The SMService Hoofddorp is a DLL, with a set of support files free for use. Via the SMService API it is possible to configure the SMService interface. This can be done with, or without user intervension. When letting the user configure the SMService interface, it can be be done via the smsOptions dialog.
The user can also select the gateway which should be used for sending messages. This is a sub function of the dialog smsOptions, or if the user should not be bothered, via the the functions smsGetOptions and smsSetOptions.
The user or the programmer can select that a visible indication of sending in progress should happen, as well as silent sending.
The SMService API comes with a set of support files. One support file is a Control Panel Applet which can be registered so the Control Panel gives the user an easy way of setting the SMService functionallity up.
Other support programs is SMSTray, SMSConfig and SMSMessage.
SMSNew and SMSConfig is programs which calls functions inside the SMService API DLL directly, but the SMSTray program sits itself into the tray, for easy access to the SMService functions.
When sending a message, and the visible-option is selected, a send-window will be visible during a send-session, where the user will be informed about what is happening at any moment during the transmission.
The package also includes other functions, like a standard message input-window, where the user can enter a message and send to one or more persons.
