Phone API
This API provides the functionality to access a call log and creates a custom report from the information in that log. Call logs list the information related to all of the incoming and outgoing calls for a device, allowing the user to track and return missed calls, manage billable time spent on the phone, and perform other tasks that make the device more powerful than a standard cell phone.
The Call Log application supports the context menu extensibility mechanism. The context name for this application is Phone and the class name is Log. The IUnknown pointer that is passed from the application to the context menu handler supports the IPropertyBag interface; the supported properties are listed in the following table.
| Property name | Property type | Property value |
