This is a small program made in Flash to emulate a fullscreen virtual keyboard.
This keyboard is fullscreen and always seen in horizontal way (landscape).
It requires Flash 7 installed in your Pocket PC. If you don't have it yet, get it for free here:
http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer_Pocketpc/downloads/player.html
You can customize the:
- Text color
- Keypad Skins
- Background image
- Pre-made personal sentences
- English version
You have three screens with keys:
- Normal
- Capital letters
- Special characters
In all of them you can delete the last character, erase all the text or COPY, this last key has two effects:
- Places all the copied text in memory
- Closes the application
Afterwards, you can choose where to paste the text, either on a SMS, a note, email, or any other application where you can use the PASTE command (or CTRL+V).
News:
- keypad sound
- customized key alignment
- screen rotation
- New default skin (just because)
- Minimize+copy
To configure the keys sound just alter the IDsom line in mydata.txt
You may also change that on screen.
Almost all keys are configurable now, with the exception of the characters % & ) = + that cannot be dynamic because they interfere with the code.
Do note that some keys. to help the witting process, jumped to the first screen so that the user could continue witting, keys such as é ã ó, etc.
There is now the option to choose your screen rotation as default, just change the variable on mydata.txt
Or, during use, you can always press left/right (or up/down, depending on the model) to rotate the screen at will.
You can change the skin anytime by pressing up/down on your keypad (or left//right, depending on the model).
To customize your favorite skin, text color, personal sentences or use the English version, read the mydata-english.txt carefully.
Then place it in \Storage Card\Temp\FlashKeys (these folders are created the first time you run the software).
If, for some reason its not there, then search your Pocket pc with a explorer software to seek out where your temp folder is.
You can make a skin yourself, just use the example in the EXTRAS folder. It needs to be a 230x320 JPG file placed in the \Storage Card\Temp\FlashKeys folder with the name back.jpg
In case your screen is rotated you need a second file named back2.jpg
If, by any reason you need to exit the fullscreen, you can close the application with the COPY key, pressing the new minimiza buttton above the volume or press ENTER on you keypad (the button in the middle of the directionals keys).
Place the EXE file where ever you want, make a shortcut or call it with a defined key on your Pocket PC, its your choice.
This software is compatible with WM2003 and WM6. I didn't tested it on WM5, but it should work fine.
The WM2002 version was not created, but can be made easily by request.
Use and distribute this as you want, it was made for all of us.
Any bug report use these forums:
http://www.mobile-freaks.net and http://www.Pocketpt.net
Enjoy.

Hi, it looks great, is it compatible with 240x240 screens?
hey, yes, great work, looks realy nice. it is possible to turn it 180 degrees?
pretty snappy! is there a left/right cursor key?

Hmmm, no, but do you need them?
Oh, got, it, to delete or correct the text...hmmm
Weel, you can select the text with your stylus and i think you can cut and paste also, but that wouldnt work very good, at least with my flash-actionscript limitations, sorry...

its made for 320x240 but it -should- resize itself for any screen, but thats something only the flash player itself can manage. Let me know how he reacts to your screen...

The keys would be too small in 240x320 and it would loose its purpose...
but, yes, it is possible, just not in a direct way... Maybe in the next version, but again, they keys would be really small, when compared to the landscape version...
My Qtek S100 is on portrait mode, but I still use that on landscape, it doesnt affect anything in the system, just gives me more room to have the full keyboard keys in that qwerty kind of way.

well, right now you can, but only the last character written... you can also remove things manually by sellecting the text with your stylus and choosing CUT (not sure about this), but im afraid i dont know how to make actioscript in flash that lets you delete part of the texto in the middle, sorry...

