I'm considering to use CPbkContactEngine in my application (c++, s60). Among other things I need to search all contacts and display them in multiselect list box. CContactViewBase & AllContactsView () sounds handy, but I can't find CContactViewBase from anywhere. No help, no header file... Does anyone know, how to use it or where to find help?

Hi Tanja,

I'm trying to use CPbkContactEngine to read and write contacts. I wonder if you had been successful with CPbkContactEngine. Documentation is scarce. All there is to it is the SDK source code.

Best regards,
Costya

Hmmm, i guess no one knows how to use it then ?

Cause i also had a look at it, and nothing.
So please if any of u 2, or anyone else found a solution for this.

I'd be very gratefull.

Thx,
Corne.

Ran into a similar scenario. Googled a bit and came across a project called "ContSync" on symbian.com [ http://www.symbian.com/developer/techlib/apps/contsync.html ] which led me to develop this prototype code (i.e. no error checking):


	CContactDatabase *db = CContactDatabase::OpenL();
	TContactIter *iter = new TContactIter(*db);	int i, count = 0;
	for ( i = iter->FirstL(); i != KNullContactId; i = iter->NextL() ) 
	{
		count++;
	}

Hope this helps,
