Keycodes

I'm trying to set up Duke Nukem 3D on the Wizard and can't find the key names or codes for various keys, like the camera, call, hang up, backlight etc...
Any ideas?

I think most of the hardware keys are in the normal range of F1, F2 etc.
Eg I think the hangup key is like F4.

Aren't the pickup and hangup keys hard-bound in Windows Mobile to the phone options, and the nagup key is always set to hangup the phone call, or kill the current app? I've always found that I can minimise ANY running app by hitting the hangup key. Which has its uses, but is wholly impractical for mapping keys to functions in games and stuff.

christopherwoods: no the hard keys aren't mapped to the phone. Well, in a way they are, but not internally. Basically, if the phone app, cprog.exe, is working, it will intercept keys F3 and F4 and interpret those as dial/hangup keys. So using my program VJKeyPress you can simulate red and green with VJKeyPress 114 or 115
However, if you redefine the function of those keys, eg using a program like AE Button Plus, if you then simulate pressing F3 or F4, then it will perform the function chosen in AEButtonPlus. So, the keys can be overriden. Using VJKeyPress 114 will not simulate the phone key etc.

In normal use the red button doesn't minimse windows, it just jumps to the today screen I think. It certainly doesn't close windows. To close windows with the hangup key, check out my program VJOkButt.
Most programs written with GAPI will override the hardware key settings. However, if your game doesn't, use AE Button Plus to remap it to any other key press (perhaps by using my VJKeyPress). Then your game won't have fits when you press it.

Yeah, when I said minimise I meant that it shows the Today screen, and apps behave in the same way as if they're closed using the X - they don't really close, I know that for certain because... Well, that's how Windows Mobile (stupidly) behaves, and Switch shows them as still open.
I'd forgotten about your programs which can intercept keypresses and remap stuff... I must check those out sometime.

Does anyone know what I actually put into the config file, as in, the number or the words from that list or what?

mrsnoopy: I've never tried your game. Quote a few of the settings here and it should be easy to guess. I'd imagine the number though, not the words. Eg escape should always be 27 (or 1B if it's in hex).

awesome game in its day
used to play it on my 486 with 1 meg vga ram , yea !
Does it still have the taunts when u used to press an F key (in LAN multiplayer) come get some 2: who wants some 3:what are you some bottm beating scum sucking alge eater 4:it hurts to be you 5: your going to pay for that 6: wasted
cant think of any more .
much better in multiplayer , that work on the phone?

Hardware Ok/Close actually closes the app

Hell folks, I have a bit of a challenge for you all. I know that there are alot of programs out there like magic button that will actually close an application, rather than minimize it, when you hit the X button in the top right. Unfortunately, I can't seem to find any app that provides this functionality to a hardware button mapped to the ok/close function.
Does anyone know of a registry tweak or an add-on that makes an ok/close hardware button actually close an app?
Thanks.

In SPB Pocket plus is an close application/link what you can assign to a key.

ajpprc: VJOkButt.
Major new release hopefully coming tonight as well It took me "bally" ages...

RE
You can use Vito TaskSwitcher, however, you'll need Vito ButtoMapper too in order to map :lol:

Xbar can do that. And it doesn't take up a button because it uses the "enter" button of your D-pad. Very clever!

Actually CLOSING programs using the HW-keys

With the Wizard I used VJOKButt with the IE-button so that I could close programs and dialogs without using the stylus.
The TyTN/Hermes has it's own OK button(s), and I was wondering if anyone knows a way these buttons can actually close (or be reconfigured to launch VJOKButt) programs?
I've already tried AE Button Plus but couldn't set a custom action for the OK button (allthough this might be because I didn't register the program)...
Any tips would be apreciated!

Moskus, if I ever get my computer working again,

I may try to build such a feature in to VJOkButt, but I'd rather people be able to use their own button mappers. However, if AE Button plus doesn't do it, then I may try to build in this feature.

AEB Plus
Actually it does work, you just have to add it as a new button (menu | add button). I've got my OK hardware button mapped to ok/close for one press and close front application for a long press.
Steven

I certainly would love it if is was build in to VJOKButt, Vijay!
I guess I'll try AEButton again (for now). Didn't see that "Add button" feature.. :wink:
EDIT: The AEButton finds the hardware OK button, but the combination of VJOKButt and AEButton won't close the application, just minimize it. :?

With AE Button Plus 2.4.3 beta and upwards, you can capture and map the "ok" and "windows" buttons. Have set mine to close apps with 2 depresses of the "ok" button.

can it be done by tweaking some of the registry rather to instsall some of the 3rd party program?

Hmmm... I should have investigated some more. Now it works!

PQzII let's you map any button on the hermes (and universal) to anything you want...it is really great. It has an option to make the ok button a 'really close button' and much more.

