FAX job status.

The link below brings up a site for MSDN and has information for "Managing
Fax Jobs".

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/ms691821.aspx

This has a section called "Querying Fax Jobs", which should have all the
information needed to get the status of a fax job. I am using the sample
code for sending a Fax which was found in the link below:

http://fox.wikis.com/wc.dll?Wiki~TapiFaxAutomation~VFP

There is no problem sending the Fax, but I can't seem to get the status,
which should be available, as indicated in the MSDN site above. Perhaps
someone who is more familiar with C++ or VisualBasic can figure out how to
integrate the code in a VFP implementation. The goal is to get the status
of the fax being sent. I would appreciate any help I could get toward
achieving the goal.

Thanks,

E. Myron

YOu may be better off using Hylafax on a linux server.... :)

The explanation seems straight-forward to me. What have you tried? What
didn't work?

Dan, I obviously don't know how to implement the code in VFP. You will find
some code I tried below. Following that, you will find a clip of the
reference material I used for getting the "devicestatus".

--------------------------------

*My code:

c=createobject('faxserver.faxserver')

*some other code goes here...

*after sending fax,

fj=x.getjobs()

fp=x.getports()

?fp.item(1).deviceStatus

*I also tried

?fj.deviceStatus

*Both tries indicated errors about devicestatus.

--------------------------------

Reference material:

Here is the explanation from the documentation which you said looked very
straight forward:

IFaxJob::DeviceStatus Property

The IFaxJob::DeviceStatus property is a null-terminated string that
describes the status of the port associated with the fax job.

Syntax

HRESULT IFaxJob::get_DeviceStatus(BSTR *pVal);

Parameters

pVal

Pointer to a variable of type BSTR that receives a localized null-terminated
string that contains a fax device status. Following are the English string
equivalents.

etc. etc.
