Stopping

Call vceStop to stop play or record. Stopping play or record results in a DONE event. The value field of the DONE event contains CTA_REASON_STOPPED.

Note: CTA_REASON_STOPPED is also returned if play or record is stopped when the voice object being played or recorded is closed with vceClose. If you are playing a list, play is stopped if an object containing any message in the list is closed.

Using DTMF to terminate play or record

By default, play or record terminates when any DTMF digit is detected. The play parameter structure and the record parameter structure provide a selective DTMF abort mask specifying which DTMF digits terminate the function.

The DTMF abort mask is a 16-bit entity where each bit corresponds to a specific key on the telephone keypad. Setting a bit in the mask causes the voice function to terminate if that particular key is entered. The DTMF abort mask corresponds to the DTMF telephone keys as shown:

For example, if the abort mask is set to 0x03FF, the playing and recording functions terminate if the remote party enters any digit from 0 through 9. The vcedef.h include file contains #defines (VCE_DTMF_xxx) for each digit and for certain digit groups.
