FaxTiff object

A FaxTiff object represents a Tagged Image File Format Class F (TIFF Class F) file that the fax service has transmitted or received. The fax service embeds custom Tagged Image File Format (TIFF) tags in the file to store information about the fax transmission.

You do not need to be familiar with the structure of a TIFF file to access the attributes of a FaxTiff object. This object provides a convenient alternative to manually parsing the TIFF data in a fax file. The FaxTiff object has the following properties:

  • A property to return or set the name of the fax file described by the FaxTiff object.
  • Properties to return other attributes of the FaxTiff object, such as device and station identifiers, the fax number, and sender and recipient names.

Note

A fax client application must set the Image property before retrieving another property for a FaxTiff object.

Remarks

When to Implement

You should not implement this class. The Microsoft standard implementation provides complete functionality. You can use the Microsoft Visual Basic Object Browser to view the FaxTiff object's type library information in Visual Basic syntax.

To create a FaxTiff object, call the Visual Basic CreateObject function as illustrated in the following sample:

Dim FaxTiff as Object
Set FaxTiff = CreateObject("FaxTiff.FaxTiff")
