Hi,

I'm trying to develop an application for monitoring incoming telephone
calls. I have caller ID on my telephone line and would the application
to make use of that. For example, I would it to monitor incoming calls
when I'm not home and save numbers in a file/database for later viewing.
Please could someone give me an idea as to what I need to do to take
advantage of the Caller ID system via controls available in Visual Basic
(telephony controls perhaps?). I've seen this in a number of offices and
thought it must somehow be possible to implement. If someone could give
me a push, I'd be most grateful. Thank you.

regards,

Emily
 
OK, that last response was pricless!

I don't know much about telephony, but a quick search of the MSDN revealed
the TAPI (Telephony API) and I found one entry that may be what you're
looking for.

Look up the lineGetCallInfo() function and the LINECALLINFO structure. It
seems that it returns everything you could ever want to know about the call,
including the CallerID Name and Number.


HTH,
Rocky
