lineTranslateAddress

The lineTranslateAddress function translates the specified address into another format.

LONG lineTranslateAddress(
  HLINEAPP hLineApp,                       
  DWORD dwDeviceID,                        
  DWORD dwAPIVersion,                      
  LPCSTR lpszAddressIn,                    
  DWORD dwCard,                            
  DWORD dwTranslateOptions,                
  LPLINETRANSLATEOUTPUT lpTranslateOutput  
);
 

Parameters

hLineApp

The application handle returned by lineInitializeEx. If an application has not yet called the lineInitializeEx function, it can set the hLineApp parameter to NULL.

dwDeviceID

The device identifier for the line device upon which the call is intended to be dialed, so that variations in dialing procedures on different lines can be applied to the translation process.

dwAPIVersion

Indicates the highest version of TAPI supported by the application (not necessarily the value negotiated by lineNegotiateAPIVersion on some particular line device).

lpszAddressIn

A pointer to a NULL-terminated ASCII string containing the address from which the information is to be extracted for translation. Must be in either the canonical address format, or an arbitrary string of dialable digits (non-canonical). This parameter must not be NULL. If the AddressIn contains a subaddress or name field, or additional addresses separated from the first address by ASCII CR and LF characters, only the first address is translated, and the remainder of the string is returned to the application without modification.

dwCard

The credit card to be used for dialing. This parameter is only valid if the CARDOVERRIDE bit is set in dwTranslateOptions. This parameter specifies the permanent identifier of a Card entry in the [Cards] section in the registry (as obtained from lineTranslateCaps) which should be used instead of the PreferredCardID specified in the definition of the CurrentLocation. It does not cause the PreferredCardID parameter of the current Location entry in the registry to be modified; the override applies only to the current translation operation. This parameter is ignored if the CARDOVERRIDE bit is not set in dwTranslateOptions.

dwTranslateOptions

The associated operations to be performed prior to the translation of the address into a dialable string. This parameter uses the following LINETRANSLATEOPTION_ constants:

LINETRANSLATEOPTION_CARDOVERRIDE

If this bit is set, dwCard specifies the permanent identifier of a Card entry in the [Cards] section in the registry (as obtained from lineTranslateCaps) that should be used instead of the PreferredCardID specified in the definition of the CurrentLocation. It does not cause the PreferredCardID parameter of the current Location entry in the registry to be modified; the override applies only to the current translation operation. The dwCard parameter is ignored if the CARDOVERRIDE bit is not set.

LINETRANSLATEOPTION_CANCELCALLWAITING

If a Cancel Call Waiting string is defined for the location, setting this bit causes that string to be inserted at the beginning of the dialable string. This is commonly used by data modem and fax applications to prevent interruption of calls by call waiting beeps. If no Cancel Call Waiting string is defined for the location, this bit has no affect.

Note  If you have set the LINETRANSLATEOPTION_CANCELCALLWAITING bit, it is also advisable to set the LINECALLPARAMFLAGS_SECURE bit in the dwCallParamFlags member of the LINECALLPARAMS structure (passed in to lineMakeCall through the lpCallParams parameter). This prevents the line device from using dialable digits to suppress call interrupts.

LINETRANSLATEOPTION_FORCELOCAL

If the number is local but would have been translated as a long distance call (LINETRANSLATERESULT_INTOLLLIST bit set in the LINETRANSLATEOUTPUT structure), this option forces it to be translated as local. This is a temporary override of the toll list setting.

LINETRANSLATEOPTION_FORCELD

If the address could potentially have been a toll call, but would have been translated as a local call (LINETRANSLATERESULT_NOTINTOLLLIST bit set in the LINETRANSLATEOUTPUT structure), this option forces it to be translated as long distance. This is a temporary override of the toll list setting.

lpTranslateOutput

A pointer to an application-allocated memory area to contain the output of the translation operation, of type LINETRANSLATEOUTPUT. Prior to calling lineTranslateAddress, 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_INVALPOINTER, LINEERR_INCOMPATIBLEAPIVERSION, LINEERR_NODRIVER, LINEERR_INIFILECORRUPT, LINEERR_NOMEM, LINEERR_INVALADDRESS, LINEERR_OPERATIONFAILED, LINEERR_INVALAPPHANDLE, LINEERR_RESOURCEUNAVAIL, LINEERR_INVALCARD, LINEERR_STRUCTURETOOSMALL, LINEERR_INVALPARAM.
