SmsOpen (Windows Embedded CE 6.0)

1/6/2010

Use this function to open the Short Message Service (SMS) Messaging component for send and/or receive access. If the specified provider cannot support the requested action (read or write), then the call to SmsOpen will return an error.

Syntax

HRESULT SmsOpen (
    const LPCTSTR      ptsMessageProtocol,
    const DWORD        dwMessageModes,
    const SMS_HANDLE*  psmshHandle,
    const HANDLE*      phMessageAvailableEvent);

Parameters

• ptsMessageProtocol
  Points to a string that indicates which SMS protocol to use.

• dwMessageModes
  The send and/or receive mode. This parameter can be any combination of the following values:

  Value	Description
  SMS_MODE_RECEIVE	Receive mode.
  SMS_MODE_SEND	Send mode.

• psmshHandle
  If SmsOpen returns successfully, this parameter is an SMS handle to use for subsequent read/write commands.

• phMessageAvailableEvent
  A Microsoft® Win32® event handle that is signaled when a new message is available to be read. Applications may wait on this handle by calling suitable Win32 APIs (WaitForSingleObject, MsgWaitForMultipleObjects, and so on), but should NOT use this handle with any other APIs (SetEvent, ResetEvent, and so on). Do not call CloseHandle on this event handle (that task will be performed by SmsClose).

Return Value

This method returns the standard values E_INVALIDARG, E_OUTOFMEMORY, E_UNEXPECTED, and E_FAIL, as well as the following:

• S_OK
  The method completed successfully.

For information about additional return values, see SMS Specific Errors.

Remarks

Multiple clients can open an SMS handle for sending a specific SMS message type, but only one client can have a handle open for reading at a time. The event handle created by this function call should be waited on only — do not call any other event functions on this event handle. The event handle will be closed on calling SmsClose. Behavior is undefined if the user destroys this event instead of SmsClose.
