#### Details

nccAcceptCall accepts a call without answering or rejecting it, allowing the application to perform media functions, such as playing a voice file, before connecting or rejecting the call.

Not all protocols support this function and the accepting state. The application can determine if the protocol supports this state by examining the NCC_CAP_ACCEPT_CALL bit in the capabilitymask returned by nccQueryCapability.

If the remote party disconnects while the call is in the accepting state, the application receives NCCEVN_CALL_DISCONNECTED. In this case, no NCCEVN_ACCEPTING_CALL event is delivered to the application.

The application can specify one of the following modes to accept an incoming call:

Mode | Description
--- | ---
NCC_ACCEPT_PLAY_SILENT | Do not play anything.
NCC_ACCEPT_PLAY_RING | Play a ring tone.
NCC_ACCEPT_USER_AUDIO | User will supply audio.

NCC_ACCEPT_PLAY_RING and NCC_ACCEPT_USER_AUDIO are not supported by all protocols. The application can determine if the protocol supports this capability by examining the NCC_CAP_MEDIA_IN_SETUP bit in the capabilitymask returned by nccQueryCapability. NCC_ACCEPT_PLAY_SILENT is the default accept mode supported by all protocols.
