Record Initial Setup Properties

AppendDigit

Digit used to append one recording to another. Uses the vbvDigitMaskConstants. After making a recording, the control plays the MessageRecordedGreeting, followed by the OptionsGreeting if there are any option digits set.

AppendFile

(Boolean)

If set to True, the recording is appended to the file, if it already exists. If it does not exist, a new file is created. If the recording is cancelled, the file is truncated to its original length.

BeepBefore

(Boolean)

If True, a Beep is played before the recording starts. The beep is stored in the file BEEP.WAV and can be re-recorded if required. It should not contain a DTMF tone.

CancelDigit

Digit used to cancel greeting recording. Uses the vbvDigitMaskConstants. After making a recording, the control plays the MessageRecordedGreeting, followed by the OptionsGreeting if there are any option digits set.

ClearDigits

(Boolean)

Clears the digit buffer before the entry greeting is played. Note that the Record control always clears the digit buffer before starting the record. This is done to avoid inadvertent terminations of recordings due to "forgotten" digits in the digit buffer. This property only enables clearing the digit buffer before the Entry greeting is played.

CompressSilence

(Boolean)

Dialogic DM3 Cards: If this property is set, periods of silence during the recording are eliminated so that only the speech is recorded.

Dialogic Springware Cards: This property is not available. Instead, use parameters in the voice.prm file to control this feature. The silence compressed record (SCR) parameters in the voice.prm file appear as comments (each line begins with #). To enable the SCR feature, edit this file and remove the # from the beginning of each line containing an SCR parameter. Recommended values for the SCR parameters are provided in the file. This should be done before DCM downloads the firmware.

DisconnectControl

(String)

See Responding to Caller Hangup.

FileData

This property contains the default data for the Message Data associated with the record file. This data can contain control name references and can be changed at runtime using the MsgData property.

HelpDigitControl

See Help Digit.

IFileName

(String)

The default filename for the recorded file. See Recording a File Name.

IgnoreDtmf
