How do you send page using TAPI? I've looking around and some people said 
it's just simple as calling the service provider paging number then send 
data. My question is how do you send data after the call is connected? They 
talked about WRITEFILE, but how do you do that in C#. I've been hearing a lot 
of people saying it's easy but I can find a sample code. Can someone help me 
where to look for or provide me sample code?

dryden357,
please clarify:
How exactly do you do the paging stuff manually at a phone?
Dial a number, wait for connect, send DTMF digits?
If so, then this can be done with TAPI and a voice modem.
Or do you have any other telephony device?

Do you prefer TAPI2 or TAPI3 ?


Regarding TAPI and .NET see KB article "841712 - Telephony Application
Programming Interface (TAPI) functionality is not supported from managed
code".
See my TAPI and TSPI FAQ:
Q: Are there any .NET wrappers for TAPI2 available ?

dryden357,

we have implemented connection to paging services through
the UCP and the TAP protocols.
You need to establish a data connection with TAPI and then
call lineGetID("comm/datamodem") to get a handle to an
overlapped IO structure with which you can use readfile
and writefile.

I wouldn't recommend C# for this!

You should have a look at the TapiComm sample which was
part of earlier Platform SDKs and can now be found on
the www.tapi.info website.

Thanks for the quick response! 
That's what I'm trying to do ( Dial a number, wait for connect, send DTMF 
digits?). I got Julmar's example and I can connect but I dont know how to 
send DTMF digits. I got something like this from the web
byte[] id = 
(byte[])((ITLegacyCallMediaControl2)oITBasicCallControl).GetIDAsVariant("comm/datamodem");
but I dont know how to use it. I'm using TAPI3. Thanks again for helping me 
on this.

Thanks! I have an application already built on C# and paging is just a small 
part of my application, that's why I'm trying to use C#. Is calling 
lineGetID("comm/datamodem") the same as 
((ITLegacyCallMediaControl2)oITBasicCallControl).GetIDAsVariant("comm/datamodem") in C#? How would you use readfile and writefile?

Thanks and I really appreaciate your help on this.

You don't need to ::GetID for "comm/datamodem" if you only want to send DTMF
digits.

This is simply done by ITLegacyCallMediaControl::GenerateDigits()

Try it with TAPI Browser TB3x before starting to code anything yourself.

Dryden,

you have to use overlapped I/O for doing serial communication and
this definetly can't be done through pure managed code. It might be
possible to do this with C# using pinvoke and others techniques to
call the Windows API and allocate memory, but I wouldn't recommend
it. Furthermore you will probably run into even more trouble since
TAPI3 is not supported from .NET.
I would highly recommend creating a COM component with C++ and using
this COM component from your C# application!

How do I use the TAPI Browser? I was able to initialize it but every methods 
I tried to call cannot be called on the object. I know there are different 
ways to create a call in TAPI, I just use this to connect.

oITBasicCallControl = ln.CreateCall(callNumber.Text, 
TapiConstants.LINEADDRESSTYPE_PHONENUMBER, 
TapiConstants.TAPIMEDIATYPE_DATAMODEM | TapiConstants.TAPIMEDIATYPE_AUDIO);
                        
oITBasicCallControl.SetQOS(TapiConstants.TAPIMEDIATYPE_DATAMODEM | 
TapiConstants.TAPIMEDIATYPE_AUDIO, QOS_SERVICE_LEVEL.QSL_BEST_EFFORT);
 oITBasicCallControl.Connect(false);

 I clicked ITBasicCallControl::connect in the browser but this is where i 
get "Method could not be called on this object". How do I get from here to 
using ITLegacyCallMediaControl::GenerateDigits()? Are there any step by step 
tutorial in using the TAPI Browser? Thanks!

Did you ::CreateCall() before trying to ::Connect().

Here is a TB3x log for making a call on the 1st address (without registering
for call notifications):

ITTAPI.CreateInstance ITTAPI_1

returned hr = 0x00000000

ITTAPI_1.Initialize returned hr = 0x00000000

ITTAPI_1.get_Addresses returned hr = 0x00000000

VARIANT* pVariant = ITCollection_1

ITCollection_1.get_Item

long Index : 1 (0x00000001)

returned hr = 0x00000000

VARIANT* pVariant = ITAddress_1

ITAddress_1.CreateCall

BSTR pDestAddress : 100

long lAddressType : 1 (0x00000001)

long lMediaTypes : 8 (0x00000008)

returned hr = 0x00000000

ITBasicCallControl** ppCall = ITBasicCallControl_1

ITBasicCallControl_1.Connect

VARIANT_BOOL fSync : 0

returned hr = 0x00000000

I got to the ITLegacyCallMediaControl::GenerateDigits() by casting my 
ITBasicCallControl. I've been looking ot the definition of the method by I 
cant find any explanation what are the two data([BSTR pDigits,TAPI_DIGITMODE 
DigitMode) that I will be passing to the GenerateDigits() method. How can I 
send an alphanumeric message with this method?

Thanks!

dryden357,
you can only send DTMF digits with ::GenerateDigits().
DTMF digits are 0..9,*,#,A,B,C,D.
pDigits is a pointer to a string of type BSTR. This string contains the DTMF
digits.
TAPI_DIGITMODE  DigitMode is usually set to LINEDIGITMODE_DTMF.

Dryden,

first thing you should do it to find out which protocol your
paging provider uses. Common protocols are TAP and UCP.
Some operators offer a line where you can use DTMF but
only for numeric messages.

When it comes to TAP and UCP you will need to use the
serial communications method as I already pointed out in
an earlier post!
