opening/sliding keybord makes the screen rotate. Can i also map a nother function to it? is it pasible to map it like any other button?
it would be very useful if i could slide the keybord and the devise would turn on.
when the keybord is open the device is allways on. i find it unhandy to rotate the devise after swiching it on with the button. It would be so much faster to just open it.
anyone seen such thing? on maybe its easy to make?
or am i the firsth on who fought of it?

HTC Wizard and so....
recognizes hardware keyboard slide out and changes screen orientation.
should be there some hardware switcher.
if so:
how to determine this swither status and use it in code,
for example to to turn the power on when keyboard is sliding out?
Well, when the screen orientation changes all top-level windows should get a WM_SETTINGCHANGE message. Can't think of anything else off the top of my head.
have you tried...

Not sure if there's an event (the keyboard driver may simply be calling all the required code), but the call in that article should hopefully tell you whether the keyboard is slid out or not; means you'd have to check periodically, I guess.
thanks for suggestions, but it did not helped.
I can recognize if the keyboard slide out/in, by the registry key.
nothing special hard.
but this registry key is defined at the moment when keyboard slide in/out but only when the poer is running. when you change keyboard when device sleep (power off), then when you turn the power up, you observe a second delay before the scrfeen orientation changes and refreshes.
I want to write appliaction which will turn the power up when the keyboard will slide out. I know how to write application which runs even when the device sleeps, but I need any event of keyboard changes.
once you figured out how to correctly detect the keyboard sliding out, maybe you could also make a little application which hides the keyboard in all application once the keyboard is open (for example with a keyboard of zero pixels high) When the keyboard is closed, the last used or standard keyboard should be made active again...
CIAO!
VOODOOS!L
You all will get surprised...but the screen rotation is hrdware dependent and what hardware..is a junction where two magnets meets and the force causes the thing to rotate...similar to the design of Nokia 6800...one can veryfy by using a magnet...and many of our friends hv experienced with the magnetic cover which comes with the handset..
I am looking for a way for landscape to be the default view.
I have tried many things but once the keyboard is opened and closed, the screen goes back to portrait.
Any help would be appreciated.
-bridic-
nope... not doable I guess... there is some app out there that can sense if it's in one mode and switches to another but that basically means u have 2 switches and even more lag... there is no way to keep it on landscape mode I guess because there is some magnetic reaction that happens when u open the keyboard which can't be turned off...
that is just what I read on forums trying to find answer to same problem... i gave up
Thanks for the info.
Is there a way to map this to a hardware button? I know that there are a few programs out there for mapping additional features to the hardware button.
well ya u can map rotate to a button even with regular buttons mapping setting.
Settings - Personal - Buttons
Pick your button and choose Rotate Screen it's one of the first fiew in the list... (sorry if it's not exactly Rotate Screen im running on memory here)
If I want to change the orientation the screen I tap on the orientation button and the screen became landscape but when I extract the keyboard the screen return portrait... so I want that when I replaice the keyboard the screen come back to landscape... is it possible???
ok... no solution...
Why not press the orientation button while the keypad is still out?
because I don't want to tap the orientation everytime...
set a hw button to rotate the screen, works fine with pcmkeyboard

The device was designed to work on portrait.. so it will insist on going portrait.
You may ask vjay555 on this forum to write you a simple program that will force your device to stay on landscape. A very good developer.. he makes simple tools like that. He's a mod here.
File name for Execute Rotate Screen ???
Ussually I use from HTC Home, but I will assign at Left Softkey with program that can rotate the screen. I don't know the file name??? Is It in Windows Directory???
Thanks for sharing
Hi guys, it is my first thread... and my question.. is

Bye... and thnks.

Settings/System/Screen - Landscape
Why would you want to do this? The phone automatically rotates the display for you, and there's a built-in keyboard...

Map either the left or right button to rotate the screen. Start>Settings>Buttons

thanks!!!!
Only it will turn back of you open and close the keyboard. AFAIK there is no way how to keep it in landscape.
You can go to Settings > Buttons to map one of the silver keys to rotate the screen for you when you press it.
Recently find there are many rotate screen program for HTC model which has a G-sensor bulit in.
Any idea if there is any similar program for X1, that is to rotate the screen by the active application you are runnig.
THx!
you can rotate from inside settings
but x1 don't have a G-sensor so you have
to do it manualy
simply set one of the buttons to 'rotate'
this way all u have to do is press the button, yea, its that easy
start>settings>buttons
I have mapped my left button to "rotate screen" and my right to "alt+tab". I am happy haha.
thanks guys
I am actually using ae button to map my left key to do it. just thinking if there is any software could have intelligent to remember the rotation preference.
