I tried a search on the forums here and didn't find anything. Also an extensive Google search with no results, so I don't have that great of an outlook here.
Does anyone know of a program to either:
Add a Morse code input to the Windows Mobile OS (preferred)
Something to let me write SMS messages using Morse code (ala http://laivakoira.typepad.com/blog/2005/05/morse_texter.html)
The idea would be to allow me to send SMS messages (and possibly do other text-related tasks) on my Wizard using one hand and one or more of the buttons on the front. The other program linked above is basically exactly what I would want, but it's for Symbian phones.
From what I know of the .NET compact framework, it shouldn't be too hard to hack up a similar program for Wizards. So I can always give it a go if no one knows of an existing one.
I've looked for such a program extensively myself and haven't found anything so far.

1st of all - hello!
This is my first post in this Forum and I feel very uncomfortable at this point because I got a question, which has been hit many times before. Further it won't be the exact right place here to ask, because I dont own a XDA but a Motorola MPx200 with Windows Mobile 2003 Smartphone Edition. Nevertheless, I guess you can help me because developement in .NET is quite the same - and most of the features will work there too.
But getting startet...
I'm trying to write a program, which will indicate on my desktop computer if there is a incoming call on my mobile. Further it has to show me the incoming callers ID, maybe from the buildin phonebook of the mobile. For that Programm i have to write a little "listener" for my mobile, which calls a function (which talks to my desktop) when a incoming call is received.
Unfortunatly I can't write C++, but I think there must also be a solution in C# .NET over a API call. But I don't know, which method in which DLL I should call to receive the information if there is an incoming call or not.
Can anybody please help figuring out how to do this.
What I know now is, that it has to do with RIL and TAPI, but I must read myself in RIL to understand that.
Your my last chance - i googled the whole day, even read about 20 pages on google groups but there wasn't the "All-i-need-to-be-happy"-solution at all. I also have searched the wiki in here...
Sorry if you don't understand some parts of this text - i come from germany, so english isn't my native language.
Thanks so long.

Hi
for WM2003 it is kind of hard and involves a lot of study concernaing TAPI.
with WM5 it should be quite easy using .net compact framework 2.0 as there is a new namespace Microsoft.WindowsMobile.Status and a System Property called: SystemProperty.PhoneIncomingCall yet I have not tried that route.
One more Option which I didn't try - but could be a chance for you without learning TAPI is to register a small console.exe within the notifcation queue to run on the appropriate system event! (memmaid is a good explorer for the notiication queue)
This option will most likely just tell you that there is a call - and now details - I have no time to research this right now.

And is it working??
I thought I was the only one who wants to get this working...
Let us know !
Does anyone know if there is a reg hack for selecting contacts with no phone numbers from the smart dialer in WM6. I would be totally happy with the search feature if I could search all of my contacts. I use my contacts as a means of organizing lots of information and many entries do not have phone numbers and are therefore not searchable via this interface.
Does anyone know where in the registry this is possible or if it is even possible to do? This would be the fastest most effective way to select a contact if we could correct this issue.

