Call in Progress Tutorial

This tutorial describes how to get the call progress with the telephony API for applications.

The client applications can determine the status of voice, data and fax calls with the CTelephony functions.

create a new instance of CTelephony
useCTelephony::GetIndicator() to get the call progress information The function returns a TIndicatorV1 object that contains the call progress information
pass the enumeration CTelephony::EGetIndicatorCancel to cancel the aynchronous request
use CTelephony::EIndicatorChange to get the notification of any changes in the call progress information
pass the enumeration CTelephony::EIndicatorChangeCancel to cancel the notification request
