Some VB.Net Pointers

[fergie_uk]

Hello to the developers,

I've just started to write some today screens for my own enjoyment but am stuck on how to launch lets say the phone application or perhaps the SMS folder, i have some notification graphics which say for example i have some unread SMS's i want to click on the SMS notification and load up SMS folder.

I hope i have made sence.

Look forward to a response.

Anyone?

I've tried google but i guess i'm not typing the right stuff in.

not sure if it's still the case but not long agoe
today items was one of the things you could not program
in .net you had to use pure win32 and or microMFC
not sure about the older and more evil vb flavours

if you do a search in the development and hacking forum
for something like
today item
you are sure to get tons of stuff about it

Thanx for your reply but its not a real today plugin but more of a complete shell i guess, the problem i have is i want to be able to open up default containers when i click on my buttons, i.e.

If i select my missed calls button i want to go to phone log missed calls.
If i select my unread SMS button then it opens up the SMS container

etc..

I cant find any documentation on how to open up the standard containers.

there ought to be a "shell" command in. Net CF, to basically launch outside apps. You will find most of the apps like ie, SMS etc in windows folder or in program files folder

I think u can P/Invoke ShellExecuteEx().
check out MSDN docs for P/Invoke or google.
