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.

Hi I have a listbox in a form which has been set on multiselect simple. If I select some of the items on the list on day1, save and exit, and return on day2, the items I selected on day1 do not remain highlighted. How do I ensure that when I return to the form on day2, that the items I selected on day1 are still highlighted? Thanks, Silvia

I have a form with a listview control and a textbox. When I change focus from the listview to the textbox, the highlighted item on the listview loses the highlight. That is not the behavior I need. I am using VB2008 express. I see that the behavior of a similar program in VB6 is the same. When the controls are a listbox and a textbox, the highlighted item remains highlighted when changing focus to the textbox. So I might guess that...

Hi, I recently read an article (and video) on MSDN about making a Windows Mobile device enter unattended mode instead of suspended mode when the the standby/power button is pressed. This allows applications to continue to run instead of effectively pausing them when the screen is turned off. This is achieved by PInvoking PowerPolicyNotify. I have been developing a WM (PocketPC) application for a while now and testing it on my HTC...
