Autocomplete content in textboxes - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone has any ideas or has managed to create an editcontrol in c++ for windows mobile where your application suggests or autocompletes what you enter. I don't want to use the t9 dicitionary and add stuff.. I thought the was a function name SHAutoComplete or something like that.. but i'm not able to find any shell dll's which export this..
All help would be appreciated.. I know it's possible.. the addressbar in the pocket explorer has autocomplete for instance... and i would hate to dissasemble that app and look for clues

Hi !
You can add some extra commands ((with a TRICK)), that Microsoft forgot to include (again) !
If you google the web you will find two freeware programs called "Close" and "Close All" . After you install them make sure there are shortcuts for both of them in your" \Windows\Start Menu\Programs" directory (Otherwise M. Voice command will not find them!) .
Now you have added two (actually three new commands).
For Example - you say :
"Start Pocket Excel" > Pocket Excel opens
If you want to close it you say
"Start Close"
If you have several programs running and want to close them all you say
"Start Close All" .
And finally the third command :
You have several programs open and you want to bring one (for example Pocket Word) on top.
you say "Start Pocket Word" - you have it now on top (you can use it or close it-see above).
Actually with this trick you can scroll through all open programs and close them selectively.
(THIS WORKS both with V1.0 and V1.5 of M.Voice Command - V1.5 is much better though!)
Now you have additional new essential commands to work with your PPC!
Enjoy !
Should you have problems finding these two small programs on the web - please let me know - I will upload them here if this is not against forum rules - is it? Anyway I do not have them here on this machine - ie. can not do it right now .
v1.5.
Thank you for the tips!
Anyway to read sms?

If there is an app that reads SMS (I do not know?) and produces separate files for each SMS you can try with a trick which works with situations when you want to open whatever file by issuing a Microsoft voice command "Start 'filename' ".
How you do it :
You need to copy a shortcut of a particular file you offten use to \windows\start menu\programs (otherwise MVC will not be able to locate it).
I also rename the shortcut into some english (example shortcut of an excel file xyz.xls located on \Storage Card\Excel files) like I rename this for example to "tango".
You say : "Start tango" and voila excel opens with the xyz.xls file.
If you want to shock someone just try this trick - people just stare !
Enjoy

Hi, I have not tried your sugestion, because there IS NO NEED to infest Magitian with additional programs to open folders and files.
TRY :
If you use Resco File explorer (probably works with other file managers too)
Place the cursor on whatever folder (not only My Documents, Storage, Storage Card - any folder that you would like to open with MVC) > "COPY"
then you go to \Windows\Start Menu\Programs > "PASTE Shortcut".
Now you just say: Start "Folder Name".
You See, no need for extra programs ....
Cheers !

Hi there!
I tried to use the Pocket Pc File Explorer to paste a shortcut in the Start Menu,
When I try to access the folder using MS Voice Command, It pops up an error
"Cannot find 'folder name' ( or one of its components ). Make sure the path and filename are correct and all the required libraries are available"
This happens because MS V C can start an application or exe files but not folders.
For this reason, I looked for an alternative and found MortRunner. The application Mortrunner is only 33Kb and with documention the total size comes around 64 Kb.
I just installed Resco File Explorer 2003 after reading your reply, Resco File explorer is huge 244 kb plus compared to Mortrunner and not Free, costs approximately 25 dollars. But we can explore easily and do many things more. Tested it as you suggested, yeah it works fine.
I tried it with another Freeware File Explorer GSFinder, it gave the same error message.
I am looking for freeware with small install footprint. Thats where MortRunner fits me and mortrunner is like a small dos shell for the PPC. We can use it to pass additional parameters to programs too.
Anyway, the only other purchased application apart from Windows Mobile, I have, is Voice Command.

[APP][REQ]UltimateSearch modification

Dunno if it is the right place to post it...anyhow I would let you to know this fabulous (maybe just my personal opinion) that allow you to enable on your today screen a complete search engine frontend:
http://www.gx-5.com/products/ultimatesearch/
It is called "Ultimate Search" and it's pretty cheap. I really love it because you can make a search on Google/yahouu/youtube/ecc...just by tapping one button on your today.
I've just one problem: it works only with IE, not with Opera.
I tried to open the .dll attached here with an hex editor to enable it to launch Opera instead of IE but unfortunally I'm not so able in theese things and so I failed.
Is there something who can help me?
Thanks a lot in advance.
PS: (to the mods) I posted here just the dll used by the program. No copyrights violated, no warez.
Come on guys...
there's really noone who could help me?
I'm sorry...never liked the "bump action" but I really need thi help...
So: ...BUMP...
use vjbrisk to map the iexplorer exe to the opera exe
Or maybe you can set Opera like default browser?
it wont open with any other Browser other than IE because its using the HTTPRequest and other commands provided by M$ in there SDK

How to change default saving location on MS OneNote Mobile?

