The phoneInitialize function is obsolete. It continues to be exported by Tapi.dll and Tapi32.dll for backward compatibility with applications using TAPI versions 1.3 and 1.4.
Applications using TAPI version 2.0 or later must use phoneInitializeEx instead.
For TAPI Versions 1.4 and Earlier: The phoneInitialize function initializes the application's use of TAPI for the subsequent use of the phone functions in the Telephony API. It registers the application's specified notification mechanism and returns the number of phone devices that are available to the application.
Pointer to a location that is filled with the application's usage handle for TAPI.
Instance handle of the client application or DLL.
Address of a callback function that is invoked to determine status and events on the phone device.
Pointer to a null-terminated string that contains displayable characters. If this parameter is non-NULL, it contains an application-supplied name of the application. This name is provided in the PHONESTATUS structure to indicate, in a user-friendly way, which application is the current owner of the phone device. This information can be useful for logging and status reporting purposes. If lpszAppName is NULL, the application's filename is used instead.
Pointer to DWORD. This location is loaded with the number of phone devices available to the application.
Returns zero if the request succeeds or a negative error number if an error occurs. Possible return values are:
PHONEERR_INVALAPPNAME, PHONEERR_INIFILECORRUPT, PHONEERR_INVALPOINTER, PHONEERR_NOMEM, PHONEERR_OPERATIONFAILED, PHONEERR_REINIT, PHONEERR_RESOURCEUNAVAIL, PHONEERR_NODEVICE, PHONEERR_NODRIVER, PHONEERR_INVALPARAM
The application can refer to individual phone devices by using phone device identifiers that range from zero to dwNumDevs minus one. An application should not assume that these phone devices are capable of anything beyond what is specified by the Assisted Telephony subset without first querying their device capabilities with the phoneGetDevCaps function.
Applications should not invoke phoneInitialize without subsequently opening a phone (at least for monitoring). If the application is not monitoring and not using any devices, it should call phoneShutdown so that memory resources allocated by TAPI can be released if unneeded, and TAPI itself can be unloaded from memory while not needed.
Another reason for performing a phoneShutdown is that if a user changes the device configuration (adds or removes a line or phone), there is no way for TAPI to notify an application that has a line or phone handle open at the time. After a reconfiguration has taken place, causing a PHONESTATE_REINIT message to be sent, no applications can open a device until all applications have performed a phoneShutdown.
If any service provider fails to initialize properly, the phoneInitialize function fails and returns the error indicated by the service provider. If the PHONEERR_INVALPARAM error value is returned, the specified hInstance parameter is invalid.