Got ya twolf - my reading is a little slow
Two questions here for improvement:
1. & is missing from &Key1 at data.txt, initialized by the program - leading key 1 undefined, but this can be corrected by mydata.txt.
2. &FAVSkin cannot be initialized by mydata.txt - always start with default skin, but it can be changed by D-Pad.
Thanks.
1 - yes, that is normal, the first variable cannnot have the & in order to work in flash.
2 - Hmmmm.... I believe it works, he just assumes the jpg file as a sefault, if it doesnt exists, he then selectes the number you picked in that variable as the skin you want. But yes, it can be changed via D-pad always during the use of the application.
Are you sure it doesnt work? You did configured it in mydata.txt, right?

installation problems.,.,.
i tried it but this is what i get :
Can't load
"\windows\dvoraksip.dll",
GetLastError returned :
193: %1 is not a valid
Win32 application.
plz help.,.,..,
Great
Hi, this is great idea as I'm looking for this type application for past 1 year. But, the file unable to load.
Hmm, maybe I uploaded the wrong file? I made it late time. Maybe I uploaded the emulator's version. It's not for ARM CPU but for x86.
One moment, and I grab the dll from my XDA and change the uploaded file.
dvoraksip.dll updated!
Ok, I am sorry, I uploaded the x86 file.
Now, I updated the dll.
Try to download again above!
Now that is a working copy, from my XDA.
Oh, and I tryed with my friend's Himalaya earlyer, and it worked with.
New version with space and backspace, and maybe with capital letters coming soon next week.
a couple of quick comments...
1. I find the time for double and tripple clicks is too short.
2. Would be great if it had predictive text capabilities
ok it worked this time, seems to be a nice app.
i suggest that T9 type input as an option would be a good idea, with cutom dictionary which can remember new words.
anyways bro, VERY NICE WORK!!!!
keep it up.
Good suggestions.
- Yes, timedelay will be configuralble. As I remember, now it is 400ms.
- Of course, I planed to integrate predictive input. (With an independent dictionary from MS) This time I don't know, how to make that, but it will be user editeable, or convertable-importable from/to txt or other simply file format. I like to support different languages.
My plan is:
TODO:Most important
- space, backspace, enter
I think backspace will be a horizontal line with the stylus right to left, and space will be a rhumb left to right, like in Letter Recognizer. Or let the rhumbs will be the cursor move keys? And how to implement the enter key?
- Capital letters, numbers, signs
TODO:That I like to develop before other things
- internationale support, first for hungarian keys like: óüöúőűáéí
- copy, cut, paste shortcuts? Like my earlyer project (see my homepage for (only) screenshot)
- options page for customization, (like time delay)
TODO:Other things
- Predictive input
- ...
Thank you for the interest!
Oh this is cool. I am also interested in this. I've been looking for a one hand SMS, getting tired sms'ing with the stylus. Thanks for the great effort.
Ive also been looking for the same kind of program. It´s great that you make this effort. Looking forward for future programs. Once it´s done, i will defenetly make a donation to support further versions!!
It is very good!!!
Hi Sallala.
I think that it could be very usefull. It is what I need.
I've tried to use it in the default SMS client and I dont' know why in the field to find the contact you can not write other letters than the first (for example you can not write the letter b, but only a).
In any case I think that you made an eccelent work.
I hope you will go further with this wonderfull piece of software.
Bye,
Uros

