Starting with toolkit
Answer
1/27/10 2:06 AM
Hello. thank you for this open forum.
 
I want to develop a software for the company I work for. Neither me or the company will sell the program. We need it because we have a lot of 7941 IP PHONEs.
 
I've been reading a lot but I'm still confused on what I need. I will work with VB 6 so as far as I know, I need the CIL.
 
What we want to do is have some information about the calls and have control on events like ring, answering, hang up, etc...  I read one document, I think is the Developers Guide. There I read about the CIL and the VB components.
 
Now I have some questions:
 
Do we need to buy the CIL even if we will not sell the software?
 
How can we buy the CIL?
 
Is CIL the only thing I need to develop my own application?
 
Thank you for your help in advance.

I don't work for Cisco, so please take this as just my experience.
 
If you have purchased CTIOS and can install it, the CIL is included in the installation folder and is not an additional purchase.
 
The .Net CIL examples should tell you all you need to know - hopefully you're using VB.NET and not something older.  If you're using VB and NOT .Net, it's a good idea to do so.
 
The basic programming model is simply event-oriented.  Respond to the Event Listener's list of events to keep your UI updated to the current status of the system.  Issue commands based on UI actions and listen for the corresponding confirmation response.  It's simplicity itself, and is well documented.
 
Hope this helps.
