Download the VB fax (VB6) code samples.

In this VB fax sample, the GetList2 method is used to retrieve a list of inbound faxes (received faxes) with VB6.

The code snippet below uses the GetList2 method to display details for a number of submitted VB faxes (VB6):

Attribute VB_Name = "GetList2"
'
' This method gets a list of received VB6 faxes from the Inbound queue.
' A typical usage would be:
' ~ retrieve a list of all only new (yet Unread) items.
' ~ Browse the list and for each item on it:
'       Fetch the Image (tiff or pdf) using the GetList2() method
'       Mark each retrieved item as 'Read' using the MarkMessage() method
'
