view pim.vol
- Hi,
Is there a way to view the content of pim.vol file in Windows Mobile phone? What I want to do is to view its content through a Windows Mobile phone app. For example, the sample code HelloSms was able to send SMS, but it cannot tell us which messages are already sent or received. I would like to add features to it so that I can view the messages sent and received in addition. In order to do this, my idea was to simply view the content of pim.vol and display it. But I don't know how to open and view the content of it when writing Windows Mobile code. How would I be able to do this? If this is not the only way, is there another way to view the current SMS information?
Thanks.
Sheri

- Hi,PIM.vol is a database that Microsoft stores the calendar, contacts, tasks and some of the Inbox information in. It is not designed to be read or written to directly. Instead Microsoft has provided APIs to access the data. The APIs are called POOM - Pocket Outlook Object Module - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa914277.aspx

- Hi,
Thanks. I still have another question. I looked at the POOM pages, but it appeared that I could only access the following: IAppointment , ICity , IContact , IException , IExceptions , IFolder , IPOlItems , IPOlRecipient , IPOutlookApp , IPOutlookItemCollection , IRecipient , IRecipients , IRecurrencePattern , ITask , ITimeZone . There isn't anything there that mentioned SMS. I did find the following reference on messaging: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb446118.aspx, although it appeared to only mention how to send and receive messages. I would like to view all the previously sent and received messages as well as being able to send a new message to anybody. Can POOM do that as well?
Thanks.
Sheri
