Maybe you could use that VB example and let it respond to DDE commands, so you can automate it? I once did such a thing for my "vds2msn" program. Smile

And to add to what mindpower has already said this is an area where errors causing hardware damage is not just a theoretical possibilty - people have *had* it..

Yeah it would be heaven if you find a 32 dll for this epecially if it's freeware.
I had searched for a freeware 32 dll even well knowing that it may not be available for the degree of effort it needs. I think you can search to find some commercial 32 (true) dll's if you want. I think I had come across one while searching although haven't bookmarked it.
Also mostly you find active x dll's for M$ is making all these more and more object oriented and this can be accessed by VB/C++/.Net with relative ease compared to the earlier TAPI interface.
EDIT: Another thing you can look for is a command line utility to which you can give a vds front end.

That's what I said above... Smile

Hi,

I found lots of delphi components (many freeware) for dialing
using tapi. I tested some of them.

At http://www.programmersheaven.com/zone2/cat70/ there is one very small (the last one), which I could not test. Is it possible to make a dll from this one ?

Bye, Fabian

The component doesn't appear to be freeware any longer:

http://www.commso.com/order/index.htm

Looks like $199 for standard and $699 for enterprise. If you then want someone to create a dll in Delphi for you I would imagine it would be expensive to create such a dll since it would take quite a few hours to create. I'm not sure if Tommy still makes custom dll's or not you may want to contact him and ask, I no longer make such large extensions.

TapiDial 2.0 from http://www.delphi32.com/vcl/2089/ appears to be a freeware Delphi VCL component with source. That's the way I would go if I was thinking of writing a VDS TAPI extension.

I've been wanting TAPI / VDS integration for like 3 years now -- If someone cracks this nut it would be awesome.

I have posted a VB activeX dll interfaced with VDS 5.x on my site dll section for quite sometime now. It throws false errors sometimes in VDS(compiled exe) on my machine which is related to mutithreading and callbacks conflicting somewhere with VDS ?. Otherwise it works OK.
You can take a look at it how it does with you.

I may try using a different wrapper having more functions or debug it further but it takes a lot of time which i currently don't have.

The only downside is it requires VB 6 runtime.

That is an interesting example, but I REALLY hoping someone is working on a fully functional TAPI dll -- it enable amazing things! Visual Basic, C++, adn Delphi are tough for me (and many others). Cone on someone -- take on a TAPI project! I'd be happy to test with you!!!

Your best bet is to contact a dll developer and get a custom dll made. As suggested the component for a dll like this is going to be a base $199 (http://www.commso.com/order/index.htm) and then the custom dll is going to run around $100-$200 or more depending on how long it takes to make. It's going to be expensive (~ $500 or more) for such a dll.

I personally no longer make custom dll's as they take way too long to make, however I think Tommy and a few others here still make them.

There may be someone here who may work on it for free though so I can't say for sure it's going to cost alot, either way it will take alot of time to make.