Just tried it and ezdialer does NOT find contacts with no phone numbers. I currently use pocketCM and it works quite well but still lacking some features that I require. Ideally the reg hack if possible would solve all issues until pocketCM is fully functional.
You guys are my last hope before I update my phone and give this one to my sister. I am still searching for a the reg hack that will enable me to use the smart dialer to view contacts that have no phone #'s. Anyone
Well, i'd like to develop a security program that if your pocket pc phone gets stolen, you'd be able to do something different than just get the logs, gps coordinates, and number--i'd like to develop something that where if it gets stolen and you text the persons new number with a special word (like camera), it'll take a picture of the current setting of the phone. Sure at times, it might be in there pocket, but as long as you text that word, the phone takes pictures without the jacker knowing it and sends you the picture. I've never developed something so i'm asking if anybody here has, to what the first step would be. I chose this (got it from a convo with a friend) because i've yet to see something of this sort. Thanks
That would be slick.....hahaha..... that would be crazy if the ass taht stole it was in the same place u were....the club or something! NICE...I wish I had some programing skills....ONE
Yea, that's why i'd like to develop something like this--there would be a lot of interest and i've already heard that it would be super nice to have. Just need a cushion to start
I have two thoughts on this:
The phone side of it could be a simple MMS automation process. It would cut out a lot of work, because the MMS app already has the ability to interact with the camera and add the picture to the MMS and send it, even video and audio.
Secondly, there are programs out there, such as Vito FindMe, that provide the necessary code for making your phone run an automated process when it receives a specific word via SMS. In the Vito FindMe case, if it receives the word, it connects to GPS if available and then sends the phones GPS coordinates to the Sms'er. If a similar but open source type of Vito FindMe software could be found, most of the work would be done already. Then all you would need to do is tweak it to run the automated MMS script instead of GPS.
PS I am aware that Vito FindMe is free, but I don't think it is open source Etc I don't think the code is available.
What programs would i start off to develop this?
There is one more thing to think about. When someone stoles your phone, he probably won't use your sim-card (=phone number). To achieve all of this you need to find thief's phone number. You'd need some app to let you know the new nubmer when someone changes sim-card.
Blackberrys hotlink phone numbers, email addresses, and url's automatically out of the box. MarkNDial and TreoSelectText do this on POS but you need to select the text first. I can't find anything to do this on WM. Does it exist?
For those of you not familiar with MarkNDial for the Palm OS, it allows you to highlight a phone number (in a task for a calendar appointment) and dial it directly.
Does anyone know of a similar app for WM (expecially one that works in Notes)? Any help would be appreciated.
What is needed needs to be as simple as a click or 2. Selecting items is too much against my Treocentric ease of use. On Blackberrys it auto recognizes phone numbers, email, and url's in its notepad and other apps out of the box. Scroll to an item, click it, and it asks if you want to do the selected thing. One more click executes the instruction. Beautiful it its simplicity.
I have hundreds of numbers in notes I started in my Blackberry days for contacts I use infrequently so as to not clutter up my Outlook contacts, then I carried them over to my 700wx and found out that this functionality was sorely missing (not a big surprise for WM, but where are the third parties here). I am now a WM/Treo convert and am longing for the 800w.
The pending arrival of the 800w has renewed my interest in perfecting my Treo device and I would love to see this super efficient function added to WM to make the 800w even more useable then it will already be. Of course your device may vary but this would be a boon to all WM devices.
So is there anything out there like this or anyone to write it? I would gladly pay for a program or a script to fix this WM annoyance.
Great Solution
Hannip over at treocentral.com wrote and/or modified a MortScript to perfrom this function from a mapped button. In totally works, and does even more!!!
In summary:
MultiSwitch6 checks what app is running in the foreground and does the following.
1) If mail app - open the folders (fix for a major non-one handed annoyance).
2) If calendar - find phone numbers and prompt to call.
3) If notes - prompt to call the phone number where the cursor is.
4) Else run Pocket Internet Explorer or modify for app of choice.
Follow the thread and get the MortScript here (note: latest script is around post #11):

Hey everyone.
I've been using WM since the XDA2 then moved to a dopod 838 pro and am now using the Touch Diamond. The one thing I've never been able to do and really could use is the ability to call a number entry in the notes of a calendar entry.
I've done a search on the forums but I can't locate anything regarding it.
I tend to use my calendar for all of my appointments but if I have to call someone with the phone number stored in the notes of the calendar entry, I have to physically write the number down and then flick to the dialer to make the call. And I've had to do that for years. Now that I've found you guys I have to ask...is there a way around this?
Thanks in advance for any help you can throw my way and a Big thanks to all the devs here making my Diamond the best PPC I've owned.
EDIT: I should explain what I'm asking for a little better. You know how a number comes up highlighted in a text message or notes and all you have to do is tap on the highlighted number and it launches the dialer? That's what I really need in the notes of a calendar appointment.
i also need that.
and i could swar that this worked already in earlier versions
Barring any other solutions, you could copy and paste the number into the dialer, instead of having to write it down. I doubt there are any tweaks to make it a clickable link.
Thanks...the copy and paste option is better than nothing. I'd actually never thought to use it after all these years.
Still, a clickable link in the notes would be ideal. I'm sure if I ask M$ nicely, they'll be more than happy to add it to the next version of WM.
