First things first a disclaimer, the following code is written for Mobile In The Hand (Professional Edition), it does apply equally to a Windows Mobile 5.0 project with the Microsoft.WindowsMobile managed APIs, you’ll just need to change the namespaces and assembly references.
A normal MessageInterceptor is valid only for the lifetime of your application, once you shut down you’ll no longer be able to respond to messages that match your rule. In many cases you’ll want a specific message to launch your application and then process as normal. The IApplicationLauncher interface which MessageInterceptor implements contains methods to set this up. This allows the system to start your application, optionally with command line arguments of your choosing. This is useful so that you can tell when your app was called by an incoming SMS and when launched manually. The following code snippet is called in Form_Load, it checks for an existing registration, if not present it sets up all the required settings. The ApplicationLaunchId is a string which is unique to your application, if you try to register with an id which is already in use you’ll receive an Exception.
if (InTheHand.WindowsMobile.PocketOutlook.MessageInterception.MessageInterceptor.IsApplicationLauncherEnabled(“testapp”))
{
mi = new InTheHand.WindowsMobile.PocketOutlook.MessageInterception.MessageInterceptor(“testapp”);
}
else
{
mi = new InTheHand.WindowsMobile.PocketOutlook.MessageInterception.MessageInterceptor(InTheHand.WindowsMobile.PocketOutlook.MessageInterception.InterceptionAction.NotifyAndDelete);
mi.MessageCondition = new InTheHand.WindowsMobile.PocketOutlook.MessageInterception.MessageCondition(InTheHand.WindowsMobile.PocketOutlook.MessageInterception.MessageProperty.Body, InTheHand.WindowsMobile.PocketOutlook.MessageInterception.MessagePropertyComparisonType.StartsWith, “test:”, false);
mi.EnableApplicationLauncher(“testapp”,“Program FilesInterceptorTestInterceptorTest.exe”);
}
mi.MessageReceived += new InTheHand.WindowsMobile.PocketOutlook.MessageInterception.MessageInterceptorEventHandler(mi_MessageReceived);
Finally the event handler just displays the message body in a MessageBox:-
void mi_MessageReceived(object sender, InTheHand.WindowsMobile.PocketOutlook.MessageInterception.MessageInterceptorEventArgs e)
{
MessageBox.Show(((InTheHand.WindowsMobile.PocketOutlook.SmsMessage)e.Message).Body, “Message”);
}
