Select an Address

  • Article

The following code example demonstrates use of the TAPI object to examine available telephony resources for an address that can handle a specified set of media type requirements. In this example, audio and video are the required media.

Before using this code example, you must perform the operations in Initialize TAPI.

Note

This example doesn't have the error checking and releases appropriate for production code.

// Declare the interfaces used to select an address.
IEnumAddress * pIEnumAddress;
ITAddress * pAddress;
ITMediaSupport * pMediaSupport;

// Use the TAPI object to enumerate available addresses.
hr = gpTapi->EnumerateAddresses( &pIEnumAddress );
// If (hr != S_OK) process the error here. 

// Locate an address that can support the media type the application needs.
while ( S_OK == pIEnumAddress->Next(1, &pAddress, NULL) )
{
    // Determine the media support.
    hr = pAddress->QueryInterface(
         IID_ITMediaSupport,
         (void **)&pMediaSupport
         );
    // If (hr != S_OK) process the error here. 

    // In this example, the required media type is already known.
    // The application can also use the address object to
    // enumerate the media supported, then choose from there.
    hr = pMediaSupport->QueryMediaType(
         TAPIMEDIATYPE_AUDIO|TAPIMEDIATYPE_VIDEO,
         &bSupport
         );
    // If (hr != S_OK) process the error here. 

    if (bSupport)
    {
        break;
    }
}
// pAddress is now a usable address.
