Hi

Does anyone have any experience with the TAPI32.DLL for autodialling from a Jade application? I've tried using the shellExecute external function call to run the Windows default dialer, but as this program won't let you pass a phone number to it (as far as I can tell), it hasn't been that useful.

What I'm after is something similar to

call shellExecute (hwnd, "open","mailto:"&listBoxAddresses.text, null, null, 1);

but doing a "dialto:" if you like. I know that this isn't how it will work exactly, but hopefully you get the idea.

Failing all this, does anyone know of a Windows phone dialer that you can pass a phone number parameter to in some way (or even if you can do it with windows dialer).

Thanks
