  HPHONE hPhone,
  DWORD  dwRow,
  DWORD  dwColumn,
  LPCSTR lpsDisplay,
  DWORD  dwSize
);

Parameters

hPhone

Handle to the open phone device. The application must be the owner of the phone.

dwRow

Row position on the display where the new text is to be displayed.

dwColumn

Column position on the display where the new text is to be displayed.

lpsDisplay

Pointer to the memory location where the display content is stored. The display information must have the format specified in the dwStringFormat member of the PHONECAPS structure, which describes the phone's device capabilities.

dwSize

Size of the information pointed to by lpsDisplay, in bytes. If the lpsDisplay parameter is a pointer to a string, the size must include the null terminator.

Return value

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 PHONE_REPLY message is zero if the function succeeds or it is a negative error number if an error occurs. Possible return values are:

PHONEERR_INVALPHONEHANDLE, PHONEERR_OPERATIONUNAVAIL, PHONEERR_NOTOWNER, PHONEERR_OPERATIONFAILED, PHONEERR_INVALPHONESTATE, PHONEERR_UNINITIALIZED, PHONEERR_INVALPOINTER, PHONEERR_NOMEM, PHONEERR_INVALPARAM, PHONEERR_RESOURCEUNAVAIL.

Remarks

The specified display information is written to the phone's display, starting at the specified positions. This operation overwrites previously displayed information. If the amount of information exceeds the size of the display, the information is truncated. The amount of information that can be displayed is at most (dwNumRows * dwNumColumns) elements in size. dwNumRows and dwNumColumns are available in the PHONECAPS structure, which is returned by phoneGetDevCaps; they are zero-based.
