How To Read the MIF files of other applications

I was asked to develop an application which reads all the application MIF files that are on the phone and see if the license type is Subsciption or 1 time purchase and keep track of that information, which can be used later by the carrier to update the new devise with the application when a customer changes handset. Is this possible to this. If so, how can I achieve this.

try ISHELL_EnumAppletInit(IShell * pIShell)
and ISHELL_EnumNextApplet(IShell * pIShell, AEEAppInfo * pai)

The api gives the enumeration of all the application. The AEEAppInfo has a pszMIF which actually gives the app resource instead of MIF. What I am looking is the info in MIF file itself, more specifically what kind of license it has. Also, is the wIDBase is the id which I can use if I have to use mobileshop to get to the item?

No wBaseID is an offset into the info into AEEAppInfo to get information. See AEEShell.h and...

Code:

//
// Standard Applet Resource Offsets - These offsets begin at AEEAppInfo.wIDBase.
//
#define IDR_NAME_OFFSET          0
#define IDR_ICON_OFFSET          1
#define IDR_IMAGE_OFFSET         2
#define IDR_THUMB_OFFSET         3
#define IDR_SETTINGS_OFFSET      4
#define IDR_VERSION_OFFSET       5
#define IDR_ENVIRONMENT_OFFSET   6
#define IDR_OFFSET_STEP          20

//
// Applet Resource Macros
//
#define APPR_NAME(ai)         (uint16)(((ai).wIDBase + IDR_NAME_OFFSET))
#define APPR_ICON(ai)         (uint16)(((ai).wIDBase + IDR_ICON_OFFSET))
#define APPR_IMAGE(ai)        (uint16)(((ai).wIDBase + IDR_IMAGE_OFFSET))
#define APPR_THUMB(ai)        (uint16)(((ai).wIDBase + IDR_THUMB_OFFSET))
#define APPR_SETTINGS(ai)     (uint16)(((ai).wIDBase + IDR_SETTINGS_OFFSET))
#define APPR_VERSION(ai)      (uint16)(((ai).wIDBase + IDR_VERSION_OFFSET))
#define APPR_ENVIRONMENT(ai)  (uint16)(((ai).wIDBase + IDR_ENVIRONMENT_OFFSET))

wBaseID

Thank you. How do I exactly use these MACROS after getting the applet info. If I want to get the NAME of the application how do I do this. Is there any way to get to read MIF file itself.

No License Info

The thread above talks about how to get the applent name, icon, image, version etc. What I am looking is to get to the licensing information, more importantly the application is a subscription based or non subscription based. Any idea what exactly is IDR_SETTINGS_OFFSET for?

IDR_SETTINGS_OFFSET && IDR_ENVIRONMENT_OFFSET

Hi,

I'm reading information from the .mif file. I would like to know what do IDR_ENVIRONMENT_OFFSET and IDR_SETTINGS_OFFSET stands for?
I mean, what do environment infomation and setting information include?

Regards,
Tsoofit
