The New button problem...

How I can change the New button mode from my program?
I.e. I want the New button without combo (Contacts, Excel, Note, etc) on the right.
When my program is closed the button state should be restored to default.
Is it possible?
Thanks a lot.

i asume that all button asigning is inside the registry
so if you when you start your program do a backup of the registrys
you want to change and when your programs is closed your reasign the registrys that were there before
you may want to do some handling of the program being minimized aswell since CE programs dont really close when you close them but just minimize

Thanks a lot.
But is there an API way (or some other documented way) to do this?

Which function you use the most in smartskey

Hi, would like to know what do you think about smartskey.

The softkey remap adding both Start Menu and Close functionality is really what brings real convienience to using my K-JAM.
The other features are nice, but I rarely use them.
When using OmapClock, I prefer to add my own startup and notifcation events.
Edit: the "alternate" startmenu key function is brilliant! I now use GSPocketMagic and it works great!

First of all, thank you very much for this great piece of work.
Softkey remap is used most often. Volume key remap is the next most used.

This is a wonderful bit of work. I use the dpad mapping about 98% of the time I use the phone. I also use the close with right soft key mapping fairly frequently and the volume key mapping to disable the today screen volme control (safety first!) and for scrolling within apps. Postal and Paypal gratitude forthcoming.

New function to close screen and block buttons
Hi,
I think it will be very very usefull to have a button which blocks all the buttons and toggle off the screen. It would make the program almost perfect!

there sholud be checkboxes instead of radioboxes in this poll. i'd check all options besides volume key remapping, because i prefer it to stay with its original function. if i could suggest anything new, it would be some piece of GUI placed in Settings window for configuring smartskey. editing smartskey.ini every time after installing new version is not quite convenient way, mostly when it's unicoded in some strange way and not every text editor can handle it (gedit in GNOME - for example - can't).

Good Alt-Tab application?

Magic Button shows running apps and lets manage them with stylus.
But I want to switch between apps and close them using ONLY keyboard.
Ideally, task switching should be performed with one button press!
Do you have any suggestions?

For example, with he PHM AltTab I've often elaborated on in my articles. I've uploladed it for you to http://www.winmobiletech.com/sekalaiset/AltTab.exe
Works great on my Universal after associating it with a hardware program launcher button

What exactly does this do?

Thanks! I will try it.

I use PQz to use my SYM key as an Ctrl/Alt key, this way I have Alt-TAB. It also gives you every Ctrl-combination (Ctrl-c!) and lets you make your own combinations for programs, shortcuts, phonenumbers etc. Since I used PQz, I stopped using shortcuts on my today screen.

where is the Contacts application?

Hello there,
Can someone please provide a definite answer. Where is the Contacts application and how to run it? I've tried many variations... Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

You apparently remapped the Contacts button on the Today screen by installing Nadavi End Key, whatever that is. Hard reset your device and the Contacts button will reappear and then be careful what you install.
Until then, try starting the Phone app and the left soft key hopefully will be Contacts; or after ending a call you should get a screen with a Contacts button.

PocketCM V.17 just came out...
You could try loading it and giving it a testdrive. Maybe it will work out better than the default contacts app. Might even re-map the contacts button correctly for you too.
Just a thought...

Contacts shortcut is
/windows/AppButtons/Contacts.LNK
Ive uploading the Reg key for the Right Soft key (contacts) if you want it. Just use a reg editor like PHM Registry Editor to import it.

found a solution
I ended up using the link
Windows\Start Menu\Contacts.lnk
Many thanks to all of you for your assistance

New SMS link to home screen?

is there a way to do this, our maybe just a shortcut to the quick menu (same as the one that launches when you slide open Keypad. Or it would be nice to assign it a key via a good key map ap since the built in key map ap doesn't have settings for long press :-(
Suggestions any1?

Hi
U can Use 'AE Button Plus' where U can assing a long press to eny button, or U can sinply remap one of your soft keys
shlomi.

Cool, ok thanks, I just thought there was a way to call the quick tasks which is already there in the phone, and launches when you slide out flip.
Will try AE.
Thanks!

Hi,
I was just about to post the same question. Is it possible to call up the "keyboard quick tasks" that you get when you slide open the phone as a hard button or a soft button (task or something).
Anyone know?

Hi
the task screen can be lunched by mapping one of your soft keys to windows\HTCActionScreen.exe , or u can copy a shortcut of this file to the windows\start menu\programs then u will be able to assign a hardware button to it.
shlomi.

I uses AEButtons, I assigned a button as LAUNCH A PROGRAM
Which options do I need of creating a new SMS ?

\windows\tmail.exe -service "SMS" -to ""

Thanks a million!

Thanks!!
Aside from AE is there another ap I can use to map? I want to map to a softkey? Instead of calendar I want to put that i also want to remap the contacts soft key to the "phone" menu.

Hi,
Try this: http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-remap-softkeys.html
It worked for me

This one might be even better for your newSMS shrtcut:
http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-keyswop-v0-2-1.html

for some reason, this doesnt work... i click on browse etc, and nothing happens...

Thanks guys, do any of these aps allow long press action as well atleast you get 4 actions on two buttons
Wish dual had more buttons really like the tytnII :-( I can even find button 2 and 3 which is specified on the buttons application wheer voice recorder and voice commander are mapped too :-(

By the way I got it to work with remap softkey, I used this one coz I am already like the HTC quicktask launcher

I got wisbar advance in the end... thats got a soft button app built into it... which works...
and i also got the htc action commander thing for new txt, new email etc...

hey thanks for the shortcut. one thing tho, the cursor goes to the body first anyway to get it in the "to:" field?

Right now im using Ultimate Launcher and have programmed some gesture action to work with HTC action
