Remarks

This operation is part of the Extended Telephony services. It provides access to a device-specific feature without defining its meaning. This operation is only available if the application has successfully negotiated a device-specific extension version.

This function provides the application with phone feature-button emulation capabilities. When an application invokes this operation, it specifies the equivalent of a button-press event. This method of invoking features is device dependent, as TAPI does not define their meaning. Typically, an application that relies on these device-specific extensions does not work with other service provider environments.
