Hello gsmtexts,
You can easily implement a watch using skschema which will "watch" for any outgoing calls and end them immediately.
Is your idea to prevent accidental call outs? If so, this should work great. If it is for security, then you might try some other method.

Hi,
I need to develope an application that basically replaces the caller ID screen that pops up when you have an incoming call and show some more information on the caller, then let the user answer or decline the call.
any help on where to look first (or maybe code snipets if i'm lucky) highly appreciated.
Cheers,
Shafa
I think you may have a hard time if it is truly a seperate application you wish to write. I have written a program to try to be used at the same time as cprog.exe and when that incoming call window comes up nothing I have tryed will let the user interact with any windows I create. You could stop that process but most users will not want to do this. I ended up having my program automatically determine if it wants to accept the incoming call and answer it itself. This was particularly anoying because my incoming call interest was set to data only and cprog dose not normally even register an incoming call that is purly data. But after I had initialized tapi with my settings cproc unexpectedly shared the same interest for incoming data calls.
Just as speculation - if your program was constantly running, when an incoming call is offering, you could enumerate the desktop windows using EnumWindows and its associated callback function to get the hwnd of the ballon that comes up. Then perhaps you could close the incoming call window or send it to the bottom of the z order and use your own to replace it. I do not know what effect this would have on cprog.
code related to tapi tends to be long so your not that lucky

Hi guys.
When I use my headset I would like to know who is calling. So I thought about it and came to two solutions.
One is to make a program to handle incoming calls and that can be configured to play the voice tag associated with the current calling contact, or if the caller isn't on the address book, then say the phone number (I would make 10 wav files each with one number spoken on it).
The second option was to search for something like it on the net.
For the first I've searched everywhere and I wasn't able to find how to programatically handle incoming calls and retrieve the call info.
For the second I haven't found such software.
Can someone point me in some direction?
Thanks
I searched better and it seems that Microsoft Voice Commander does what I need.
Can someone please confirm?
Thanks
Hi guys!
I'm trying to develop an application to control the incoming call flow. That is an easy task in it self, and i solved that by using C++ and TAPI. The problem is that cdialer.exe always disturb me with that annoying ringtone and popup. So basically my question is how i can take full control of a HCALL coming from a TAPI callback, process the call and then simulate a new TAPI callback so the default phone app can get a hold of the call. If you have tried Magicall or any other similar call filter app, you know what i mean. I just can't understand how they do it.
Any suggestions?
I was under the impression that TAPI couldn't handle incoming calls.
TAPI handles both incoming and outgoing phone calls on WM.
You need to use RIL. But it's quite hard (at least for me) to implement as the documentation is rare. Good Luck.
Thanks A_C, i'll give that a try
My bad. TAPI 2.0 introduced Inbound calls support.
Hi, I have started to write a parental control phone application for wm6 which would let my kids answer only selected numbers and dial only a few numbers, however I am having a few issues where I need help:
1- I am trapping the Notification Event for incomming call (RegistryNotifyCallback) and put my window topmost (to hide the Phone Incoming Window) but I don't know how to prevent the use of the Green and Red hardware buttons (I need to disable them so the phone can't be answered if the number is not approved)
2- For outgoing calls, I need my app to be started with the Green phone button instead of cprog, but again, how do I trap those buttons.
Thank you
Replacing CPROG: bad idea
You just need to create a dialParser dll (signed) that will block outgoing calls that are not allowed, and maybe some TAPI wrapper to block incoming calls.
Replacing cprog is just a wrong solution.
How to make a dialParser? look at Google! it's an undocumented API (MS doesn't want you to know how to do it if you don't pay the partnership...) but leaks are everywhere!
Hi,
I'm receiving malicious phone calls from my ex-girlfriend. I'm on T-mobile UK and they DON'T have the facility to block calls on the network end.
Ideally I'd like a free program to block calls and texts but I am prepared to pay a reasonable amount. I've done some research my self and have found nothing that I've thought would do the job.
Help PLEASE... I want to throw my anti-anxiety medication away.
Dave.
Try Call Firewall http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=307178 -it blocks atleast calls (but not SMS)..
Cheers, just d/l'd and installed. tested by blocking my brother-in-laws number and got him to call me. success!
THANKS!
Any ideas in regards to SMS?
Dave
I have had success with MagiCall. It can also block SMS. It can even be set up to pick up and hang up within milliseconds of receiving a call (instead of just "ignoring" the call .. which sends the caller to voicemail so she can leave you annoying messages that must be deleted. not so with pickup/hangup!). If you want to adjust the # of milliseconds between pickup and hangup, it is configurable in the registry. Just contact the developer!
It can block numbers with wildcards, even unknowns, and has time-sensitive settings as well. Can also block SMS via its contents (or sender).
Oh, and very small footprint, only 233.55kb (its fast!)
I've been using it for over a year and am very happy with it. Its $25. [http://www.mobiion.com/magicall.html] And ... no, I promise I don't work for them!
Hey,
Thanks for your assistance, i'll buy MagiCall when i've got a bit of spare cash. thanks! I'll add these solutions to the wiki when i can.
Dave
Hey brotha I know what you mean I had the same problem. I was gonna change my number but I just ignored her and after about a month (I know thats a long time) she stopped. I have to give it to her she was persistent.
