ValidateMessage() seems to be too strict
In order to run the treasure application from the 9210 SDK (subdirectory NokiaEx), I had to neutralize the test iSmsMtm->ValidateMessage(validationFlags) for the application to work. ValidateMessage() function and TMsvPartList datatype are not documented. Can you explain what was wrong with the example?

ValidateMessage() & TMsvPartList are documented in the Crytal6.0.2.chm help file (installed with the 1.1 SDK) and can be found by searching for CBaseMtm & TMsvPartList respectively.

We have built the Treasure app and tested it on a 9210 and it seems to work fine.

The ValidateMessage() tries to validate the given message context. The precise validation performed is specific to the MTM, but, typically, checks that the specified message parts are well-formed.
