Send Feedback

This function redirects the specified offering call to the specified destination address.

LONG WINAPI lineRedirect(HCALL hCall,LPCSTR lpszDestAddress,DWORD dwCountryCode);

Parameters

  • hCall
    Handle to the call to be redirected. The application must be an owner of the call. The call state of hCall must be offering.
  • lpszDestAddress
    Pointer to the destination address. This follows the standard dialable number format.
  • dwCountryCode
    Country/region code of the party the call is redirected to. If a value of zero is specified, a default is used by the implementation.

Return Values

Returns a positive request identifier if the function is completed asynchronously, or a negative error number if an error occurs. The dwParam2 parameter of the corresponding LINE_REPLY message is zero if the function succeeds or it is a negative error number if an error occurs. The following table shows the return values for this function.

Value Description
LINEERR_INVALADDRESS The address is invalid.
LINEERR_NOTOWNER The application is not the owner of this call.
LINEERR_INVALCALLHANDLE The handle to the call is invalid.
LINEERR_OPERATIONUNAVAIL The operation is unavailable.
LINEERR_INVALCALLSTATE The call state is something other than offering.
LINEERR_OPERATIONFAILED The operation failed.
LINEERR_INVALCOUNTRYCODE The country/region code is invalid.
LINEERR_RESOURCEUNAVAIL The resources are unavailable.
LINEERR_INVALPOINTER The pointer is invalid.
LINEERR_UNINITIALIZED A parameter is uninitialized.
LINEERR_NOMEM Not enough memory is available.

Remarks

Call redirect allows an application to deflect an offering call to another address without first answering the call. Call redirect differs from call forwarding in that call forwarding is performed by the switch without the involvement of the application; redirection can be done on a call-by-call basis by the application, for example, driven by caller ID information. It differs from call transfer in that transferring a call requires the call first be answered.

After a call has been successfully redirected, the call typically transitions to idle.

Besides redirecting an incoming call, an application may have the option to accept the call using the lineAccept function, reject the call using the lineDrop function, or answer the call using the lineAnswer function. The availability of these operations is dependent on device capabilities.

Note   This function is for TAPI version 2.0 and later.