Did you mean:
Start to write a new (SMS type) message, in the Inbox application, and you can't type corectly tha "To:" field?
I tried this. This is worked me fine, as in other windows. The delay time, while you switch a->b->c is quite short. Maybe this was the reason to you.
I also tryed the find contact window, and it works.
Did you know? When you press the Contact HW button, and start typeing, you immediatly type to the "find contact" box. To click in it, before typeing is not neccesarry ;-)
Question
Question
- How to implement the enter key?
A stroke up->down?
- How to implement the space and the backspace key?
A stroke left->right and right->left?
- How to implemet the cursor move-keys?
Strokes are make conflict with I write above
Let's response fast, I like to program it tonight!
Do remember, I waiting for methods that we can do with one finger without the stylus.
And I think there is no more space for another column of buttons. I think the size of the buttons now exactly good for komfortable typeing.. Or let's try more buttons?
Sallala, can you position the buttons just like that of a regular cell phone? and place the letters according to those of a regular cell phone? this way, it will be easier to switch from cellphone to xda and vice versa. you may follow the interface of WM2003's phone interface. i find it already comfortable dialling with one hand. what do you think?
Hi Boybi!
Urosh suggest this layout, and I think it's good.
The buttons are enough big to typing one finger, and it's size the same as the other input methods.
The normal GSM phone keboard have four row. That's mean, if I change the layout to your suggestion the panel height will be twice.
Let's take a look for example pocket excel! If the keyboard height is twice, and it is open, you can view only 4-5 rows from the excel sheet, because there is a formatting tab and a satuts bar too in excel.
But of course, typing maybe easyer on a bigger keyboard. And I know, peepole like the conventional methods.
So this is not a wrong idea, but I like to finish this layout first, and after, let's go back here! I think it is not a big work, to transform the layout.
Thank you!
i forgot the software you're developing is an Input Method and not a regular sms software. if this were a regular sms software, then i would strongly suggest to stick with a regular phone's layout.
great work Sallala! hope you could finish it soon!

For the cursors is it possible to use the 5 way HW pad? It could be the best solution.
For backspace it could be that you have to press any button for 1 second.
I think also that you can make two more buttons on the right (where now you have three buttons that doesn't work). In this manner you can make the last position (for example the first button abc1) for the numbers. The last two buttons should have also spacebar and other 5 or 6 characters (for example [email protected]? ecc. or what we need most).
What do you think?
Urosh
I forgot another thing.
It could be better if you implement a sound ("bip") or something like this when you tap. It is better to hear the tapping to know how many times you tap.

Uros
I've finally ported to XDAs my old project that adds a functionality to the empty button in a "Phone" application, so by pressing it you can select any contact to dial. The program supports contact groups and several phone numbers per contact. The screenshot is:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
screenshot is in Russian, but the English version is also available. Only English, Russian, Italian OSes are supported.
The program behaves correctly when the call is in progress, so you can "held" a call or perform any other functions mapped to this button.

My site is down, so I've attached the recent version to this post

Mamaich, very nice, I really hated that tiny little box at the bottom. Just played around for a minute but looks good. What do you think about having the categories as boxes (like the dial pad) 2 or 3 in a row that way it would make the one handed approach work better. Just an idea.
Speed Dial
Does this allow system characters (e.g. "#") to be send as a quick dial?
The normal phone operation doesn't support this - it insists that these characters have to be keyed in on the phone keypad - which means I cannot "speed call" my divert / divert-cancel settings.

Probably it is not. I use the same system function that is used by a "Contacts" application to dial a number.
Wow!, that is a really usefull little addon!, thanks for that, i think i am going to find that very usefull,
I assumed the box that popped up in russian on the ppc after installing said to do a reset? as thats what i did and it worked
mamaich, did some more testing. very nice.
I like that I can use the D-pad to scroll up & down through the list then click the center to call and that your app closes once the number is dialed otherwise like the phone app you have to go back and close it after making a call. Would be nice if the left&Right could be use for your back&next. That would make the D-pad fully functional and you would only have to click your contacts button leaving all other control to the D-pad.
Aleternatively your program is not a .exe file so at this point it is not possible to set it to a button(i.e. button 2-contacts). What do you think.
:lol: really useful tool and its free
mamaich ur the man :lol:
really utilised that ugly little empty spot in the phone menu this tool seems like its meant to fill up that spot
suggestions
hi, very nice usage of the empty button on the dialer screen.
one suggestion/modification though.
is it possible that if we press that "Contacts" Button, we are also given the option of attaching some 'exe' file to it?
e.g, i use FingerClix a lot, so is it possible that if i click the "contacts" button i assosiate it with FingerClix. and by pressing it, FinderClix launches??
That's a kick ass little addition you did there! Thanks a lot for that.

