ITPhone::Open method (tapi3if.h)

  • Article

The Open method opens this phone device. The phone device remains open until the application calls ITPhone::Close or until TAPI is shut down.

This method is analogous to the TAPI 2.x phoneOpen function; please see the TAPI 2.x documentation for more information.

Syntax

HRESULT Open(
  [in] PHONE_PRIVILEGE Privilege
);

Parameters

[in] Privilege

The PHONE_PRIVILEGE descriptor for the application's privilege status with respect to the phone device.

Return value

If this method succeeds, it returns S_OK. Otherwise, it returns an HRESULT error code.

Remarks

While a phone is open, the application receives events pertaining to the phone.

Also, a phone must be open with owner privilege for the application to set the state of the phone. Querying the state of the phone can typically be done even if the phone is not open; for more details, see the individual methods of the ITPhone interface.
