Platforms:

The RSendAsMessage has been introduced in Symbian v9 and greatly simplifies the sending of a short messages (SMS) in C++.

// Link against sendas2.lib
#include <rsendas.h>
#include <rsendasmessage.h>
#include <senduiconsts.h>

...

 // Open a connection with the SendAs server
 RSendAs saSrv;
 saSrv.Connect();
 CleanupClosePushL(saSrv);
       
// Create your message
RSendAsMessage msg;
msg.CreateL(saSrv, KSenduiMtmSmsUid);
CleanupClosePushL(msg);
msg.AddRecipientL(aRecipientNumber,RSendAsMessage::ESendAsRecipientTo);       
msg.SetBodyTextL(aMessageText);
 
// Send the message
msg.SendMessageAndCloseL();
       
// Cleanup
CleanupStack::Pop(&msg);
CleanupStack::PopAndDestroy(&saSrv);

Hi Nil

Yoy can use the CSendAsMessageTypes to query about available messagetypes and also find the human readable form of the message types. See the Symbian docs e.g http://www.symbian.com/developer/techlib/v9.1docs/doc_source/reference/reference-cpp/N1026A/CSendAsMessageTypesClass.html#%3a%3aCSendAsMessageTypes I Guess you can also have a look at where the constant KSenduiMtmSmsUid is defined and look for the mail equivalent.

Also, there is a minor fault in the example. The local RSendAsMessage variable is sometimes called message and sometimes message. But I guess you got that one.

Thanks Eric,

Using this article, now i able to send SMS.

Now i want to read incomming SMS & if that came from any perticular number,
i want to read text body of that sms and write that text in .txt file.

I found couple of examples on this site.
But i just want to know that is there any easier method in Symbian v9 like (easy method for sending sms in symbian V9) "RSendAsMessage".

Thanks
