Windows FAX Managment

[Shyju]

Can anybody help me to translate the below code to Autoit

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

Private Sub Form_Load()

Dim objFaxServer As New FAXCOMEXLib.FaxServer

Dim collFaxIncomingJobs As FAXCOMEXLib.FaxIncomingJobs

Dim objFaxIncomingJob As FAXCOMEXLib.FaxIncomingJob

'Error handling

On Error GoTo Error_Handler

'Connect to the fax server

objFaxServer.Connect("")

'Get the collection of jobs in the incoming queue

collFaxIncomingJobs = objFaxServer.Folders.IncomingQueue.GetJobs

'Display the number of jobs in the collection

MsgBox("There are " & collFaxIncomingJobs.Count & " jobs in the incoming queue.")

Dim n As Long

'Get the job

n = InputBox("Input the item number for which you want information.")

objFaxIncomingJob = collFaxIncomingJobs.Item(n)

'Refresh the job object (job is in process of being received, you

'want current information)

objFaxIncomingJob.Refresh()

'Display the job properties

MsgBox("Available operations: " & objFaxIncomingJob.AvailableOperations & _

vbCrLf & "Caller ID: " & objFaxIncomingJob.CallerId & _

vbCrLf & "CSID: " & objFaxIncomingJob.CSID & _

vbCrLf & "Transmission end: " & objFaxIncomingJob.Transmissionend & _

vbCrLf & "TSID: " & objFaxIncomingJob.TSID)

'Allow user to cancel the selected fax

Dim CancelString As String

CancelString = InputBox("Cancel this fax (Y/N)?")

If CancelString = "Y" Then objFaxIncomingJob.Cancel()

'Allow user to open the selected fax

Dim OpenString As String

OpenString = InputBox("Open this fax (Y/N)?")

If OpenString = "Y" Then

Dim FileName As String

FileName = InputBox("Provide path and name of file for TIFF copy, e.g. c:\MyFax.tiff")

objFaxIncomingJob.CopyTiff(FileName)

'Open the tiff file

Dim A As Object

A = CreateObject("wscript.shell")

A.run(FileName)

End If

Exit Sub

Error_Handler:

'Implement error handling at the end of your subroutine. This

' implementation is for demonstration purposes

MsgBox("Error number: " & Hex(Err.Number) & ", " & Err.Description)

End Sub

Basically I'm trying to take the incoming callerid/TSID to autoit..

This is a complete stab in the dark, since I don't have that COM object, but I was bored.

It at least comes back with 0 syntax errors.

I'm going to use fax service for the first time. I'm even not sure which service is better and reliable. If you know more please let me know.

LarryBradberry,

What makes me think someone else new might just be along in a while with a whole slew of payware links?

Thank you so much for your reply @Melba23. Actually I was looking for some kind of help here and there. Anyways, I found <snip> which is suitable for Windows 10. I would like to try it. What do you think?

LarryBradberry,

I think you are just pushing your preferred software - so go do it somewhere else. Account closed.
