These code snippets are used to detect the SMS in the outbox using the inbox module in PySymbian.
Article Metadata
The two methods are as below
Method 1
#import inbox and messaging
import inbox
import messaging
#Body of the detecting function
def detect(id):
global outbox
outbox.delete(id)
# send msg again
outbox=Inbox(inbox.EOutbox)
outbox.bind(detect)
Method 2
#import inbox and messaging
import inbox
import messaging
outbox=Inbox(inbox.EOutbox)
# send msg code
# messages in outbox ?
if outbox.sms_messages() is not None:
# delete all outbox messages !
for m in outbox.sms_messages():
outbox.delete(m)
# send msg again
Cuijartija - Method 1 seem doesnt work !
I tested both methods and the metod 1 not work for me, however the method 2 works well, we can easily simulate the "event" in method 1 pooling the outbox.sms_messages() with a "while" instead "if", remember sleep between cicles !!!cuijartija 16:24, 22 October 2011 (EEST)

Croozeus - Making Method 1 work
Hi Cuijartija,
Yes, you need a time.sleep in the handler to avoid the race condition.
It is explained well here for the Inbox and should work likewise for the Outbox. http://www.developer.nokia.com/Community/Wiki/Python_on_Symbian/06._Telephony_and_Messaging#Receiving_Messages
Please let me know if it works, so we can add it here.
Thanks,
