[BCB] Changing what the "caller id" says when making a phone call with TAPI

["Tanveer Khan" <KhanT@nospam.Bisys.com>]

I am not really sure but I think I saw something about CallerID in
LINECALLINFO struc and LineGetCallInfo() in the TAPI reference..
Let me know if it helped.

Hello everyone,

I am currently making a program for a call center and I have a problem.
I am currently using some simple codes that use TAPI and the Windows
dialer program to be able to make telephone calls (codes below).  If you
know of a better way please tell me.  Anyway what my problem is the call
center makes telephone calls for their different clients.  Now, is there
anyway to be able to control what someone's caller ID says when we make
a call?  The reason for this is it will allow us to make calls without
having to explain way our phone is registered to a different company
than we say when we make the call.

thank you very much,

Steven Carlson

// If the user entered a phone number then dial it...
if (Number->Text.Length()) { // Number is a TEdit which contains the phone number to dial.
    // Do I need to dial 9 first???
    if (CallNine->Text == "Yes") { // CallNine is a drop down box
        Number->Text = "9"+Number->Text;
    }

    // Disable the call button
    Dial->Enabled = false;

    // Ask TAPI to make a call using the phone dialer
    tapiRequestMakeCall(Number->Text.c_str(), "Dial", Calling->Text.c_str(), "Test");

    // Call is done, enable the call button
    Dial->Enabled = true;
}
