TSPI_lineRedirect

The TSPI_lineRedirect function redirects the specified offering call to the specified destination address.

LONG TSPIAPI TSPI_lineRedirect(
  DRV_REQUESTID dwRequestID,  
  HDRVCALL hdCall,          
  LPCWSTR lpszDestAddress,  
  DWORD dwCountryCode       
);

Parameters

dwRequestID

The identifier of the asynchronous request.

hdCall

The handle to the call to be redirected. The call state of hdCall can be offering.

lpszDestAddress

Pointer to a null-terminated Unicode string that specifies the destination address. This follows the standard link format.

dwCountryCode

The country code of the party the call is redirected to. If a value of 0 is specified, a default is used by the implementation. This parameter is not validated by TAPI when this function is called.

Return Values

Returns dwRequestID, or an error number if an error occurs. The lResult actual parameter of the corresponding ASYNC_COMPLETION is zero if the function succeeds, or an error number if an error occurs. Possible return values are as follows:

LINEERR_INVALCALLHANDLE, LINEERR_NOMEM, LINEERR_INVALCALLSTATE, LINEERR_OPERATIONUNAVAIL, LINEERR_INVALCOUNTRYCODE, LINEERR_OPERATIONFAILED, LINEERR_INVALADDRESS, LINEERR_RESOURCEUNAVAIL.

Remarks

The service provider does not redirect the call if it returns LINEERR_INVALADDRESS.

When this function is invoked, the service provider deflects the offering call to another address without first answering the call. Call redirect differs from call forwarding in that call forwarding is performed by the switch without the involvement of the called station; redirection can be done on a call-by-call basis by a client application, for example driven by caller ID information. It differs from call transfer in that transferring a call requires that the call first be answered.

After a call is successfully redirected, the call typically transitions to idle. The service provider indicates the new state using a LINE_CALLSTATE message.

  Windows 95/98: Requires Windows 95 or later.