I'll try to do this. I can try to make my program run when you move the joystick down in the "Phone" application. Like in old Siemens phones.

It is possible to add any function to this button. But it would require additional coding. I don't use FingerClix because it does not have Russian keyboard.
Re: suggestions
I've uploaded a new built to:
http://mamaich.kasone.com/imate/SetupNewENG.rar (only English version).
This build allows you to use joystick right/left to press "Next"/"Back" buttons, pressing joystick down in "Phone" main dialog is mapped to "Contacts" button, and archive includes a program that can be mapped to the "contacts" button.
If you have already installed a previous version of the program you should not uninstall it. This Setup would correctly update the old build.
Known problems:
Uninstall is not working yet. To manually uninstall program you should delete file "\Windows\StartUp\CprogHook.exe", reboot, then uninstall should process fine.
Joystick keys are processed when they are pressed, but normal "Phone" application processes them on "keyup" message (i.e. on release). This can potentially cause duplicated keypresses.

Hi Mamaich,
Looks promisign this hack you made. Only I can't install the new version. When I open the archive (with PowerArchiver) I can only see a text file. Maybe there is something wrong with the archive?

Wow, Mamaich, thats a real nice handy app. Is there any way to set this button to one specific number? But even more importantly, which would be very very nice, if you could make this button to switch to HANDSFREE
on, by pressing the button? Possible?

mamaich, that is fantastic! What a great idea! No need for a clunky T9 dialler now. THANK YOU!
One comment: contacts that have a company name only (and no first/last name) are listed with no name at all in the list. Also, people's names are listed in lastname, firstname order.
Could you make the list display configurable? I prefer John Smith to Smith John, and could you display the company name if there is no personal name?
Perhaps you could provide a list of name display options?
Thanks again

Guys, this is an update to my old program VJSmallIcons. To say it's long overdue is an understatement
This version retains and persists settings between folders. It can also make the Programs launcher fullscreen. When you go fullscreen, there is a menu option to permit navigation back up to the previous folder.
On a whim, for no good reason at all, I've also implemented my interpretation of the Vista View Mode slider, as seen here in Vista.
The slider can be used to toggle modes. Even if you don't need the app, try the slider! I quite like it :wink: Hopefully you'll see this again in VJSihaya.
Normal Mode
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

Available on my website!
V
nice unlike the first one, this one works on my device %)
the slider's a bit silly, I suppose, but kinda cute
( are you supposed to be able to drag it? only seems to respond to taps )
However... I just got stuck in a subdir :x VJSmallIconsII disappeared, and tapping 'OK' (which normally goes a dir up) did nothing. Not sure what I did to get in that state. Edit: Found it, check follow-up posts
and a suggestion... the 'go up one level' bit, perhaps it should carry the name of the level above, instead of the current level?
bug report.. if you run it twice, you will seemingly just be using VJSmallIconsII as normal. But changing any of the modes does nothing. If you exit it, it becomes apparent that you were already running it a copy of it - as that instance with its view (which changes correctly) is still there.
btw - nice UI (not sarcasm.. it really is nice!)
whewps.. now it locked up my device >_< I'll try and repro
yay repro
I have PHM PPC Powertoys installed, so I have a dir structure...

3. Start > Programs > PHM Tools > PHM PPC Powertoys
4. Tap VJSmallIconsII floater

I don't know if it's the length of the folder name, or the fact that there's two spaces, or... etc. Can't keep poking at it right now
ZeBoxx: Many thanks.
I'll look into the hang. That's not when you're running it twice is it?
It's hanging because it's subclassing the Programs screen, and if for some reason VJSmallIconsII crashes, it'll take the Programs screen down with it.
It does contain code to detect multiple instances, but it occurs to me that because of the way the window is created it's probably not being detected. I didn't contemplate it being run twice I'll fix that!
Yes, slider responds to taps not sliding :wink: Not sure if I'll fix that! At least for now, it's just GUI...
The folder name - good idea, although it's basically for showing what the current folder name is, if you've got it in fullscreen mode and can't see for yourself. I don't mind incorporating either way, whichever you guys think is most logical.
Bug is confirmed with PHM (I have a similar folder structure). I'll look into it when I get home.

