Display calling number on new call

[Dinis]

Hi guys, I just came across the platform, and I'm delighted!
Just did the first tutorial, and it worked just fine.

I wanted to do something a little different, but I have not found any examples on the other tutorials, hence asking for help.

I would like to build a simple app that would do the following:

The user chooses a contact from the contacts list. When the user clicks the button to make the call, it displays a form with the number chosen.

Since there is no button to click, how can I do this? Do I need to build a listener for it, or is it possible to trigger an event on a button press?

Thanks in advance for any help,

Dinis

You will need to create a custom contacts list (with the Outlook library) and use a different button.
The 'call' button is registered to the phone program (cprog.exe).

The user chooses a contact from the contacts list. When the user clicks the button to make the call, it displays a form with the number chosen.

The compiled version of my caller app is here.

I've posted 'a version' of the source for people to look at in this post.
I'm not sure what version the souce is, it might not even run.
The images are not included for a start

But it might give you some help with Erel's post about
the Outlook library and a contacts list :sign0140:
