what do you mean by sms counter application? Is it a universal name for some kind of application? please tell me i want to know. Remember one thing always be specific on your problem .

If you want to count the SMS-s in your Inbox, the following snippet may already do that

CMsvSession *session=CMsvSession::OpenSyncL(*this);
CleanupStack::PushL(session);
CMsvEntrySelection *selection=new(ELeave)CMsvEntrySelection;
CleanupStack::PushL(selection);
CMsvEntryFilter *filter=CMsvEntryFilter::NewLC();
filter->SetMtm(KUidMsgTypeSMS);
session->GetChildIdsL(KMsvGlobalInBoxIndexEntryId,*filter,*selection);
TInt count=selection->Count();
CleanupStack::PopAndDestroy(3); // filter, selection, session

and count will contain the number of SMS-s in the Inbox.

Well you just need to modify the code by wiz to use KMsvGlobalOutBoxIndexEntryId for reading messages in the outbox and KMsvSentEntryId for reading from the sent folder.

Note that there is a setting in the Messaging application which limits the number of messages saved in the Sent folder.

ok. thx guys. but wat if i deleted some sent msg , will it affect e counter?

[mayankkedia]

Yes it will, coz the counter will read only what is there in those folders,maybe you can write a watcher which notifies you when a message has been deleted/is being deleted from the sent folder, though I havent written code for this one so I am not sure how that would work, but something worth trying.

[CLX21]

ok. but i do not know how to do a watcher. do u have example?

[CLX21]

need help for a sent sms watcher that mointer sent sms.

Track/log events in HandleSessionEventL, and you will see what events you get when sending an SMS.

[CLX21]

hi, i have place some codes in HandleSessionEventL but is not working. need help. thx.

case EMsvEntriesMoved:
			{
			// Entry id is obtained from the session event arguments.
			TMsvId* entryId = STATIC_CAST( TMsvId*, aArg2 );
			// We are interested in messages that are moved to Sent Item Folder
			if (*entryId == KMsvSentEntryId)
				{
						CAknGlobalNote* dialog = CAknGlobalNote::NewLC();
						TBuf<250> msg;
						msg.Append(_L("Sent"));
						dialog->ShowNoteL(EAknGlobalInformationNote, msg);
				}
			break;
			}

is this right?

When I suggested "Track/log events", I meant getting a debugger or creating a logfile and checking what was happening. Instead of that you decided to try a single possible combination out of many. You say it does not work, and I have no reason to doubt your words.