Probably doesn't matter - the hang is just when using MagicButton, so I suspect it's because it's using a different method to 'close' the window?

Well, that's why I mentioned two spaces.. e.g. "PHM Tools" - if I'm in there, and I tap VJSmallIconsII - no problem. But once I'm in "PHM PPC Powertoys" - boink.
I'll give it a more thorough testing and report back

Pooh, I think I remember now. I think I used a 16 char buffer for the folder name. Should be easy to fix. V gets his beautiful ass bitten by a buffer overflow... now to the XBOX 360

What os is this supposed to work with? I put it on my 2002 devices and no go. I don't like to try unfinished stuff on the newer phones that I actually use (as phone).
This is a bit off topic....
vijay555, your programs alway seem so slick. You obviously put a great deal of work into them. My question is, why spend so much time on programs that help the user interact with the device when the there is a lack of programs that provide real usefull functionality. I am not critisizing any of you projects, more just pointing at what I see as a lack of things to actually do with a ppc once you have it working.
Hey unable to download this app from your site!
OdeeanRDeathshead: not sure about 2002. It's been tested on Emulator, WM2003SE and WM5. I don't have any 2002 devices to test it on.
Either way, I'd suggest waiting about 45 mins so I can get the buffer overflow bug fixed.
Re the offtopic: I've got a lot of new stuff to write, but for me, I do a lot of playing around mainly as an offshoot of reading. For this app: I wanted to make an app to hide reminders. Thus I wanted an app to remodel the reminders. Thus I wanted to change the button style of the dismiss all button. As a result I thought I'd try the same on the Programs window. It was semi-useful (I never use Programs), so I released VJSmallIcons. I know one guy who used it - it's a small market
Next I'm working on VJToggleToday II. For that, I needed to make a subclassing routine. It was easier to debug that in VJSmallIcons II. So I wrote the subclasser as reusable code.
At the same time, I got interested in owner drawn menus for a TV Listings app I wrote on the PC in VB, which I want to move over to the PPC eventually:
So I experimented with owner drawn menus, and then for no good reason the slider.
So circling back, the subclasser will be re-used in VJToggleToday II, which is a useful app, and the slider will reappear in some form in VJSihaya.
I don't really have time to write "big" apps like a word processor etc. I write what interests or distracts me, or is otherwise being used for research. It's a hobby My stuff is mostly for my own use, or research, but some of it occassionaly might be useful to the wider world, which is why I release it publically. But there are a myriad of bugs and issues in the Phone OS which I like to address for my own use, eg why does it take so many clicks to start a new calendar entry? Why can't we add numbers to existing contacts? If it bothers me enough, I look into my own solutions, more as an academic exercise.
Phew, time for lunch

Guys, I've put the new version, v2.01 back on my site. Fixes the crash on long folder names and prevents loading multiple instances.

I've posted a minor update to version v2.02 to fix a small bug where the vertical offset wasn't being taken into account correctly in fullscreen mode.

PLEASE DO NOT DISTRIBUTE THIS SOFTWARE WITHOUT ASKING MY CONSENT!
After seeing a request for a large button dialer in the Prophet forums, I decided to try to develop a solution my self...
What does it do/not do?
FSD is a more finger friendly dial pad than the WM default one.
FSD is skinable.
FSD does not have any speed dial/redial or anything more complicated than basic number entry.
FSD is a full screen dialer!
FSD will run on WM5/6 or WM2003 devices with .NET CF 2.0.
FSD uses the default dial pad once the call has been started.
Call/End hardware buttons do not work within FSD!
Pressing the call button with no number loads iContact
Pressing the end button with no number quits the app.
Skinning from anywhere!

