MfcSMS v1.05

Welcome to MfcSMS, a collection of MFC classes to send SMS messages via your mobile phone / cellphone.

For the code to operate, you will need to have a phone attached to a serial port on the PC (or the software which comes with the phone must create a virtual serial port if connected via USB, Bluetooth, IrDA etc) and the phone must support the extended Hayes commands used to send an SMS message. Specifically the code uses the following commands: "AT", "AT+CSMS", "AT+CMGF" and "AT+CMGS". The classes internally converts any string data presented to it to the GSM 7 bit or UCS2 alphabets. For further information about SMS, have a look at http://www.dreamfabric.com/sms/ from which the code is based.

Features

• Simple and clean C++ interface.
• All the code is UNICODE compliant and build configurations are provided for this.
• Will work with almost all mobile phones which support being connected to a PC.
• Will work with extended characters as well as the usual upper and lowercase Latin letters and numbers.
• Supports sending Unicode SMS Messages.

The enclosed zip file contains the source code and a simple test program to exercise all of the classes.

Updates

V1.0 (31 October 2002)

• Initial public release.

V1.01 (8 November 2002)

• Now uses "\r" consistently as terminator when sending AT commands to the mobile.
• The exception class nows use HRESULT based error values instead of SDK style GetLastError error codes. This allows user defined error codes to be more easily defined.

V1.02 (12 March 2005)

• Addition of a CSMSSerialPort::GetLastResponse method. This last response is now also included in CSMSExceptions when necessary. Thanks to Serhiy Pavlov for suggesting this addition.
• Write timeouts are now also applied in Set0ReadTimeout which is called by CSMSSerialPort::Open.

V1.03 (26 March 2005)

• Now calls SetDCB upon opening the port to ensure it is put in a valid state and baud rate. This helps fix problems with some mobile phone models. Thanks to Serhiy Pavlov for reporting this problem. 
• Open method now allows an explicit baud rate to be specified.
• General tidy up of the exception throwing code

V1.04 (9 July 2006)

• Updated copyright details.
• Code now uses newer C++ style casts instead of C style casts.
• Optimized CSMSMessage constructor code
• Replaced calls to ZeroMemory with memset
• Optimized CSMSSerialPort constructor code
• CSMSSerialPort is no longer derived from CObject as it was not really required
• Code now uses SEVERITY_ERROR define for MAKE_HRESULT calls.
• Renamed AfxThrowSMSException to ThrowSMSException and made it part of the CSMSSerialPort class.
• Updated the code to clean compile on VC 2005
• Removed EnumSerialPorts module from download
• Updated sample app to warn user when it cannot find any serial ports on start-up

V1.05 (3 August 2008)

• Updated copyright details.
• Removed VC 6 style classwizard comments from the sample app.
• Updated the sample app to clean compile on VC 2008
• Sample app now uses CEnumerateSerial::UsingSetupAPI1 to enumerate serial ports
• Sample app now displays the friendly name of the port also
• Updated code to compile correctly using _ATL_CSTRING_EXPLICIT_CONSTRUCTORS define
• Reworked the exception class to be in line with the other exception classes of the author.
• Code now compiles cleanly using Code Analysis (/analyze)
• The code now only supports VC 2005 or later.
• Internally the code now opens the serial port in overlapped mode
• Removed the Attach and Detach methods.
• Increased the default timeout to 15 seconds.
• Added support for the sending using the UCS2 alphabet. Thanks to Andrew Komiagin for this very nice addition.
