Hi Folks,
This is my first post, although I've owned my XDAIIs for several weeks and I've ROM'd it to the iMATE 1.4 ROM. So I've had a good play.
I was looking at smsOrganizer (from Jeyo) which is badly supported (and it ain't free) and I wondered why I (we) couldn't write something to do the same thing, for free.
Is there a forum for this kind of activity, or could someone point me in the direction of some exmples of how to pass data between the PC and phone?
Best regards
AndrwB
Andrew, look into RAPI: eg here
http://msdn.microsoft.com/archive/default.asp?url=/archive/en-us/dnarppc2k/html/ppc_teapppi.asp
Development and Hacking is the right place for this kind of query...what do you want the app to do?

Hi V,
Basically I want to control the SMS message transfer on my XDA from Outlook, just like smsOrganizer.
Re. your link, I think we've got those? but I generally write embedded C, non of this fancy C++ stuff :-((
AndrewB
Hi V,
I just tried this :
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;307256
And I can now copy files to and from my device
Not bad for 1 hours playing, specially as I've fixed 2 work related bugs too )
Andrew B
Good stuff.
I'm just learning C++ actually, I never learnt C, coming from self-taught VB on the PC.
RAPI is the way to do most PC<>PDA communications, although right now I'm only just getting into sms stuff. It'd be easy enough (I think) to write an interface to create an SMS on the PC in text, transmit that to the PDA and then SMS it off, but the backend of it would require some implementation.
Keep us posted though!

99% of c programs should compile and work just fine on
c++ compilers and you can write c++ programs without using
oop in which case they are pretty much c programs
From what I've read it looks as if you need to write an app to sit on the device and another app on the main PC. The app on the phone just acts as an agent passing data between the sms services and the PC.
Anybody got any ideas?
AndrewB
Yipeeeee
I can now write a DLL that sits on the device and I can write a C++ application on my PC to communicate with it
Now to start reading some text messages from the device to the PC......
Does anybody know agood way to send and recieve SMS ?? I would also like to edit the text and pass it to an Edit Box.
I am not too sure about the available API's that will let me do this.
Please HELP :shock:
Hey , i would like to send and recieve SMS on my xda2. Also pass the recieved message into an Edit Control. Does anybody know a good way to do this ??
I know about the SMS API but i am unaware of others. Pleas Help !! thnkx
SMS Auto sending
Hi everybody,
Is there a way to auto send all sms in draft? Basically, every sms in draft folder needs to be send one by one by ticking send button.
OK,
I can now send a text message from my PC to a DLL on my phone using RAPI, then send a SMS using MAPI.
The trouble is I can't get the subject and body fields to display correctly on my XDAIIs. Also I can't get the Name to appear instead of the number.
I'll try to post the code later on the understanding that it is FREE and we pool our experiences/knowledge.
Here is the code for the DLL and the PC program. Just press one of the keys on the tol bar to send the message. The number and message are hard coded.
There are ABSOLUTELY NO guarentees with this code, use it at you own risk.
can it recieve SMS as well ?? Has any body thought about other API's to use for sending and recieving SMS's maybe ?
Well.... Not yet.
This is my first ever .net VC++ program !!!!
There are lots of code snipets around but no full source code.
This is a work in progress project hence it is in the "Development and Hacking" fourm.
If you'd like to add some functionality to it......
I am asking because there seems to be a problem when trying to recieve SMS with SMS api as the HANDLE is already attributed to the messaging application (inbox/draft/outbox).
I believe you are using RAPI ? However i do not understand this API that well could u specify a bit more ?
Thanks for your help.
Hi nutitija,
I'm only using the RAPI function to pass parameters from my PC to the XDA. The actual sending of messages is done using the MAPI in the XDA.
My biggest problem is getting the subject/body and from fields to display correctly in the different XDA mail views.