Thanks to Vijay555 for allowing me to use and distribute VJPhone, which is used to parse the call.

Notes
FSD may have bugs etc, but I will try to iron them out.
FSD supports MoDaCo AppToDate, but the place I would host the files is down ATM...
The WM2003 cab is untested!
To change the skin folder, change the string "skin" in"HKCU\\Software\\L3v5y\\FSD" to whatever the name of the folder is and place that folder into the Dialer folder on your device. For folders located within the installation directory, put the name of the folder. For ones stored anywhere else, put the full path name (e.g. \Storage Card\FSD\Skin).
To change whether the app exits on a call: change the value of ExitOnCall (under HKLM\Software\l3v5y\FSD) is set to 1, the app will exit on a call/when the contacts app is opened.
Bugs/Issues
WM2003 cab not working well.
Hardware button mapping not great...
Change log:
0.25 fixes all known bugs!
0.24 adds some basic configuration options (click on the number display area).
0.23 now draws the number text on screen allowing for backgrounds! (Text is no longer in an text box).
0.21.02 has some bug fixes.
0.21 adds a "ExitOnCall" option. If the value of ExitOnCall (under HKLM\Software\l3v5y\FSD) is set to 1, the app will exit on a call/when the contacts app is opened.
0.20.02 has some bug fixes.
0.20 also uses windows default contact manager rather than iContact (EDITABLE).
0.20 adds selecatability of "silent" to show or supress error messages. Edit under HKLM\Software\l3v5y\FSD using the "Silent" parameter. 0 is off, 1 is on. Default is 0.
0.19.01 fixes a bug!
0.19 now changes the font size if the text string is longer than 10 digits long! (credit to lamandrion for the idea!)
0.18 adds choice of contacts app. (Change path under HKCU\Software\l3v5y\FSD using the contacts and contactsparm strings. If the paths start with "\", the path is assumed to be a full path, if it starts with anything else, it is assumed to be a local path to the FSD.exe file).
0.17 has better key mapping (left softkey does same as on screen call button, right softkey does same as on screen end button).
0.16 has some basic VGA support.
0.15.01 allows for skinning using any folder.
0.14.07 double click on backspace now removes last two numbers
0.14.06 changes hardware mapping (now the center button works...)
0.14.05 updates the XML file for AppToDate support
0.14.04 includes bug fixes from 0.14
0.14.04 adds skinning functionality (Change skin folder under HKLM\Software\l3v5y\FSD)
0.14 adds change of image when a number is pressed.
Download:
[/COLOR]Now with ATD support! (Click here to download!)
Get AppToDate!
Because of AppToDate support, it's easier for me to roll out updates by updating the cab linked above than uploading to this post.
Skinning:
Each skin consists of numerous files. Each number has two files, a normal image and a pressed image, as do all other buttons. The background image, only has one state, so only one image.
The number images and the call/end images are 80px by 60px for QVGA and 160px by 120px for VGA, although either size can be used as the images are scaled to fit.
The backspace arrow is 80px by 80px for QVGA and 160px by 160px for VGA, but, again the image can be either size as it is scaled.
The background is only shown in the top right behind the number. No transparency is used in the text, so the background image at this point should be white. The background can be 240x320 or 480x640.
All images should be *.jpg files.
The naming is as follows:
Unpressed numbers are named in single digit form e.g. the image for one is "1.jpg".
Pressed numbers are named in single digit form with press added on e.g. one is "1press.jpg".
The call key is "call.jpg" for normal, and "callpress.jpg" for pressed.
End is "end.jpg" for normal and "endpress.jpg" for pressed.
The background is "bkgd.jpg".
Backspace is "bkspc.jpg" normally and "bkspcpress.jpg" for the pressed image.
All the files should be placed in a single folder, and to apply the skin, the "skin" string under "HKCU\\Software\\L3v5y\\FSD" should be changed to whatever that folder is called.
Distinct AppToDate checks:
It's very thank you~~
Very nice!
And very usefull with this kind of keys...

