Is there any way that my program can be notified when a new SMS message
arrives on my Pocket PC Phone?

If you want to receive SMS messages (or only notifications on them) in your
application outside Inbox you need to use IMailRuleClient. There is a sample
in the PocketPC 2003 SDK and in the Smartphone 2003 SDK. Look under win32
samples for mapirule. What you find there is a COM plugin for Inbox that
implements IMailRuleClient. Hopefully we have an article available soon on
how to use this from managed code.

Make sure to attend CEA-HOL3 on Tuesday June 29 or CEA-HOL3R on Wednesday

Also make sure to stop by for session CEA308 on Thursday July 1st to learn
more about the real-time behavior of the .NETCF.
 
I managed to get the IMapiRule example working. HOWEVER the trouble i'm
having is that is does not trap all types of sms messages. CLASS0 type
for example, the type that just flashes on screen and does not go to the
inbox is not trapped. Or is there some param i can set to also get it
to trap these ????

Hi Maarten

Is it possible to get these same notifications on a Pocket PC 2002 device?

Thanks

Thanks for that Peter.

I've currently got an eVC++ 3.0 app using MAPI and although it can be set up
correctly using an Advise Sink, it won't actually receive any notifications
of new messages arriving.

Is there any other way for me to receive SMS notifications on PPC 2002?
