I'm assuming this is the same for all WM5 devices, but I'm more likely to get an answer here than anywhere else.
Is there an application that will let me have contact list groups for SMS sending? it would make my life a LOT easier.

Hi,
I want some information about default phone application cprog.exe.
I want to know how does it communicate with outlook and other application.
I guess most probably it should be via message posting.
But, unfortunately wheni tested the same with spy running on cprog and then i called a contact from outlook contacts.
I see many messages posted to cprog but I found no message or Parameter(WPARAM/LPARAM) to cprog that contains the number to call.
can anyone help me out to get information how to fetch that number? the number passed to phone/cprog.exe from contact.
The same thing i need for sddialer.exe that after matching the sound tag, how it informs cprog that which number to call?
Please help! I am looking these since long...
Good Luck
Best of luck trying to find any doco on cprog (if you do, please post back here!).
If you have a look at this thread you may find what you are looking for (at least how to initiate a call from the PC is there):

Look for LINE_REQUEST message
There a two ways, that an application can make a call; using tapiRequestMakeCall or lineMakeCall. tapiRequestMakeCall is by far the simplest to use. Examples of their use can be found in two sample cellcore progams available from microsoft, CeDialer, and HelloTapi. You could try this and see which produces messages simular to outlook. I'll guess that it's HelloTapi (tapiRequestMakeCall).
When an application uses tapiRequestMakeCall a LINE_REQUEST message is sent to the call-control application. This application must then call lineGetRequest to get information on the request. It then must execute the request.
See the remarks on the lineRegisterRequestRecipient page at microsoft
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms736043.aspx
I wish there was a similar Hello USSD example for the lineSendUSSD API. There's very little information on it... No one seems to be able to capture the responses past the first call.
oops missed part of your question
After the call app places the call, it should get a series of messages, mostly LINE_CALLINFO and LINE_CALLSTATE. The messages contain a handle for the call. Once you have the call handle you should be use the lineGetCallInfo and lineGetCallState functions to get info about the call. I think lineGetCallInfo includes the number that was called. The callstate typically goes through dialling, progressing, and then connected. I believe your not supposed to use the call handle until after a LINE_REPLY message is sent, saying the call didn't fail. If there are problems perhaps you should wait a short time.
To find out more about the messages, you could play with the CeDialer sample. It's linecallbackfunc looks at the messages, it would be easy to put in a few logging statements to see what's in each message. It think CeDialer will only get messages for inbound calls, and calls that it originated. (not ones by cprog.) Although you should check to be sure that I'm correct.
Good luck! Please, let us know whatever you might find out.
Hi,
I will look into this and post reply according As soon as possible.
Thanks
Where i can find the original cprog.exe to install in my non phone PDA? it's the dialer for voip.
Many thanks
I would like to create a shortcut to a specific contact so that clicking on it takes you to the details page of that particular contact from where you can then choose how to contact that person (email, text, mobile phone, home phone, work phone).
So I've been messing with an lnk file:
1000#\Windows\poutlook.exe contacts ...
I tried -new as a command line parameter, and that works. I cannot figure out how to go to a specific contact. Then I found this discouraging thread:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa454208.aspx
There must be some way to do this. HTC Home has a similar function in their contacts tab. When you tap and hold a contact it takes you to that contact's detail page.
My end goal is to incorporate this into Mortbuttons ... I want a menu of favorite contacts, so when I click on any one, it takes me to the page where I can choose how to contact them. I'm surprised this doesn't exist, because that is the most intuitive way to do things. First you think of whom you want to contact, and only THEN do you think of how to contact them.
The challenge is up!
here's how its done
20#"\Windows\cprog.exe"-url tel: 0000000
that doesn't work. that calls the given phone number. I am looking for a link to a person's contact entry in Contacts. Please read my post above carefully.
I'd be interested in that as well. Anyone?
Wrote it already in my forum, but just in case...
I don't know of any way to do this from command line.
There is a way to show the contact page with COM/POOM (interface for programmers), which will be implemented in the upcoming MortButtons beta (probably tonight - CET).
It wasn't available so far because I still use eVC4 (because it's free and allows more easy support of systems up to including WM2003SE), which doesn't support new features of WM5 (like contact info page, contact image, contact ringtone, etc.) without some workarounds...
In the Sim manager there is an Edit Group but I cannot find anything that will let me add a group, is there anything that will let me group contacts?
My purpose is to be able to just select the group when I am sending an SMS and it will send the SMS to all the members of that group instead of me selecting all the contacts.
Thanks!
Someone has mentioned about PowerSMS on another forum but it is not free, anyone who has another suggestion?
TIA
Inesoft Phone
Dialer
Dialer makes the usage of the main phone features easy and quick: dial a number, send a message, search a person or add a new contact to your address book. Save your time using Inesoft Dialer on your Windows Mobile phone.
Video Tutorial
One touch
Buttons are big enough and the interface is designed so that you could type with fingers and not to use stylus. Make a call, send a new SMS, add any information about the contact in one touch
T9 Search
If you have a lot of contacts, use the search feature to quickly find a certain person. The information is searched through all the main info fields and through the comments or notes. That's why it is very easy to find a contact when you remember information partly
Visualization
Upload a photo for the each contact in your address book. The photo will be displayed when you receive or make a call. Photos will be also displayed at your Favorite list, after the successful search of the contact is fnished.
Connection notification
Making a call your phone will give a light vibro-signal, notifying you about the successful connection. Thus you do not need to look at the display and check the connection. Double vibro-signal will let you know that the number you are trying to reach is busy.

Don't just purchase the software because I referred this application, take the trial. I haven't fully tried this application in regards to categories...
I use GroupSMS, which is free:

Works great on the Xperia. You determine the people in a group by editing their contact details and selecting their 'categories'.
You can't do this from manilla if you use it, you have to go to the old windows mobile contact view.
Thank you to all the developers on this site. It has answered already most of my queries that I had upon receiving my new HTC Diamond 2.
I am very happy with the device and using some of the tweaks and programs the phone is now nearly set up exactly how I want it.
However there is one feature that I think is missing. As standard the HTC D2 will allow a call to be rejected and a standard text message be sent. But this will be sent to all callers.
I do not want to spend money sending a sms to cold callers for example. Just wondering if it would be possible to create an application that could expand on the standard function.
Some ideas for the app would be:
Send sms only to contacts in the address book that are included in a catergory or multiple catergories.
Send a different sms depending on the catergory of the contact.
Set up profiles to define the reason for not answering call, eg in meeting, driving, sleeping etc
Of cause the above list is not exhaustive.
Would like peoples opinions on this function and whether some one would be able to create. I would of course offer to test the app. Sorry do not have the current skills to create the app.
In advance thanks for reading this message and for replies.
Is it possible to merge the call history per contact?
I'd like to be able to scroll through recent calls initially only per contacts, and get the individual call history per contact under the contact details.
I haven't found a setting to change this and no post either.
yes, this is a bit anal, but also quite annoying.
anybody able to help?
cheers!

man, i dont even have enough calls on my phone to be able to test this out. not sure if this is sad or awesome (strong defense point on the latter as i talk on the phone a TON for my job and hate talking on the phone outside of my required workload as a result)
Yes I can see how talking to the same people makes that easier.
If I remember correctly I think my old iPhone 5 did this by default.
Scratching my head...
There may be apps that allow you to do that. I would check the play store. I used to have an app that allowed different kinds of sorting and views, but I don't remember what it was.
