如何使用Qt应用程序发送传真？

Question

I have a Qt application which needs to be able to send faxes. I'm wondering if there are any fax libraries I can make use of. I haven't been able to find an obvious solution, so I would appreciate your help.

The application has to run on windows xp / windows 7.

If I am unclear/you need more information, please let me know.

EDIT

There will be a fax machine. I'm not sure how the fax drivers work, but the application should support every fax machine.

Answer 1

Windows has a Fax Service Extended COM API

Complete with code samples.

Configuration http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms692969(v=vs.85).aspx

Sending http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms693482(v=vs.85).aspx

Answer 2

I'd make sure your installed fax has a printer driver, that lets you print to it. Then use the QT print API: http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5.0/printing.html

I'd try it with the print dialog first, and choose the fax machine manually.

Then check through all the data in QPrinter

To see which one has the fax number. I would hope that it might be the OutPutFileName .

The other way might be to use Microsoft Scripting to send the fax, wrapped in the QtActiveX module

Finally I googled this: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms693482(v=vs.85).aspx

Sorry it's not a complete answer. I hope it can point you in the right direction though.
