lineGetDevCaps

The lineGetDevCaps function queries a specified line device to determine its telephony capabilities. The returned information is valid for all addresses on the line device.

LONG lineGetDevCaps(
  HLINEAPP hLineApp,           
  DWORD dwDeviceID,            
  DWORD dwAPIVersion,          
  DWORD dwExtVersion,          
  LPLINEDEVCAPS lpLineDevCaps  
);
 

Parameters

hLineApp

The handle to the application's registration with TAPI.

dwDeviceID

The line device to be queried.

dwAPIVersion

The version number of the Telephony API to be used. The high-order word contains the major version number; the low-order word contains the minor version number. This number is obtained by lineNegotiateAPIVersion.

dwExtVersion

The version number of the service provider-specific extensions to be used. This number is obtained by lineNegotiateExtVersion. It can be left zero if no device-specific extensions are to be used. Otherwise, the high-order word contains the major version number; the low-order word contains the minor version number.

lpLineDevCaps

A pointer to a variably sized structure of type LINEDEVCAPS. Upon successful completion of the request, this structure is filled with line device capabilities information. Prior to calling lineGetDevCaps, the application should set the dwTotalSize member of this structure to indicate the amount of memory available to TAPI for returning information.

Return Values

Returns zero if the request succeeds or a negative error number if an error occurs. Possible return values are:

LINEERR_BADDEVICEID, LINEERR_NOMEM, LINEERR_INCOMPATIBLEAPIVERSION, LINEERR_OPERATIONFAILED, LINEERR_INCOMPATIBLEEXTVERSION, LINEERR_RESOURCEUNAVAIL, LINEERR_INVALAPPHANDLE, LINEERR_STRUCTURETOOSMALL, LINEERR_INVALPOINTER, LINEERR_UNINITIALIZED, LINEERR_NODRIVER, LINEERR_OPERATIONUNAVAIL, LINEERR_NODEVICE.

Remarks

Before using lineGetDevCaps, the application must negotiate the API version number to use, and, if desired, the extension version to use.

The API and extension version numbers are those under which TAPI and the service provider must operate. If version ranges do not overlap, the application, API, or service-provider versions are incompatible and an error is returned.

One of the members in the LINEDEVCAPS structure returned by this function contains the number of addresses assigned to the specified line device. The actual address identifiers used to reference individual addresses vary from zero to one less than the returned number. The capabilities of each address can be different. Use lineGetAddressCaps for each available <dwDeviceID, dwAddressID> combination to determine the exact capabilities of each address.
