I am developing an application in Visual Basic for the automated sending of error messages by SMS. It watches a defineable folder for txt files of a given name and then SMSs the contents of said file to the mobile number defined for that name. Multiple names and multiple destinations.
None of that is the problem. I have worked out how to stop and start the Active SMS Server using code but I can't find a way of showing, in my application, the status of the transport. In the screen capture I am trying to get the "Connecting" status to show on my application.
Can this be done? I appreciate that the Active SMS consolecould be left visible to show this but I am trying to make it so that the operator doesn't have to watch too many windows.