We have an application that was written for the ipaq 3970 with a PCMCIA jacket and a GSM card,(normally nokia cardphone). We sent and received SMS messages via standard AT commands. Our code was initially VB but we had to rewrite it using c# for performance reasons.
Has anybody managed to write an app for the XDA ii to send and receive SMS messages? If so how did you manage it, ie via AT commands or some other integrated API that is available on the XDA.
Does any of the XDA embedded software interfere or prevent a custom written app from intercepting SMS messages?
Any tips or pointers would be very much appreciated before we commit to buying a XDA only to find that it will not work as we intend.
Did you look at OpenNetCF? They have some .NET classes for sending/receiving SMS messages and interacting with the SIM.
Let me know if that does it for you.
Cube
thanks, at first glance it looks to be a top link for exactly what we want to do. I'll let you know how we get on,
Have you used theses classes yourself for sending/receiving SMSs?
cheers,

port gnokii to wince.
there is a opensource project that's name is gnokii, that's work in most unix system and win32,
can send or read sms with serial base GSM modem, it writen in c.
http://www.gnokii.org/
Hope can help.
gnokki
Thanks for the gnokki link although I think porting it to CE would be a headache and it doesnt seem to support the XDA.
It might come in usefull elsewhere though.
Has anyone used software from a company called Derdack to manage the sending and receiving of SMS messages on windows platform?
Hello,
I would like to use SMS in a new application using XDA. I want my application can read sms in inbox.
Do you know how I could see example of source code using SMS API? Or do you have such example to help me?
I got example to send sms but cannot get sample how to read the sms.
FYI, i am writing program using eVB.
Thanks a lot
You should take a look at PocketPC Network Programming by Steve Makofsky or simply try
http://groups.google.com/groups?q=pocketpc+sms+api&start=0&hl=de&ie=UTF-8&
and

SMS API is not easy.
Yup, it's not very easy, you need to learn about POOM...
I advise you to look into VB .net, it's been made a hell of a lot easier.
I still do it the Medieval way though! Win32 C++ all the way :shock:
V
I did include some C code on sending/reading SMS in this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=10761&highlight=
You are asking about reading messages in the Inbox that is when poom as mentioned by vijay555 comes into play.
I don't know anything about poom, but I have read incoming SMS by making my read thread take control of incoming SMS. This means that the message never goes into the inbox.
vangelderp: interesting code, not seen it before on the board. A very good way to do it. It doesn't need to be installed before pocket outlook etc does it? I don't imagine it does. Good stuff!
V
No it does not need to be installed before PPC Inbox (Outlook), what seems to happen is when a SMS message comes in the Inbox fires up. From that point on my code won't get a handle to SMSRead.
So what you need to do is do a warm reset and then start your user program (including my code sample) before any new incoming SMS messages and then it will get the SMSRead handle first. This then blocks Inbox getting a handle which I am sure it raises a error message on if you then try to go into inbox.
vangelderp: yup, that's what I thought. I never used that technique because of that, I stuck with POOM. But your createevent and thread work is very helpful.

