TAPI3 and VB.NET 2003

[Clayton Rumley]

Hello,

I've been banging away at TAPI in VB.NET (v1.1 of the Framework, Visual
Studio 2003) for the past two days trying to figure out why I don't seem to
have any of the ITxxx2 interfaces or the ITMediaPlayback/Record interfaces.

I'm running Windows XP Pro SP2, and I've tried picking the "Micosoft TAPI
3.0 Type Library" from the COM tab in the "Add References" window and
browsing directly to c:\windows\system32\tapi3.dll but I don't have any of
the aforementionned interfaces in the resulting TAPI3LIB COM wrapper.

Everywhere I've looked says that TAPI 3.1 comes with Windows XP and that all
those interfaces should be included and I see other people's source code in
C# or VB.NET that uses those interfaces but I don't have them. I am able to
access most of the other interfaces and do things like get the CallerID,
answer incoming calls, etc.

What am I missing or what didn't I do correctly?

Thanks for your time,

Clayton

Clayton,
It is recommended to post TAPI questions only to the managed TAPI newsgroup:
