Gets status information about an open voice object.

DWORD vceGetOpenInfo ( VCEHD vh,
VCE_OPEN_INFO *openinfo,
unsigned size)

vh Handle of an open voice object.

openinfo Pointer to a buffer to receive the following structure:

typedef struct
{
 DWORD size;
 DWORD filetype;
 DWORD openmode;
 DWORD encoding;
 CTAHD ctahd;
} VCE_OPEN_INFO;

See the Details section for a description of these fields.

size Size, in bytes, of the openinfo buffer.

• SUCCESS
• CTAERR_BAD_SIZE
  size is less than the size of DWORD.
• CTAERR_INVALID_HANDLE
  vh is not a valid handle to an open voice object.

• None.

This function retrieves status information about an open voice file or memory object.

The VCE_OPEN_INFO structure contains the following fields:

Field	Description
size	Number of bytes written to the buffer pointed to by openinfo.
filetype	The type of voice file (VCE_FILETYPE_xxx), or zero (0) if memory.
openmode	VCE_PLAY_ONLY or VCE_PLAY_RECORD.
encoding	Voice encoding of all messages in the file or memory block.
ctahd	The context handle used when vh was obtained.

The VCE_OPEN_INFO data remains constant for a given handle as long as it is open.

Use vceGetContextInfo to get time varying information pertaining to the context identified by ctahd.

Use vceGetEncodingInfo to get information about the encoding.

        return 0;
    return openinfo.encoding;
