lineCreateAgentA function (tapi.h)

The lineCreateAgent function creates a new Agent object. It generates a LINE_PROXYREQUEST message to be sent to a registered proxy function handler, referencing a LINEPROXYREQUEST structure of type LINEPROXYREQUEST_CREATEAGENT.

Syntax

LONG lineCreateAgentA(
  HLINE    hLine,
  LPCSTR   lpszAgentID,
  LPCSTR   lpszAgentPIN,
  LPHAGENT lphAgent
);

Parameters

hLine

Handle to the line device.

lpszAgentID

Pointer to a null-terminated Unicode string containing the agent identifier. Used when working with legacy ACD systems. With an ACD system that uses the operating system's user login for authentication, lpszAgentID is set to NULL.

lpszAgentPIN

Pointer to a null-terminated Unicode string containing the agent PIN or password. Used when working with legacy ACD systems. With an ACD system that uses the operating system's user login for authentication, lpszAgentPIN is set to NULL.

lphAgent

Handle to the created agent, returned by the ACD proxy. It is the responsibility of the agent handler proxy application to generate and maintain uniqueness of this identifier.

Return value

Returns a request identifier if the asynchronous operation starts; otherwise, the function returns one of the following error values:

LINEERR_INVALLINEHANDLE, LINEERR_INVALPARAM, LINEERR_NOMEM, LINEERR_OPERATIONFAILED, LINEERR_OPERATIONUNAVAIL, LINEERR_RESOURCEUNAVAIL, LINEERR_UNINITIALIZED.

Remarks

Note

The tapi.h header defines lineCreateAgent as an alias which automatically selects the ANSI or Unicode version of this function based on the definition of the UNICODE preprocessor constant. Mixing usage of the encoding-neutral alias with code that not encoding-neutral can lead to mismatches that result in compilation or runtime errors. For more information, see Conventions for Function Prototypes.
