Dialling and disconnecting — OPL Questions — All About Symbian Forum Archive

Some time ago I made a VB program enabling a computer to manipulate a Nokia phone. Now I would like transfer some of the functionality into the phone itself. What I have in mind is an application which would dial a number, wait till the connection is made (receiver's phone rings once), then dsiconnect and repeat the procedure through a list of phone numbers. (The list should be editable but that's not important at the moment.)

I've tried to find a solution to the problem for some time now and it seems that Java can't be used for the purpose. Programming "pre-Symbian" phones seems to be impossible, too. So, what's left, I guess, is some Symbian phone.

Surely what I have is mind is possible with OPL? Or C++

Surely I'm out of line here, but could someone make such a program for me 😮ops: Or tell me where to look for the functions and stuff I need.

I don't think OPL has enough API's to do that.
You can send sms 😛

C++ will always work 😊

So you can't make API calls from OPL? Knowing a little about VB I thought it would be a piece of cake. C++ is too much for me, OPL seems something I could understand. You see, I'm not a programmer and I don't wish to be. All I want is to make things work :-?

Well, I suppose I have to try my luck on the C++ forum then :cry:

What I ment was that there is no OPX which is the link between the phone features and OPL to make it happen.

If you would create an opx using c++ that performs your tasks, opl could use them.
