HI.
I am a reasonably experienced VB6 programmer and I'm starting to write programs for Windows CE (Pocket PCs specifically) using eMbedded VB.
I've got it linked up and I have written several simple programs and run them on the Pocket PC and it works OK.
This Pocket PC receives SMS messages. Normally, it beeps and it pops it in the Outlook Inbox.
Now, I need to know when an SMS message comes in, because part of the project I'm working on requires that my own personal program be able to snatch up the SMS message, fiddle around with it, and actually reply to it under certain circumstances.
I'm guessing one way to do this is by getting the program to poll the Outlook Inbox every 2 seconds or so for new messages. Then when it needs to reply it goes through Outlook's outbox again.
What do you think? Is there a better way of doing this? (Using interupts rather than polling for example?)
thanks for your help,
-Sleepy
