Thanks for the info guys.
-McMex

i was grandfathered in from the beta so i get the text for free so its not a bad deal for me

I just started using YouMail as it doesn't require me to have an unlimited txt plan. Does Fusion require sms? I have it, but only a 200/month plan. I'm not thrilled about the idea of upgrading my sms plan just for a better voicemail.

Reject Call With Text Message

Does anyone know how to get this to work?
It can be found in Start - Settings - Phone - Advanced Tab
Mine is ticked but doesn't seem to do anything when I choose Ignore to an incoming call (i.e. the caller is not sent a text message saying the above)
Any ideas

I have wondered about this for a long time, but haven't come up with anything to make it work, sorry.
I usually disable it sooner or later, just in case.

I have unlimited text messages so charges isn't an issue for me.
All I can find is the option to send a text message when a call comes through, but nothing to automatically send a text message on an ignored call.

Hm, I think it's like this. Someone is calling you and if you wan't to ignore/reject the call, put your phone upside down on a table(with screen to the table), the call will be automatically ignored and I think THEN the message will be sent try it, not sure

I think, I have figured it out.
On an incoming call, you have the option to click on "Send text" in the lower left corner. The call is then rejected and you can compose an SMS to send to the caller.

I use an app called SMS Minder to do this myself, and I'm quite pleased with the results. You can have it respond to all missed calls/texts (select BLACKLIST & leave the field blank) or only to missed calls from certain numbers (select WHITELIST & add the numbers you want to respond to).
I've been using it for several months and it makes my work so much easier. I'm a cabdriver, and when a call comes in & doesn't get answered for whatever reason SMS Minder sends a message that says "I can't talk now, please text me".
For the longest time I didn't really trust Texting that much, but it's become an integral part of my work now. So much easier to read&reply to an SMS (10 to 15 seconds tops) than it is to dial voicemail, listen through the prompts & recital of the phonenumber, then listen to the message...and finally after all of THAT is done, then return the person's call. Texting is just that much easier.
Especially if I use a program like this to automate my responses...and a program on my desktop to send other text messages just like they were an email (it's got an interface similar to Outlook). I plug the phone into the computer & tuck it away...then any interaction I have with the phone is done by using Jeyo Mobile Companion (SMS interface with additional cool features) and/or MyMobiler (fully manipulable screen-shot of the phone's screen) on my desktop.
Of all the apps I've tried and/or discarded, these three have become almost indispensable to my work.

Use QSMS To Buddy:FullFeatured Free app from android market
Posted Android app on non Android forum by mistake. Sorry!

i believe, given the age of this thread, that it is about the native windows mobile feature to reject calls with an sms and there was no need to bump the thread with an app for another operating system. also, on android, depending on your phone and rom, this feature might also be pre-installed and available from stock, w/o the need for a 3rd party app.

Per call/contact caller ID settings

Is there a way, other than adding *31# infront of the stored number, to enable caller ID per contact in my 'people' tab?
My number is blocked by default (and I'd like to keep it that way for a variety of reasons) but would like to enable the ID when calling my wife and select other people. The workaround so far has been to add the code above infront of the number but then it seems SMS messages are not going thru which is less than ideal (I could add a separate number entry for messages I guess, but still).
Having looked at the Phone settings it seems I'm able to select "Contacts only" which in my mind (as a dev) means someone has already written a app (or simply extended the current Contact app) to allow for this on a per-contact basis.
Any ideas?

You can try this MagiCall
http://www.mobiion.com/

I was also looking for this.
The MagiCall features don't mention the option to set caller id per contact.
@emigrating: Did you fix it another way?
Anyone else knows a good solution?

+1 same interrest same issue.
But as time goes on you can use the following workaround: or let's say this is the way I manage it......
If you use the traditional SMS Mode and hit reply sms goes through.
This doesn't work as mentioned in Konversation Mode.
It's uncomfortable because the konversation mode is the better client...but the only way you can send sms to someone stored as *31# contact.
It seems as if the konversation mode always refers to the number stored in your contact, whereas the traditional mode refers to the number which comes with the sms.
I hope someone can fix this, or has a better workaround, I'll be interested to!!!

use MagiCall. Set up a rule: for your wife's phone #, prepend *31#, then dial.
I use it for long distance calls. For all phone # not in my home area code, prepend 1511 (chaper long distance call provider), then dial. A small problem with this: need to disable this rule when roaming in another country.
Give it a try, it is good.

I've downloaded the trial version and set up a rule for Outlook categories, just to test. Change the dialed number to #31#{phone}. When I call someone in the particular category, the MagiCall icon appears in the topbar and my device freezes....
No big problem, I restarted my device to try again.
The same thing happens. Again I take out the battery and restart the phone.
At that point the device became terrible slow somehow.
With a little patience I succeeded uninstalling the app.
Restarting again.
Fortunately, my phome is normal speed again.
Sorry, I'm not a big fan of MagiCall at this moment...
----
Edit: Just trying again, because I can't find a real alternative.
The problem seems to occur when I choose Outlook Category as filter.
Just bad luck for me by choosing that option for my first try.
The program seems to respond on other conditions.
It could be my phone only, otherwise maybe I will contact Mobiion about this..
Edit2: The problem was known and was fixed in a newer version.
So it seems to work after all
