Syntax

void OnContactPhoneChange(
  [in] LONG        hr,
  [in] IDispatch   *pContact,
  [in] MPHONE_TYPE PhoneType,
       BSTR        bstrNumber
);

Parameters

hr [in]

Success or error code as a LONG.

An error result for hr might result in all other event parameters being meaningless, NULL, or otherwise invalid. Always check for a successful hr before attempting to use the other event parameters.

pContact [in]

Pointer to a IDispatch interface on the MessengerContact object that corresponds to the contact. Using this pointer, clients can now code to its IMessengerContact interface.

A MessengerContact object that corresponds to the contact.

PhoneType [in]

A value in the MPHONE_TYPE enumeration.

bstrNumber

A BSTR that contains the string of the phone number.

Return value

This event does not return a value.

Remarks

Due to user input, the bstrNumber string might or might not contain punctuation. In general, punctuation is useful for display in the UI, but not for handling by APIs that handle telephony. Clients can strip or parse punctuation. However, punctuation cannot be added if none has been preserved because there are many possible punctuation conventions in various locales.

To be used when writing custom ::Invoke methods to handle these events.
