TAPIEx ActiveX Control is not an end-user application program that provides Caller Id, answering machine, dialing apps, etc. TAPIEx is a telephony programming component for beginning to advanced developers.

TAPIEx abstracts Microsoft TAPI to simple telephone objects that can be easily controlled by your applications and it can help you to create your own CTI(Computer Telephony Integration) applications easily. TAPIEx makes it very easy to add telephony functionality to your application. For example you can easily add the ability to do screen pops utilizing Caller ID, dial from within a database application, add an interactive voice response (IVR) system to your database, automatic answering machine, call recorders, survey systems, call center application, conferencing systems, create a market survey system, and much more.

Written in C++ using ATL Active Template Library, TAPIEx is lightweight with no dependencies and can be used on Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows NT 4, Windows 2000 and Windows XP.

TAPIEx works through Microsoft's Telephony API (TAPI) to provide hardware-independence (the freedom to work with telephony devices from many manufacturers) and it can be used with all TAPI compliant telephony hardware, including low cost modems, professional multi-line telephony cards, compliant ISDN adapters, switches and telephone instruments etc.

TAPIEx is ActiveX Control, so it works with most Windows software development environments. With development tools like Visual C#, Visual Basic.NET, Visual Basic, Visual foxpro, Delphi, C++ Builder, Access ,Visual C++ and others that support ActiveX controls.
