Re: Help with setting Cisco Message Waiting lamp

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

HI Matthias,

I'm getting conflicting info on a lot of things :) As for the
conversion of C++ "char" to VB it may be the way you show with byte,
or I found this:

m_whatever as string * 25.

In any case, it makes no sense to me since why does it create an array
just to set an extension? Since this is supposedly designed to set a
message waiting lamp on any extension while logged onto one extension,
I would think all I need is a string or number to pass to tell it
which light to turn on. So I have no idea why I have an array, unless
that is more C++ stuff where it really is a string up to 25 characters
long, which is the way I will test it. :)

I think I am missing a file the documentation references. I can see
from the header that comes in the install that these classes must
reference something else since all I have is
CiscoLineDevSpecificMsg.h. The CISCO docs reference
CiscoLineDevSpecific.h where the Cisco classes must call this other
class and where the definitions for the structures must exist. The
docs say:

The file CiscoLineDevSpecific.h contains the constant, structure and
class definition for the Cisco line device specific classes.

I imagine If I found that I could decode it or get help decoding it.

For what its worth, I can get the code to do this in any language. I
like VB6 just because it is the quickest language I have ever seen for
prototyping thing with. Also, it doesn't have an obtuse directory
structure, etc. Second, I would love Delphi. After that VB.NET or
C#.NET. The only thing I don't like about the .NET languages is they
aren't "quick". The overhead is significant, they are slow, create
subfolders in subfolders, etc :) I can't "get in and get out" like I
can in VB6 and Delphi 7. But I have VS2005 and Delphi for .NET latest
version (now under the new CodeGear name).

So it would seem I need the actual TAPI information from them to make
the call and not what is hidden behind their interfaces. What do they
do with all the people who don't program in C++? Surely they have
some way to give programmers the actual TAPI API level information we
all need and not their custom interfaces? Any thoughts? Doesn't
anyone have code to do this, or have ALL of the Cisco headers? Thanks
