I'm trying to build a TAPI based phone call system using JulMar's Atapi x86. One of the functions is to pop a specific form on an inbound call. However, whenever the form pops, it comes up incorrect, as shown below (I have tried several forms as a test and they all do the same thing). There is no error, nothing in the output window to suggest what the issue is.
Code:
private void incomingcall(object sender, NewCallEventArgs e)
{
string phonenumber = e.Call.CallerId; //get the phone number of the call
SqlCommand getincoming = new SqlCommand(Querystrings.getincomingquery(), DB);
getincoming.Parameters.AddWithValue("@@TELEPHONE", phonenumber);
DataTable results = new DataTable();
try
{
DB.Open();
using (var results = getincoming.ExecuteReader())
{
results.Load(results);
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Inbound ib = new Inbound(phonenumber, null);
ib.Show();
}
finally
{
DB.Close();
}
if (results.Rows.Count == 1)
{
loadcontactrequest(Convert.ToInt32(results.Rows[0].ItemArray[0]), phonenumber);
}
else
{
loadinbound(phonenumber, results);
}
}
I have loaded these forms outside of this function at other points, meaning it is something to do with this function. Does anybody know where I'm going wrong?
EDIT:
private void loadcontactrequest(int ContactID, string phonenumber)
{
ContactRequest cr = new ContactRequest(ContactID, Global.loginbound("Single customer found", phonenumber));
cr.Show();
}
These functions have been tested elsewhere and work correctly individually, I believe it might be TAPI related.
EDIT 2 - Delegate:
public static void inittapi()
{
if (TestOptions.notapi)
return;
tapi = new TapiManager("Omitted");
tapi.Initialize();
foreach (TapiLine ad in tapi.Lines) //Get all lines available to this PC
{
if (ad.Name.ToUpper().Contains("Omitted"))
{
phoneline = ad;
phoneline.Open(MediaModes.All); //Open the phone line for making and receiving calls
phoneline.NewCall += new EventHandler<NewCallEventArgs>(new TAPI().incomingcall); //Add the incoming call event handler
}
}
}
It's possible that this event is triggered on a different thread than the UI thread of your application.
Modify the method like this to test whether this is the problem:
private void incomingcall(object sender, NewCallEventArgs e)
{
Form form;
if(Application.OpenForms.Count > 0)
{
form = Application.OpenForms[0];
}
if (form != null && form.InvokeRequired)
{
form.BeginInvoke(new Action(() => { incomingcall(sender, e); }));
return;
}
// Your current code goes here
}
This will identify that we are in a different thread than your main form (form) was created on and then execute the function again on the main form's thread.
