LINECARDENTRY structure (tapi.h)

The LINECARDENTRY structure describes a calling card. The LINETRANSLATECAPS structure can contain an array of LINECARDENTRY structures.

Syntax

typedef struct linecardentry_tag {
  DWORD dwPermanentCardID;
  DWORD dwCardNameSize;
  DWORD dwCardNameOffset;
  DWORD dwCardNumberDigits;
  DWORD dwSameAreaRuleSize;
  DWORD dwSameAreaRuleOffset;
  DWORD dwLongDistanceRuleSize;
  DWORD dwLongDistanceRuleOffset;
  DWORD dwInternationalRuleSize;
  DWORD dwInternationalRuleOffset;
  DWORD dwOptions;
} LINECARDENTRY, *LPLINECARDENTRY;

Members

dwPermanentCardID

Permanent identifier that identifies the card.

dwCardNameSize

Size of the card name string including null terminator, in bytes.

dwCardNameOffset

Offset from the beginning of the structure to a null-terminated string that describes the card in a user-friendly manner. The size of the field is specified by dwCardNameSize.

dwCardNumberDigits

Number of digits in the existing card number. The card number itself is not returned for security reasons (it is stored in scrambled form by TAPI). The application can use this to insert filler bytes into a text control in "password" mode to show that a number exists.

dwSameAreaRuleSize

Size of the same-area dialing rule including the null terminator, in bytes.

dwSameAreaRuleOffset

Offset from the beginning of the LINETRANSLATECAPS structure to the dialing rule defined for calls to numbers in the same area code. The rule is a null-terminated string. The size of the field is specified by dwSameAreaRuleSize.

dwLongDistanceRuleSize

Size of the long distance dialing rule including the null terminator, in bytes.

dwLongDistanceRuleOffset

Offset from the beginning of the structure to the dialing rule defined for calls to numbers in the other areas in the same country/region. The rule is a null-terminated string. The size of the field is specified by dwLongDistanceRuleSize.

dwInternationalRuleSize

Size of the international dialing rule including the null terminator, in bytes.

dwInternationalRuleOffset

Offset from the beginning of the structure to the dialing rule defined for calls to numbers in other countries/regions. The rule is a null-terminated string. The size of the field is specified by dwInternationalRuleSize.

dwOptions

Indicates other settings associated with this calling card, using the LINECARDOPTION_ Constants.

Remarks

Older applications are compiled without knowledge of these new fields, and using a SIZEOF(LINECARDENTRY) smaller than the new size. Because this is an array in the variable portion of a LINETRANSLATECAPS structure, it is imperative that older applications receive LINECARDENTRY structures in the format they previously expected, or they are not able to index properly through the array. The application passes in a dwAPIVersion parameter with the lineGetTranslateCaps function, which can be used for guidance by TAPI in handling this situation. The lineGetTranslateCaps function should use the LINECARDENTRY fields and size that match the indicated API version, when building the LINETRANSLATECAPS structure to be returned to the application.

This structure may not be extended.
