trigger TAPI call

[Klaus Darilion]

Hi!

There exists a nice tool called dial.exe
(http://www.iansharpe.com/art_dial.php) allows TAPI based dialing via
the command line, e.g. If I start "dial.exe 12345" the Windows dialer
(dialer.exe) will be started which calls the number 12345).

I wonder how this can be done. Is there a phone number handler in
Windows which causes the default TAPI application to be started?

Do you know an easy way to trigger a TAPI call (using dialer.exe or any
other TAPI application) from within another application?

thanks
Klaus

I think I found it myself: tapiRequestMakeCall()

Yes, this is correct. With COM application you could also use

ITRequest::MakeCall
(you must reference tapi3.dll)