ATM, pressing the up button closes the app, and the center button should dial the number.

If you press the green button with no number entered, it loads iContact, although I can change that. Pressing the end button with no number entered quits the app.

Same for me
Good work so far!
Two thinks that should be improved:
1.
When i dial a number there is some kind of notifcation bubble and there is the number i dialed. is it possible that this bubble shouldnt be shown?
i have read something here: http://www.vijay555.com/?Releases:VJPhoneTools
"\Program Files\vijay555\VJSMSSender.exe" 1234 -silent
The -silent delets the notification bubble for the sms!
It would be cool if this would work for calls, too.
2.
Hardwarebuttons doesnt work
Thank you, very nice app!

I don't get this bubble on WM5/6, but I can't test WM2003
The -silent doesn't work for the dialer and causes my program to crash if I attempt to call it
As for hardware buttons, I shall work out how to handle/intercept the Call/End buttons. For the moment though, the center button will call and the up button will quit.
EDIT: there was a mistake in my code... Just retesting it!
EDIT2: adding the -silent parameter has no effect on my device (WM6.1) but may do something...

Kudo's l3v5y, now I've finally found a better dialskin than the PaulyA's. (And there's someone else in the world that has no need for a "smart dialer", ehehe)
I use smartskey and use the Right D-Pad to go to Contacts, Up for Speeddial, Down for History and Left for PIE and it works flawlessly! One bad ass One Handed Dialer, IMO!
I took the liberty of modifying your 3b cab and hardcoded those two files in, compressed and make it not prompt for install loction so as to work with UC, I could post it if you'd like. (I, as always, take absolutely no credit, this is YOUR work)
Go ahead and post it! I have no objections...
I haven't set the paths to be hard coded 'cause the paths are all relative, and I use AppToDate to install it anyway... Also I can't work out how to make Visual Studio do it :s
BTW, the latest version (the 0.15.02) has fewer issues than the others, so you may want to update the exe in your cab!
14.0.7 latest build I see on the OP.... and my buttons are white, not the blue as in OP.... ??

[UPDATE][10/10/2008] TouchLaunch 0.0.3! so beautiful ( NET2&NET3.5 ) with some skins
0.0.4 version: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=437773
TouchLaunch is simple application launcher, which scans start menu shortcuts, and list them alphabetically. Kind of similar to scoll launcher
but this has new quick alphabetic scroll function. This is very early alpha and my first program release.
Features:
-finger scrolling
-quick alphabet shortcuts
-skinnable
-you can choose whether it closes after program launch or not

+You can use bitmaps as list item highlight
+6 premade skins
+closeAfterLaunch feature
[0.0.3][10/10/2008]
+backgroundbitmaps

Known "bugs":
-skin change takes about 5 sec... so don't panic
-if closeAfterLaunch feature is on and you switch to other application,
TouchLaunch will close in 2 seconds.
-if you try to launch phone ( or calendar ), it will launch softaware and after that it will crash...
-using bitmaps multiples memory usage, but you can avoid that using simpler skins
-menu is ugly
Requirements:
.NET CF 2.0
wm6 ( might work with wm5 ), i have only tested on emulator and on my elf
qvga or vga
Instructions:
Download and install the cab file
or download the zip file, extract it to any folder on your ppc and run the exe file.
Making new skins you can look example from premade skins in the skin folder at installation folder, two of them ( white.xml and original.xml ) are commented. Adding new just copy your skin xml file in the skins folder.
ToDo:
-better skin support
-adding some animations
-icons ( maybe someone could give me a hint )
-bug fixes
-landscape support
-performance tweaking
-optimizing memory usage
Feel free comment, and give me more ideas!
If like it, you can always donate to keep me motivated

Click to expand...

