How can I obtain the number from Fax Status Monitor?

Question

Hello,

I have a soft modem which doesn't support caller ID. However, while receiving a fax, I can see from the Fax Status Monitor that it can retrieve the remote ID (please check the attachment). How can I access this ID programmatically? In the Windows Fax and Scan Inbox, the caller ID and TSID fields are empty. I tried accessing the fields through FaxComEx and they are also empty. I tried to capture events using FaxComEx, but OnNewCall event handler is never called and inside OnIncomingJobAdded event, TSID and Caller ID fields are empty. Any hints? Thanks!

Francisco

Answer 1

I solved the problem myself... I need to refresh the job status during OnIncomingJobChanged and I could retrieve TSID. However, the TSID is not stored in the final incoming message, which is weird. I consider it a bug.

Answer 2

Hello FranciscoLeonG,

This can be achieved from the library OnIncomingJobChanged to obtain the TSID

For privacy data security reasons those numbers are not included in plain view.
