PlaceCall method

This method is the one used to make calls from your program to another telephone. It should not be used in place of the Dial method to generate tones on a connected call – it should only be used to place new outbound calls.

The PlaceCall method will take the line off-hook, dial the destination number, and begin call progress processing to determine if and when a call is answered, the line is busy, or any of a number of other possible conditions. Since the call progress mechanism is used, there are a great number of properties that affect the behavior of this method. In addition, this method is sensitive to all the Dial properties as well.

Type

Arguments: DialString - the number to dial BSTR
