If you want to record the call as it comes in, then you can use the
SystemState class:
In your constructor:
Microsoft.WindowsMobile.Status.SystemState state = new
Microsoft.WindowsMobile.Status.SystemState(Microsoft.WindowsMobile.Status.SystemProperty.PhoneIncomingCallerNumber);
state.Changed += new
Microsoft.WindowsMobile.Status.ChangeEventHandler(state_Changed);
Then use the class to get the phone number:
void state_Changed(object sender,
Microsoft.WindowsMobile.Status.ChangeEventArgs args)
{
string phoneNumber = (string)args.NewValue;
MessageBox.Show(phoneNumber);
}
This will give you the caller id phone number.
You can also use the call log API's to retrieve the call log:
Here are the dll imports needed:
[StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential)]
public struct CALLLOGENTRY
{
public UInt32 cbSize;
public UInt64 ftStartTime;
public UInt64 ftEndTime;
public short iom;
public bool fOutgoing;
public bool fConnected;
public bool fEnded;
public bool fRoam;
public short cidt;
public IntPtr pszNumber;
public IntPtr pszName;
public IntPtr pszNameType;
public IntPtr pszNote;
};
[DllImport("phone.dll", EntryPoint = "PhoneOpenCallLog", SetLastError = true)]
private static extern int PhoneOpenCallLog(ref IntPtr pHandle);
[DllImport("phone.dll", EntryPoint = "PhoneCloseCallLog",
SetLastError = true)]
private static extern int PhoneCloseCallLog(IntPtr pHandle);
[DllImport("phone.dll", EntryPoint = "PhoneGetCallLogEntry",
SetLastError = true)]
private static extern int PhoneGetCallLogEntry(IntPtr pHandke, ref
CALLLOGENTRY pEntry);
You can then get the call log entries using the following:
private void menuItem6_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
IntPtr handle = IntPtr.Zero;
CALLLOGENTRY entry = new CALLLOGENTRY();
PhoneOpenCallLog(ref handle);
entry.cbSize = (uint)Marshal.SizeOf(entry);
if (handle != IntPtr.Zero)
{
listView.Items.Clear();
listView.Columns[0].Width = this.Width;
while (PhoneGetCallLogEntry(handle, ref entry) == 0)
{
string phoneNumber =
Marshal.PtrToStringUni(entry.pszNumber);
string name = Marshal.PtrToStringUni(entry.pszName);
if (name == null)
{
name = string.Empty;
}
ListViewItem item = new ListViewItem(string.Format("{0}
{1}", phoneNumber, name));
listView.Items.Add(item);
}
PhoneCloseCallLog(handle);
}
else
{
int error = Marshal.GetLastWin32Error();
}
}
I hope this helps.
