Yes, it should be possible, the same as in VB. But, as to
how, it's something I've never done.

Also, how would the caller's phone number get passed?

You might want to check the VB sites
(http://vbnet.mvps.org) for more info. I'd be interested

Thanks for the info and I'm sure that AddressOf function will need to be used but what I wanted to know was how to create the lCallbackInstance parameter to pass to the RegisterCallNotifications method. The documentation that I have read on the subject seems to assume that you are going to be using C++ rather than VB.

Here is a short explicit example, using what I posted previously:

lCallbackInstance = GetFuncPtr(AddressOf fOFNHookProcC)
