etDeviceInfo Sample Program

TeleTools

The etDeviceInfo sample application allows you to test your system’s telephony devices to see what basic features they support. All telephony devices on the system are tested against the device-type selected at the top of the user interface ("voice" is selected in the example to the left). Information on what the device supports is then provided in the log box below.

How this Sample Program Works

When one of the radio buttons is clicked the FillText routine is called.

FillText loops through all of the TAPI line devices available on the computer.  Using the bitmapped flags found in many of the TeleTools properties this routine searches for devices that match the selected type.

If Voice is the selected type of device the FillText calls the FillVoiceDevices routine.  This routine checks to see if the TAPI line device has associated TAPI Phone, wave audio play and wave audio record devices.  If any of these devices are found then their information is also displayed.

Bitmapped Flags

Microsoft's Windows API's utilizes bitmapped flags in order to store a lot of information in a small amount of memory.  For example an integer is made up of 4 bytes, each byte is 8 bits.  Each bit my be turned on or off, one or zero.  This allows one integer to store as many as 32 Boolean values!

For example the property etLine1.DeviceCapabilitiesBearerModes may have the value decimal 73 which is hex 49 and binary 01001001.  The binary representation of the number indicates that 3 flags are turned on,  These are decimal 1, 8, and 64 which are hex 1, 8 and 40.   These values are defined as constants in the etTTConst file supplied with TeleTools:

  Global Const LINEBEARERMODE_VOICE = &H1
  Global Const LINEBEARERMODE_SPEECH = &H2
  Global Const LINEBEARERMODE_MULTIUSE = &H4
  Global Const LINEBEARERMODE_DATA = &H8
  Global Const LINEBEARERMODE_ALTSPEECHDATA = &H10
  Global Const LINEBEARERMODE_NONCALLSIGNALING = &H20
  Global Const LINEBEARERMODE_PASSTHROUGH = &H40
  Global Const LINEBEARERMODE_RESTRICTEDDATA = &H80 'TAPI v2.0

To check to see if a device supports voice calls you could use the following Visual Basic "IF" statement:

  If (etLine1.DeviceCapabilitiesBearerModes And LINEBEARERMODE_DATA) = _
      LINEBEARERMODE_DATA then
    ' This device supports voice
  Else
    'This device does not support voice
  End If

or 

  If (etLine1.DeviceCapabilitiesBearerModes And LINEBEARERMODE_DATA) <> 0 then
    ' This device supports voice
  Else
    'This device does not support voice
  End If