You can find out a lot about it in this forum by searching for pqzII.

Hi All,
I'm trying AEBPlus and I tried to map the OK button the side to be "OK/Close" for one press and "Close active application" for two presses. however, the single press doesn't seem to work. Pressing it once no longer minimizes applications or funciton as the OK/Close button. In fact it does nothing. I'm using a CHT9000 with the Dopod English Rom. Anyone know how to fix this? Thanks!

how about good old smartskey? it works in my Hermes, press&hold right softkey removes active window from memory.

Aye, but until it supports OK button it's less intuitive. The newest version support the OK button on the Prophet but this operates the PIE button on the Hermes. I've PM'd Water about it but no response

OK buttons NOT mappable under WM5..not through menus anyway!

I agree. On my HTC Prophet using Wisbar Advanced 2, I am able to map the 'OK' button to 'Close/OK' option of the Wisbar application, which did close all my programs etc. On my VarioII the 'OK' buttons are not mappable. Bummer!!

Try PQZII for me is fantastic, not only to close programs, you can map everithing...

How d'u use it this PQZII? Help!!

Forgive my stupidity, but I'm currently using it, but haven't a clue how to get it to that for sure. It seems to work for some applications, but not for others. Any tips or guides for dummies like me :lol:

I'll join the dummies club too!

PQzII would be perfect if we could attach key presses of the same key to different apps like in AE button plus.
unfortunately, once PQzII captures the button, it overides AE button plus, meaning the 2 can't work together on the same button.
also found out that AE button plus 2.5 doesn't capture the windows button at all. Investigated back and found that only 2.4.3 beta did.

I dont know AEbutton so I dont understand why you want use both the programs. (note: also PQZ dose not configure well the win button) but you can configure any other button, eg: alt+left to close program (I put alt in internet button so if I want to close a program I press "internet program" and "left".

I've mapped my 'Button 5' (under settings/Buttons...) to 'Close/ok' of the Wisbar Advanced settings, which does close everything. Just until, as bydandie said, a more intuitive method can be achieved by using the 'ok' button.

in PQZII there is an option to make ok button to close, I dont use that option because I want to have some programs running down, you can try

How do you do that MAKBET? Please share. Details please. :wink:

How to assign new buttons?

I'd like to be able to hold a button (other than Button 5) and have it execute a command/program. Can it be done?
ie. Hold OK button to launch X program? I've googled with no luck.

Search the forums. There is a thread by Sleuth255 (?) with the title PTT Function Hacked or something similar.

I found that thread. But it's doing what my TyTN does anyways... allows you to hold the button 5 and launch. I need that function for the other buttons as well.... unless I'm missing something.

i use ae button plus for this.
its free on a trial with a popup on phone phone startup, or $7 to unlock.
its FANTASTIC. interface isn't overly intuative to setup, but basicly you can have
1 click, 2 click, 3 clicks and press to hold on *all* the hardware buttons do different things.
its also got a reasonalbe app switcher built in, and way to turn the screen off and lock the keys if you want your media to keep playing when the phone in in a lower power state. *(not sure how much this saves in terms of power, but the key lock is why i use it)
For example,
my internet button (up and right of screen) is now set to
1 click - Load IE,
2 click - Load MusicID (listens to any song being played and then tells you the artist and track)
3 click - Load tomtom (usfull so i can switch between messages/phone calls and tomtom when driving quickly.
press and hold - turn off screen and lock keys for media playback.
Wish it was more popular i think its a fantastic application! you should give it ago.

as an aside note, i think there is a reg hack to do the press and hold on other buttons, but honestly do your self a favour and try

Thank you. Exactly what I need. Cheers.

Remapping scroll functionality

I have a MAPL100 and downscrolling on the trackball has stopped working. It works sometimes, but usually it takes me 4 or 5 flicks to get it to scroll once.
That said, is there a way to remap one of the keys in the bottom right (Camera button, mail button, and inner circle key) to perform as a downscroll? Like a virtual directional pad.
Or remap a volume key?
More thoughts: the inner circle key can be customized via settings to launch a program. Is there a program that does nothing except send a scroll down signal?
Likely not. How hard is it to make one? I've hardly programmed for WM but I know .NET well so if you have any pointers towards such a program I would much appreciate them.
Thanks

Bumping this. I can't scroll down OR left!

Hi, why don't you try to flash a 3VOLUTION SERIES ROM, they have a button configuration functionally which gives you the option to configurate for long press and short press several buttons, otherwise you could try by installing SmartToolKit or AEB Plus button configurator, however in my experience these apps don't work well with stock roms as they can't seem to register the key remapping; unless of course the issue was with the sd certificates, now I couldn't tell as I'm already on the latest 3VOLUTION SERIES ROM.
