Today one of my readers, Paul Diston, made the following request.
Hi, I have another idea you might be interested in. I would like to be able to type in a single SMS message and then hit the send button which would then send the same message to all my contacts that have a mobile number specified.
Thanks
Paul Diston
The thing that I really liked about Paul's suggestion is that is cover two very important mobile development topics: one is working with contacts stored in Outlook Mobile, and the other is working with SMS messaging.
I changed it a little bit from Paul's original request. I decided to incorporate a filter into the application. This way you can send SMS messages to your personal contacts, or your business contacts. You could even create a custom category. I didn't include an option to select contacts that do not have a category assigned to them. This would be a great modification for a reader to implement. Simply add a '' item to the list, and if that item is selected add any contact that doesn't have a category.
I added a ListView so that users could see the contacts they were about to text message. Another great enhancement, would be the ability to modify this listing. Just a remove option would be a great addition in functionality.
One feature I added as a polishing touch, was the live character count feature. This feature lets users know how much more text they can send. And we have found another opportunity for improvement here. I limit the text to 160 characters, but if someone entered in more text we could send X number of text messages until the complete message was delivered.
Next with have our SMS Message TextBox where we can type the message we will send. Nothing special here, but I didn't set a MaxLength of 160 characters.
At the bottom I exposed the RequestDeliveryReport property of the SmsMessage class. What ever the user picks here will be assigned to that property.
One feature that I really love about Windows Mobile programming, that especially came in useful for this application was the Cellular Emulator.
