Overview¶
A non-visible component that makes a phone call to the number specified in the PhoneNumber property, which can be set either in the Designer or Blocks Editor. The component has a MakePhoneCall method, enabling the program to launch a phone call.
Often, this component is used with the ContactPicker component, which lets the user select a contact from the ones stored on the phone and sets the PhoneNumber property to the contact's phone number.
To directly specify the phone number (e.g., 650-555-1212), set the PhoneNumber property to a Text with the specified digits (e.g., "6505551212"). Dashes, dots, and parentheses may be included (e.g., "(650)-555-1212") but will be ignored; spaces may not be included.
