I have a programming question for all you out there...
Where can I find information on how to add a new item to the menu for Contact Manager? Either in the menu where you can select a profile to edit or in the menu during profile editing.
I know this can be done since SIM Manager and Google Maps add links in the first menu, but the programmer I'm working with doesn't know how!
Thanks!

I've developed a program that uses an online phonebook to look up numbers. In this case I want to change the context menu on Call History items so the user can look up unknown numbers directly by launching my application from the context menu. I also want to change the context menu of Contacts for the same purpose.
Does anybody know how this can be done, or know about some good article that explains this?

I would like to create a shortcut to a specific contact so that clicking on it takes you to the details page of that particular contact from where you can then choose how to contact that person (email, text, mobile phone, home phone, work phone).
So I've been messing with an lnk file:
1000#\Windows\poutlook.exe contacts ...
I tried -new as a command line parameter, and that works. I cannot figure out how to go to a specific contact. Then I found this discouraging thread:

There must be some way to do this. HTC Home has a similar function in their contacts tab. When you tap and hold a contact it takes you to that contact's detail page.
My end goal is to incorporate this into Mortbuttons ... I want a menu of favorite contacts, so when I click on any one, it takes me to the page where I can choose how to contact them. I'm surprised this doesn't exist, because that is the most intuitive way to do things. First you think of whom you want to contact, and only THEN do you think of how to contact them.
The challenge is up!
here's how its done
20#"\Windows\cprog.exe"-url tel: 0000000
that doesn't work. that calls the given phone number. I am looking for a link to a person's contact entry in Contacts. Please read my post above carefully.
I'd be interested in that as well. Anyone?
Wrote it already in my forum, but just in case...
I don't know of any way to do this from command line.
There is a way to show the contact page with COM/POOM (interface for programmers), which will be implemented in the upcoming MortButtons beta (probably tonight - CET).
It wasn't available so far because I still use eVC4 (because it's free and allows more easy support of systems up to including WM2003SE), which doesn't support new features of WM5 (like contact info page, contact image, contact ringtone, etc.) without some workarounds...
I would like to have IContacts open when I click onthe Contacts button in the spb menu. Is it possible to modify that buttons target?
Thanks in advance.

yes, its in the registry. under HKLM\Software\Spb Software House 2\Spb Mobile Shell\Menu\Root\Organizer\Contacts.
If you search this site, you can find a mortscript to do it.
If you have questions like these try posting them here instead of starting new threads. You'll get an answer if you ask there.
what i mean is if i get a call from a number that is not in my phone book and i decide to save that number after the call, when i save it it will usually save it as last name then first name. is there a way to change that. i know that if i go through contacts and add a new contact it will let me choose how to file that contact but is there a way to do that with "on the fly" contact saving?
you can change the name order before you save it for the first time. there is no need to save the contact then return to the contcat and change the name order.
The other option which i have used is a cab file which switches all the names with last name first around. Cannot remember what it was called, i need to find it again myself. will have a look for you!
regards
EDIT: just added the cab file below, hope this is useful in any way.
no i mean when i save a number directly from the call log or from the phone application, it will only give me three fields: first name, last name, number and the type of number (i.e mobile, home, etc.) it doesn't give me the option to change the file options. i know that this is possible through the contacts menu.
when you say file do you mean the order in which the names are shown in the contacts list?
Hey guys,
I was trying to edit some contact, and I want to copy last name and past it into first name. But although I select last name and keep it pressed, menu for copy and paste is not showing. Is this a bug or I'm doing something wrong..
No, you are not doing anything wrong.
It's because the custom Contact editor that HTC included with the Topaz doesn't support Copy/Paste.
Hopefully HTC will provide a fix for this in the upcoming months (or possibly with the 6.5 upgrade) But until then, you can either edit the contact using the WM Contact editor (which I think you can Copy/Paste) or just input all your names manually.
You can switch the SIP to "Keyboard" and then use CTRL+C and CTRL+V.
Tap the contact you want to edit, tap on "Edit Contact", scroll down and tap on "More".
There you will enter the default WM6 Contact editor where you can do the copy(cut)/paste thing you wanted to do.
Thanks,,,it's working!!
