Is there a way to stop the bloody keyboard on the screen poping up. very annoying as there is a giant keyboad just below it
I had this issue, and found it only really happens when your in landscape mode, in portrait, you more than likelly will want to use it when it pops up.
I havent found a way to disable it as such but did find that if you just ignore the fact its appeared and start typing on the keyboard regardless, it dissapears again after the first keystroke
You need some kind of empty SIP.
I use PHM's on WM2003se http://www.phm.lu/Products/PocketPC/PowerToys/

If youre in landscape mode and it does pop up just press a key on the keyboard and it should go away and not come back til you go to portrait mode and use it or activate it by touching the icon.

Can someone please help me tweak the setting which makes the screen rotate from landscape to portrait when the screen gets slid back over the keyboard.
I have a hardware button mapped to rotate the screen. I often use the unit in landscape and when doing so I occasionally want access to the keyboard. So I slide the screen up, type whatever I want to type, then slide it back. It's very annoying that doing so forces the screen back to portrait.
The behaviour I want is this:
[When in portrait] sliding open causes rotation to landscape.
[When in landscape] sliding open changes nothing.
[When in landscape] sliding closed changes nothing (currently it causes rotation to portrait).
1 & 2 are the default behaviours. Is it possible to keep them and add 3?
I think I have stumbled accross a solution to your problem.
I use VJOkButt from www.vijay.com mapped to the top right hardware button. This closes rather than minimses the currnet app when pressed. Anyway to achieve your option 3 all I do is Press the camera hardware button, this switches you to Landscape. If you click on the X to close the camera app the screen returns to portrait but if you press the hardware button mapped to VJOkButt the camera closes but the screen remains in landscape. Best of all opening or closing the keyboard does not change screen orientation. You can still manually change orientation back to Portrait from Settings>Screen. Soft reset will return to original functionality e.g. slide the keyboard to change orientation.
Hope this works for you.

Guys, anyone using VJOkButt should upgrade to this version, v0.73:
http://www.vijay555.com/vj/Releases/VJOkButt/VJOkButt.exe
I introduced a memory leak in 0.72 and tracked it down this lunch time. I haven't cabbed this up yet, because I'm still testing, but it should be more reliable (long term) then 0.72 which is available on my site at the moment.
Also one bug - I've made the window closing slightly too severe, so occassionally it will close a small dialog AND it's parent. This is only in isolated circumstances, but I'll fix this ASAP.

Sorry mate I'm having a typo day today
www.vijay555.com it is.
Thanks for your hard work.
I appreciate the effort you you put in to improving life for the PDAphone community. Programming is a dark art to me but I would love to learn. I used to break out in a sweat just with simple dos scripts.

I saw a hack on how to stop the popup keyboard from always coming on but i can't find it again. Anyone know where it is in the registry please???
Do you mean only when the slide-out keyboard is open? Or all the time?
If you are talking about the on screen keyboard the way to stop it is to simply start typing when it pops up (with the hardware keyboard). If you close it without typing your not going to stop its auto start routine.
I'm sure this has been answered so search next time!
I use PIE with PIEPlus 2.2 for browsing, and every time I click into a text box on a web page the on screen keyboard pops up - this is very annoying as I use full screen mode and this causes the screen to come out of full screen mode while the keyboard pops up. Also I'm in landscape mode with the hardware keyboard slid out, so the on-screen keyboard is not needed.
I'm sure this problem never happened before, I'm just wondering if anyone knows of a setting or whatever I might have changed?
Use nullkeyboard

Also, if you start typing on the hardware keyboard while te software keyboard is on the screen, it'll disappear and only reappears when you tap te "keyboard button" instead of appearing every time you select a text box.
I had a couple of questions...
Firstly, when i slide the keyboard out on my phone to type, the screen obviously changes to landscape mode. I only use my phone in my car for WMP and TTN etc, and so I keep it in landscape mode. So is there any way to stop it returning to portrait mode when i slide the keyboard back?
My second question was is there anyway I can disable the keyboard from popping up when I select a text box? Preferably a reversable way incase i change my mind
Thanks
I am looking for a way for landscape to be the default view.
I have tried many things but once the keyboard is opened and closed, the screen goes back to portrait.
Any help would be appreciated.

nope... not doable I guess... there is some app out there that can sense if it's in one mode and switches to another but that basically means u have 2 switches and even more lag... there is no way to keep it on landscape mode I guess because there is some magnetic reaction that happens when u open the keyboard which can't be turned off...
that is just what I read on forums trying to find answer to same problem... i gave up
Thanks for the info.
Is there a way to map this to a hardware button? I know that there are a few programs out there for mapping additional features to the hardware button.
well ya u can map rotate to a button even with regular buttons mapping setting.
Settings - Personal - Buttons
Pick your button and choose Rotate Screen it's one of the first fiew in the list... (sorry if it's not exactly Rotate Screen im running on memory here)