Yes, you can change all the colors and also change placements of different elements by modifying skin.xml file. It doesn't support using background bitmaps, but i'm planning to make that for nex release.
Every object has these attributes, which you can modify:
Code:
<ELEMENT>
<NAME>mainList</NAME>
<BGCOLOR>105105105</BGCOLOR>
<FORECOLOR>245245245</FORECOLOR>
<X>12</X>
<Y>0</Y>
<WIDTH>228</WIDTH>
<HEIGHT>268</HEIGHT>
</ELEMENT>
the colors are 9 digit RGB values ( example. BGCOLOR is 105105105, so it has 105 red, 105 green, 105 blue ). Make sure you always use three numbers, even if value is under 100, for example 5 -> 005.

Actually you can use select image, because it use the same KlistControl code base. Just copy png bitmap to execution folder and name it as select.png. The dimensions must match the dimensions configured in the skin.xml. So, by default it's 228x40.
Looks nice
Few pointers if I may it starts kind of slow it takes about 4 seconds to open it on my kaiser. And the search engine is kind of not finger friendly it,s hard to select a letter with your thumb. I think that bigger letters would do the trick for example you could place half of the alphabet on the left side of the screen and the rest on the right side or introduce the search engine similar to the one present in IContacts.
Great job

Thanks for responses and ideas!
The slow start time is mostly compact framework's fault, one idea is to let it run on background or switch to WIN32 api... but i did look up Icontact's source and felt it was not my kind of cookie But there's some tweaking that could be done. About the scroll touch, i find it quite good on my touch.
It helps to not really trying to hit right alphabet but instead follow what the on screen indexshower shows, and if it's wrong letter just slide your finger up or down. have to say that i'm not big fan of the idea dividing the alphabets but the Icontact alphabet's style could be an idea...
Btw. out of concept, but does anyone know any free coctail databases? Because i have done earlier a program that displays coctail recipes, but the database i use is something that i can't publish. firstly because i don't have authors permission and secondly because it's in Finnish It would perfect if database would be in XML format.
Just added a cab installer.
If the memory footprint is low and by saying low I mean less than 500kb then it's a good idea. WIN32 api??? Well that's double dutch to me
Well I think I've got too big thumbs While holding the phone in one hand I'm not able to access the alphabet with my thumb. I've tried pressing the alphabet area and then slide it up or down to choose a letter but I end up scrolling the list with applications up or down. So maybe widening the alphabet touch area would do the trick. Also I think that moving the indexshower to the upper or even upper right part of the screen would prevent it from being covered by a thumb while picking a letter.
I don't know any cocktail databases at least not free ones
Would it be possible to map it to the "all programs" soft key in TF3D?
Looks nice, thanks for the good work.
Installed and tried it. A pgm which works great. Very handy as I do not have every programs set for my iFonz icons. I couple of suggestions:
1) To group pgm names by alphabet, something like iContact. When the scroll reaches a particular alphabet, the alphabet will appear in the middle, more like you're selecting from the left alphabet option.
2) A handy A to Z table like iContact rather than the alphabets tiny-ly arranged on the left.
I can live with the color but if there's skin to select, it will be prefect.
Thank you for such brilliant pgm.
why netcf

It's more skinnable, you can change also font. And I made 6 example skins. I would love see few good custom skins in this thread, which i could add to next release.

The new version has the old color scheme and new white one, i would like i have some darker on like on scroll launcher also.. maybe some talented skinning artist in this forum could provide me that I'm not so talented with skin creating.

That's really great idea Anyone know, how to get path for todaywallpaper? I added background bitmap function to alphabet bar, but haven't yet tested it. I have also modifying the list control to support bg bitmaps... I think it would be in next version.
