    Short Message Service (SMS) handle obtained from calling SmsOpen.

Remarks

If the original message sent resulted in a multipart SMS, then a single status report becomes available after a report has been received for every multipart message. See the description of the SMS_STATUS_INFORMATION structure for details concerning a multipart message status report.

There are two methods for obtaining a status report. One way is to register for status report messages, as with any other provider-specific message type. However, this only allows one entity to receive status messages. The second way is to use the SmsGetMessageStatus function. This allows any entity to read the status message, provided that it has the corresponding message identifier for the original message. Unlike other incoming messages, status messages persist until the status message buffer is full, then the oldest status messages are overwritten. This means multiple applications can receive status message information.

Using dwTimeout to wait for the status message to be received allows an application to call SmsGetMessageStatus immediately after calling SmsSendMessage.