SmsReadMessage of SMS.API
Thanks for your all comments.
Do you know how to use SmsReadMessage of SMS.API ?
This function is used to Reads a previously received SMS message. I really hope somebody else out there can help me how to use that function
Regards
You use SmsReadMessage like I do in the code attachment I have mentioned.
This function does not read a SMS message that has already been received by the normal PPC Inbox program. As said for that you need to use POOM.
SmsReadMessage for for your code to get a SMS Read Handle and then wait for the event (The Message) to occur and then use the SmsReadMessage function.
Exactly as I have done in my code snippit.
Hi All. I've started this Topic because i cant find any information anywhere about this!
I need to write an app for WM5 (PPC) and part of its function will be to send an email in the background to a certain address. I've read up on the new additions to WM5 and it tells me about the wonderful new messaging API (MAPI) thats availiable. Problem is, i have no clue where to find it, nevermind use it.
If anyone has a clue what the simplest way is to send an email with an attachment from a C# WM5 app, i'd be extreemely grateful!
Thanks
You should be able to do this by using the tmail.exe app with appropriate command lines. If you're doing it the hard way, investigate POOM.
Are you saying you don't know where to find the WM5 SDK?
V
MAPI
I'm doing it the hard way.
K. looked at POOM. Looks good but...
it says i have to start a MAPI session and gives code showing how to do it but i don't know what references to add to get the specific types and methods that the code requires. Any ideas?
Hi!
I'm asking here if there is around a simple but valid flash sms sender, with GUI and access of outlook's phonebook... possibly with anonymous sender...
Searched a lot on the internet but found too crappy softwares...
cheers, Moccij
Hi MocciJ,
Have you tried Vijay555's tool for this type of sms? I know it's capable, but I'm unsure about the gui & contact integration part you want. You can find it @ www.vijay555.com
Regards, M
Already seen it..
But I'm looking to something qith contacts and some sort of GUI, maybe only for typing in the mex, the phone number from the contacts, and a send button..
Another app I've seen includes this minimal GUI, but no contacts and no copy and paste option..
Maybe I'm asking too much if I want it to integrate with outlook? Is it possible?
Many thanks, MocciJ
I'm sure it can be done, this integration with outlook. TomTom has it's added its 'contact navigation' option & Richard Owens the 'file as first last' option.
The question will be who's going to do it. Try to contact Vijay maybe he can do it for you, although I know he got a lot of stuff on his head lately.
M
Will contact him
Flashy messages rulez!! :lol:
MocciJ
Guys, Class 0 requires sending through a custom app, it's not a simple switch you check within outlook. As such, an Outlook plugin can grab the details of the contact, perhaps, but will then have to jump into its own GUI to do the text message creation and sending etc.
It's feasible, but just a pain in the backside to do GUIs right now...
However, I'm thinking about doing an app that will hopefully integrate such features at some point after a couple of more urgent things first...
V
Vijay,
By no means I'm pushing or rushing you to create this app. The general idea you sketch is just what I had in mind as the solution.
off topic: I see you moved to a new place :-( Hope everything is still ok with the family, especially with Alexander.
Have to get the kids to school & write you laterrrr,
M
an interface for sending class 0 sms would be very cool. Ive made up a basic interface that uses vijays program but its pretty crappy, just two boxs for text and the phone number and a send button :lol: thats about as far as my vb skills go!
Well, I haven't VB skills at all :wink:
Ryanmt:
I've tried carty flash messenger, which has the same GUI as your app, but no paste and phonebook if the app u compiled has cut and paste options at least, then we're at a good point (since u can copy the number from the phonebook and paste into the program ) can u post the app here?
Cheers, MocciJ
just hunting on the net to find some info on accessing contacts
who'd ahve thought they would make it so hard to add a paste option :S
if anybody could give me some pointers ide be willing to have a go at making it all work. But as it stands i could write it easily in java but dont understand the tutorials for C#
glad to see that there are upgrades... flashy sms are pretty cool... Must thank Ryanmt..
Best regards, MocciJ
Have you tried Jgui A.SMS ? It can send class0 smses.
hmm, I wanted a some more simplier app, just as Ryanmt thought.. But in any case I'll try it :wink:
MocciJ
I saw one in the msdn site
you can change in the provider options to change betweent classes
the example there sends in class 0

Hi there
I've spent a fruitless 6 hours searching the net trying to find any code examples to simply read messages from the Inbox for SMS/MMS inside managed code, i.e. a VB.NET application. (CF2) I want to:
- enumerate messages from the outlook (SMS) inbox
- read the message body and sender's number
So far... ...aside from "Mobile InTheHand" (which I cannot afford), I have found no other code examples of how to do this. I have found some cemapi.dll code, a mapirule.dll example, both of which were built for earlier versions of WM5 - I am using WM6 professional so they won't compile in Vis Studio 2005.
please please please PLEEEEEESE could somebody provide me with a code example. Has anybody built a free mapirule wrapper? I notice that the namespace is there inside the microsoft.windowsmobile.pocketoutlook model, yet the functionality is not included in Compact Framework 2.0. Honestly, anyone would think Microsoft were stalling to avoid doing inTheHand out of their money! Ha! It's not like InTheHand was written by anyone at Microsoft or something... ....oh, wait, hang on, it is.
Carlos
PS: Some extra notes:
1. NO, you cannot do this with OpenCFNet. It lets you intercept messages, but this is not what I want to do.
2. NO, this is not included in the InTheHand community (free) edition.
short answer: you can't.
longer answer: interrop with cemapi. It was so easy and working so well that I rewrote the app in C++.

I was looking for the same thing and wanted to write my own MAPI wrapper, but after searching and asking on lots of forums i didn't find a solution, but i found this @ every developers' best friend CodeProject...
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/cs/PocketPCandSmartphone.aspx?msg=2337210
this articles shows you how to read all the message stores, populate their folders, read messages and the developer is improving it...
hope that helps you...
oh btw the sample (and the dll) are written in C#, but the sample is straight forward so u can easily change it to VB.Net
