    How to get highlighted item from windows mobile contact details screen

    Hi,
    I m working on viewing detials for a contact in windows mobile through my
    application.

    I am able to display the native contact details screen in my application.

    But i am not able to get the highlighted item from that screen.

    Please give a hint on this, how it can be done?

    Thanks in advance.

    What way have you invoked the contacts screen? Just launching outlook then accessing the contacts data?

      Usually when you first access a field in your outlook contacts on a Windows Mobile device it is highlighted, you can then press the menu button and copy the selection.

      Is that what you are looking to do?

        Thanks for the reply.

        when i open a summary card for a contact in windows mobile.
        (can be opened from our own apllication).

        it shows me the details for that contact. and it gives me list showing Mobile Number, Work Number, Work2 and many more.

        I have added a menu to this screen (my own menu item).

        When user select that menu, i want to know the which field in that summary screen is highlighted.

        As i want to make a call to that highlighted number when user presses my menu.

        thanks, Rahul.

          I have invoked the summary screen(contact details showing screen in WM) by using IContact::Displ ay() method.

          when i open a summary card for a contact in windows mobile.
          (can be opened from our own apllication).

          it shows me the details for that contact. and it gives me list showing Mobile Number, Work Number, Work2 and many more.
