Cell Broadcast in Today Screen

Hi,

For my i-mate K-JAM (HTC Wizard, WM 5.0), I'm working on a Today Screen plugin which gives me some simple items of information, namely:

1) Signal Strength
2) Battery Remaining
3) Latest Cell Broadcast message

While I've got #1 and #2 working, I'm flummoxed on #3. The SMS API certainly gives some structures etc. for the Cell Broadcast messages, I don't know which functions to use to obtain that info from the OS. Can anyone guide me towards the right API/source of CB information

Note 1: Cell Broadcast is enabled from the Settings dialogs and I do get the Cell Broadcast "notifications, which I manually dismiss. What I'm looking for is a continuous display of the latest CB on the Today Screen

Note 2: I'm obviously looking for a C++ based solution, as it's not possible (atleast not easy) to run .NET code in the Today Screen plugins. The C# solution of using the System property values is great for standalone apps, however not for this.

Note 3: The registry entry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\STATE\Phone\Cell Broadcast seems to be missing.

Cell Broadcast is heavily used (in the cities) here in India and it works in almost all modern cell-phones (non Windows Mobile) by just displaying the latest message on the screen (which is what I want).

Any suggestions

Regards,
CUGWMUI
