The line device is in use and cannot currently be configured, allow a party to be added, allow a call to be answered, allow a call to be placed, or allow a call to be transferred.
LINEERR_INVALADDRESS
A specified address is either invalid or not allowed. If invalid, the address contains invalid characters or digits, or the destination address contains dialing control characters (W, @, $, or ?) that are not supported by the service provider. If not allowed, the specified address is either not assigned to the specified line or is not valid for address redirection.

LINEERR_INVALLINESTATE
The device configuration may not be changed in the current line state. The line may be in use by another application or a dwLineStates parameter contains one or more bits that are not LINEDEVSTATE_ constants. The LINEERR_INVALLINESTATE value can also indicate that the device is DISCONNECTED or OUTOFSERVICE. These states are indicated by setting the bits corresponding to the LINEDEVSTATUSFLAGS_CONNECTED and LINEDEVSTATUSFLAGS_INSERVICE values to 0 in the dwDevStatusFlags member of the LINEDEVSTATUS structure returned by the lineGetLineDevStatus function.

LINEERR_INVALMEDIALIST
The specified media list is invalid.
LINEERR_INVALMEDIAMODE

Timeouts are not supported or the values of either or both of the parameters dwFirstDigitTimeout or dwInterDigitTimeout fall outside the valid range specified by the call's line-device capabilities.
LINEERR_INVALTONE

LINEERR_NOCONFERENCE
The specified call is not a conference call handle or a participant call.
LINEERR_NODEVICE
The specified device identifier, which was previously valid, is no longer accepted because the associated device has been removed from the system since TAPI was last initialized. Alternately, the line device has no associated device for the given device class.
LINEERR_NODRIVER
Either tapiaddr.dll could not be located or the telephone service provider for the specified device found that one of its components is missing or corrupt in a way that was not detected at initialization time. The user should be advised to use the Telephony Control Panel to correct the problem.
LINEERR_NOMEM
Insufficient memory to perform the operation, or unable to lock memory.
LINEERR_NOMULTIPLEINSTANCE
A telephony service provider which does not support multiple instances is listed more than once in the [Providers] section in the registry. The application should advise the user to use the Telephony Control Panel to remove the duplicated driver.
LINEERR_NOREQUEST
There currently is no request pending of the indicated mode, or the application is no longer the highest-priority application for the specified request mode.
LINEERR_NOTOWNER
The application does not have owner privilege to the specified call.
LINEERR_NOTREGISTERED
The application is not registered as a request recipient for the indicated request mode.
LINEERR_OPERATIONFAILED
The operation failed for an unspecified or unknown reason.
LINEERR_OPERATIONUNAVAIL
The operation is not available, such as for the given device or specified line.
LINEERR_RATEUNAVAIL
The service provider currently does not have enough bandwidth available for the specified rate.
LINEERR_REINIT
If TAPI reinitialization has been requested, for example as a result of adding or removing a telephony service provider, then lineInitialize, lineInitializeEx, or lineOpen requests are rejected with this error until the last application shuts down its usage of the API (using lineShutdown), at which time the new configuration becomes effective and applications are once again permitted to call lineInitialize or lineInitializeEx.
LINEERR_RESOURCEUNAVAIL
Insufficient resources to complete the operation. For example, a line cannot be opened due to a dynamic resource overcommitment.
LINEERR_STRUCTURETOOSMALL
The dwTotalSize member indicates insufficient space to contain the fixed portion of the specified structure.
LINEERR_TARGETNOTFOUND
A target for the call handoff was not found. This can occur if the named application did not open the same line with the LINECALLPRIVILEGE_OWNER bit in the dwPrivileges parameter of lineOpen. Or, in the case of media-mode handoff, no application has opened the same line with the LINECALLPRIVILEGE_OWNER bit in the dwPrivileges parameter of lineOpen and with the media mode specified in the dwMediaMode parameter having been specified in the dwMediaModes parameter of lineOpen.
LINEERR_TARGETSELF
The application invoking this operation is the target of the indirect handoff. That is, TAPI has determined that the calling application is also the highest priority application for the given media mode.
LINEERR_UNINITIALIZED
The operation was invoked before any application called lineInitialize , lineInitializeEx.
LINEERR_USERUSERINFOTOOBIG
The string containing user-user information exceeds the maximum number of bytes specified in the dwUUIAcceptSize, dwUUIAnswerSize, dwUUIDropSize, dwUUIMakeCallSize, or dwUUISendUserUserInfoSize member of LINEDEVCAPS, or the string containing user-user information is too long.

The values 0xC0000000 through 0xFFFFFFFF are available for device-specific extensions. The values 0x80000000 through 0xBFFFFFFF are reserved, while 0x00000000 through 0x7FFFFFFF are used as request identifiers.

If an application gets an error return that it does not specifically handle (such as an error defined by a device-specific extension), it should treat the error as a LINEERR_OPERATIONFAILED (for an unspecified reason).