After the first upgrade, I lost all of the notes I had on OneNote, and when I tried to change default saving location, I couldn't find any option for that. I've been told that the only way to do this is to install OneNote on the memory card, meaning that I have to uninstall it first. So I'm wondering if someone knows how I can do that? I can't find OneNote in "Remove programs" in Settings, and don't know any other way to remove programs (other that to just delete random files with the same name in the Windows file).. I would also appreciate an answer for how I can install the program again (its not on the CD you get with the phone)? Thanks for any help..
Btw, some other guy told me that it is possible to do it by editing the Registry on the mobile, but he didn't know exactly how to do it. Anyone who knows?

[REQ]How to create a Quick Link to "Games"

Hi,
I'm new in Manila... and the HD2.
How to create a Quick Link to a subfolder like "Office Mobile" or "Games".
I was able to Create a Name and an Icon by changing HKLM/software/htc/manila/Home, but don't find how to create a path to a subfolder like "Office Mobile" or "Games".
I try to modify "exePath" registry key (\Windows\Menu Démarrer\Programmes\Jeux ), but it doesn't work...
any idea?
hum hum, it seems to be difficult to find a good way
Perhaps it's possible to do it using Morscript...
On my old Omnia, I created a file called Games.mscr, where we find :
Run \Windows\SamsungPrograms.exe,\Windows\Menu Démarrer\Programmes\Jeux
my problem is that I don't find the "SamsungPrograms.exe" equivalent in the new HD2 !!!
please, any idea ?
for the moment, I create a shorcut to "Games" with RescoExplorer...
but it opens with RescoExplorer
I'm sure we can find better way to open directly the "Games" (or "Office" or "Multimedia" or ...) directory with a Quicklink.
I'm sure you have the answer , please, share it
I think I found something impossible to do with Leo !!!
or you don't want to share your solution?
fredcom2 please share your solution. so Want to have this.
sorry for my bad english...
in my previous message, I'd like to say that I probably find something impossible to do with Leo.
I'd love to have a solution for a Quicklink to a folder, but I don't have...
My previous phone was an Omnia and it was possible to create a Morscript shortcut with something like that :
"Run \Windows\SamsungPrograms.exe,\Windows\Menu Démarrer\Programmes\Jeux"
but I don't find the equivalent of "SamsungPrograms.exe" in our Leo ... so no solution for the moment.
sad
This should give us a clue... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4922420&postcount=33
Another clue... seems like we need a string value saying Command http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=518217
Hi tboy2000,
thanks for your time.
you pinpoint what is NOT working for our HD2.
in "old" manila, we had to change something like "HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher\18"...
but we have no more "Manila\ProgramLauncher" key.
in fact we have something close : "HKLM\software\htc\manila\Home\18" and we have "exepath" instead of "Command"... but it's not working for me as my folder is always open by RescoExplorer or FileExplorer and NOT with the StartMenu Launcher.
I probably do something wrong, but I'm not able to find what's wrong

Hi,
any news about this subject?
I'm allready working with a shortcut opening the "Game" folder with FileExplorer (or RescoExplorer), but not directly in the StartMenu...
any idea?
I had this question too but then found an alternative solution which involves 1 extra press:
move the games folder [which you see when you press the windows hardbutton] to the top of that screen; then all you do is press windows button; press "games" and Robert is your Uncle
Hi,
many month later, same question : is there any clean solution to open a subfolder like "Office Mobile" or "Games".
It was possible with my older phone (Omnia), I saw video where it's possible with Iphone... so is there a way to do it with our HD2?

edit: here is his post explaining how to do it:

@nrfitchett4
thanks for your answer...
BUT this shortcut only opens a FileExplorer directory...
what I mean, and what I want, is to open directly the Windows Program windows in the good directory (say Multimedia or Games or Tools).
Again, it was possible with my old WM Samsung Omnia, ant it's possible with Iphone.
edit: in RescoExplorer, it's possible to create a shortcut of a directory with "Files/SendTo/asAShortcut"... but, as fileExplorer, it just open RescoExplorer and not the Windows Program windows
works for me with normal file explorer of windows.
i just make a shortcut with the file explorer and copy it to windows/startmenu.
DN41
I'm sorry for my bad english...
I know that it's possible to have a shortcut who opens FileExplorer or RescoExplorer in a directory like Windows/StartMenu/Programs/Games ... BUT it's completly different that opening the "Games" directory by Start/Games... this is not the same screen.
So my question is : is it possible to open directly the Start/Games?
on the 2 pictures below, we can see the difference between the 2 possibles open...
im not sure it does shortcuts to folders on the homescreen, if it was s simple and easy method im sure you would have been directed to it already
