Remarks

WLanguage procedure

Whenever the status of the outgoing fax changes, FaxSend automatically calls the <WLanguage procedure>. This procedure is a global or local procedure of WINDEV or WEBDEV.
To create this procedure:
  1. Create a global procedure in the code editor: on the "Code" tab, in the "Procedures" group, expand "New" and select "New global procedure".
  2. Fill the declaration of the procedure as follows:
    PROCEDURE <Procedure name> (<Fax name>, <Fax status>)
    • <Fax name> is the name of the fax used. This name was defined with FaxSend.
    • <Fax status> is one of the constants for fax status (see FaxStatus).
Caution: This procedure must not contain any call to the debugger (no breakpoint, no STOP keyword, no auto-stop expression, etc.).
