Hello,
I have started using the SmallMenu Plus instead of the windows Start menu and also using the smartskey to trigger the SmallMenu button which is working properly. But when the SmallMenu is showing up on the screen and the right soft key is pressed (to close the smallmenu menu/window) the SmallMenu application itself is closed. I understand that the smartskey.ini file has some parameters for ignore application. Can someone enlighten me to what parameters are to be modified to make this work?
Thanks

I am using the smartkey program to hold the softkeys to enter startscreen.
Now I am looking for an option or a program to copy/paste and to put it under the message button.
Or does anybody knows a program that only gives the option to cut/copy/paste.
With this my phone would be perfectly tunned.

If the context menu of the program contains copy and paste, you can hold the center key of the 5-ways navigator to popup the context menu.

Hi Water,
Thanks, but not all programs have that option. That's why I like to have a program like that.
Right now i'm using Magicbutton but that doesn't have that function. GSMagic had it but I like Magicbutton better. So now I need the copy/past function.
You can try Xbar which is under the D-Pad. It opens up a screen in which you can select the running task but also shortcuts to programs of your liking and there are shortcuts ready for copy and paste and cut.

You can use PQz to map a hardware key (I use the Windows-key) to CTRL, so that you can use ctrl-c, ctrl-v etc.

I think... just speculating here.. that they are more looking for...
press button - it copies whatever is the active selection
press button again - it pastes whatever is on the clipboard
Not sure, though... ctrl+c / ctrl+v works with the SIP, with that tool it works with the hardware keyboard, and if you're working with the sip - and thus a stylus - you can often just tap-and-hold and choose copy from the context menu.
PHM Keys comes with cut copy paste.
Use a button mapper to do as ZeBoxx says, if it's what you need, and you'll have quick access to said functions.

Thanks,
I'm using PQZ now. With TAB as CTRL. WIN would not work together with smartkey, because hold button 1 is the same hex number as WIN.
But this program is realy good.
My Solution to this...
I have a slightly hacked up copy of PHM Keys (couldn't get it to install on my 8125, so I hacked it off of a WM2003 device) that I'm using to solve this problem.
In my Start Menu I have three icons - "Object Copy", "Object Cut", and "Object Paste" (PHM Keys) so whenever I have something highlighted I click my (smartskey modified) Start Menu soft button, scroll down a slot or three with the 5-way, and select the copy/cut/paste operation I need.
When the KB is open it's even quicker Start-o Start-b Start-j respectively. Another plus is this works in nearly EVERY situation where you can highlight something. Sometimes the other options (context menus, SIP kbds, etc.) don't work everywhere.
Now some may not want to waste three Start Menu slots, but I have Tray launch filled with my apps, still have 4 Start Menu slots available, and all my non-soft buttons are mapped to one app or another, so I'm cool with them.
Plus I have my SIP pop-up KB completely disabled (I hate it's "intrusiveness" and only use the HW KB in landscape mode) so in portrait mode I had *NO* way to copy/cut/paste and had to devise something.
Good Luck

I've updated VJKeyPress to add -cut, -copy, -paste.

I just press/hold the left key to close the menu rather than the right key. I've been using this combo since SmartsKey came out and never noticed the problem! I assume you could add to the Ignore list.
Open smartskey.ini in Notepad and you'll see the section to change, as follows. Just add APP08=SmallMenu or SmallMenuPlus?? Might work...
; if you set CLOSEAPP to 1, the program will hide the following
; apps (by title) instead of closing. Other apps will be closed.
; maximum can set 16 apps
[EXCEPTIONLIST]
APP00=Text Messages
APP01=Outlook E-mail
APP02=Hotmail
APP04=MMS
APP05=Contacts
APP06=Calendar
APP07=Camera
I want to use my left softkey to cascade my wisbar start menu..I have tried the following registry settings HKCU\software\microsoft\today\keys\112
Name:start
String: "\program files\lakeridge\wisbar advance\wisbaradv2.exe" 2
I got the above link by going to start menu\programs\wisbar advance\casc start menu and checking its target...
Now when i click the left softkey it is executing only
"\program files\lakeridge\wisbar advance\wisbaradv2.exe"
rather than
"\program files\lakeridge\wisbar advance\wisbaradv2.exe" 2
which is for cascading start menu...
can somebody give me a solution for this...
Try this:
Create a shortcut to
"\program files\lakeridge\wisbar advance\wisbaradv2.exe" 2
and assign the shortcut to your left softkey.
Maybe you can place the shortcut anywhere, or maybe it has to be placed in \Windows\Startmenu.
Good luck.
done
I had done that before...but i had forgotton to reboot :? ..its working great now...Thanx anyways for the help...I have now mapped my leftsoftkey to the start menu and right softkey to file explorer...no need of smartskey!!
An even better solution (IMHO) is to use Water's Smartskey. Smartskey allows you to use left soft button press-and-hold to activate any 3rd party menu (even standard window menu). In this way you don't lose the original press function for the softkeys and can still easily open any cascading menu.
I use it to activate GsPocketMagic, a cascading menu.

