You may need to build an user interface yourself, making use of the Call Log API Alex mentioned.

The "Contact Details" dialog you're referring to is based on the "Contacts Database", not on the clog (phone call history). Apart from the first item "Last Call", which is indeed retrieved by using the APIs Alex mentioned (and that is removed when clearing the call history), the SELECTED item is the last way that contact was contacted and it can be mail\sms\mobile\work\home etc. It's something you can retrieve by using POOM, related to the PIMPR_SMARTPROP property -- see doc at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb415504.aspx: (Remarks) “The Smart Property (PIMPR_SMARTPROP) is the Contact property that contains the property ID of the default communication mode. This becomes the phone number or address displayed on the second line of the two-line display in the Contact list view, and highlighted in the Contact summary tab.”.