hmm..
Well smartskey is still in its developing stage..once water completes it without any bugs i will be the first one to use it..its a very gud app
I use the comm manager button on the left of my 8125.. I just went into buttons in settings, and chose "casc start menu" and it worked fine...I like having start menu access from that key because its natural for one hand operation.

I have been using it for several months now (and my version is behind at least one-two revisions), I have had absolutely no problems with it. It works as advertised.
There's no harm in trying it.
Is it possible to actually 'close' programs using the internet explorer hard button?
I have SPBPlus installed, and the 'x' button is set to actually close programs rather than minimize then. When i assign the (ok/close) behaviour to the internet explorer button, and then use it to close a program, it only minimizes it.
So basically, is it possible to make my internet explorer button actually close programs?
thanks.
Yes it is possible with SPB Plus installed. Look further down the list of options and choose [Close]
This should do the trick.
I use Wisbar Advance 2 for that. I also have a .cpl that you drop in your windows folder that will show up in Settings>System>Soft Key so you can use the soft keys as a close button. I have the left SK for Windows and the right SK for a Close button.

Hello whats good,
Seems Like no one in the above posts interpreted what you meant.
I understand that U want to close your apps. with the HARDWARE BUTTON <INTERNET EXPLORER>
I assume (As u have stated above) U have set <ok/close> as the Action assigned to it.
Thats why It Minimises it.
To CLOSE IT FULLY. simply assign <CLOSE OK>
SCROLL DOWN >>>
Ok/CLOSE and CLOSE OK are Two Different Things.
That shall close it Proper.
PS::I too was using OK/CLOSE previously. Thanx to your Post I am able to Close my apps Fully.
One thing though It takes a mere 1.5 seconds to open my 2900 Contacts Book. But My device is lighter all the time with all the memory Hogging apps Down !!
One more thing I shall add (editing My Post)
Only those apps. whose page is Open shall be closed by this.
Not the background apps.
I know this doesn't answer your question, but you should install smartskey and use the right softkey button to close apps. Alternatively, the end call button seems to close most apps.
thanks for the replys, all helped, i've finally managed to actually close programs without having to always touch the little x in the top corner with my big clumsy thumb!
Im not really familiar with pocket windows but basically, can i create a shortcut to a specific folder. I know there are buttons linking to my documents, and on SPB plus you can have a link to my documents on your today screen, but can i choose a shortcut to a specific folder i have created, on my memory card, and put the shortcut on the today screen?
Thanks again again!
Post the .cpl file?

with the spb pocketplus plug-in, you can. click (and hold) on it and a dialog box will open, do the following:
choose Add/Remove Items...
choose Add (left softkey location)
choose Folder
select the folder that you want (you can press on the '+' sign at the storage card folder in order to choose sub-folders)
I am looking for a solution for changing the programs in TF3D.
I tested already the Alt-tab.exe and the alt-tab in Aebuttons.
If you have 3 programs opened these alt-tab changes only to one or 2 programs.
I mapped the alt-tab to the back-sensor button (right button to "Home").
Does anybody knows a working solution?
Me too!
Furthermore, is there any way so set the taskmanager that comes with HD and is only useable in homescreen on a button, so that it works form any open window?
copy the TaskMgr.ink from windows to \windows\startmenu\Programs - It is not beautyful but it works. I´ve set it on long press phone button - bebause I need all buttons as they are
well the taskmgr.lnk contains the html-help to the taskmanager. if you start the taskmgr.cpl you have only a windoq of the running programs. not a finger-friendly solution.
Yes
I would prefer a solution as is already is on the HD on top of today screen. But I don´t find a way to get it to work on a button.
Hey try this one! I like it
