Hi there,
First of all I tried searching on google and also in this forum itself but I cant find anything related and so i decided to create a new thread on this.
If there anyway via tweaking the registry that i can make use of the volume key on the blackstone to take pictures instead of using the touchscreen? I believe this is possible
I find taking picture using a touchscreen is really difficult.
I read from http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blackstone_Overview that this is possible by remapping the volume rocker.
Does any know how?
Will anyone be able to help?
I'm requesting this also. HTC should have made an option for us to choose for this from the beginning.
Request also here!
Sorry, I added this "remap volume rocker Solution" because I thought it was possible, but I actually didn't try it. So let's keep this thread to find a way to do it.
Remapping keys is through AE Button Plus or MobileMagic.
Right now we only have the choice of "touch" or "touch and hold" the virtual on-screen button to "auto-focus + shot".
We need to find out if there is any keyboard shortcut associated to that function.
I tried to use the "enter key" fonction remaped to Volume Up with AE Button Plus, but it didn't work.
Does the HTC Touch Pro have HTC's Camera application? maybe they know a keyboard shortcut? Let's ask.
I guess it will be possible.... just that we need the experts here to show us how to...
[APP] CameraButton
To solve this problem. I thought of a very simple solution:
Instead of us clicking the on-screen camera button, we need an application "CameraButton", which will click on the screen for us, then we just need to map a hardware button to that application.
Simple isn't it?
So here is the C# code for the CameraButton application:
Code:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using System.Diagnostics;
namespace CameraButton
{
class Program
{
[System.Runtime.InteropServices.DllImport("coredll.DLL", CharSet = System.Runtime.InteropServices.CharSet.Auto)]
public static extern IntPtr FindWindow(string lpClassName,string lpWindowName);
[System.Runtime.InteropServices.DllImport("coredll.DLL", CharSet = System.Runtime.InteropServices.CharSet.Auto)]
static extern bool SetForegroundWindow(IntPtr hWnd);
[System.Runtime.InteropServices.DllImport("coredll.dll")]
static extern bool SetCursorPos(int X, int Y);
[System.Runtime.InteropServices.DllImport("coredll.dll")]
static extern void mouse_event(uint dwFlags, uint dx, uint dy, uint dwData, int dwExtraInfo);
[Flags]
public enum MouseEventFlags
{
LEFTDOWN = 0x00000002,
LEFTUP = 0x00000004,
MIDDLEDOWN = 0x00000020,
MIDDLEUP = 0x00000040,
MOVE = 0x00000001,
ABSOLUTE = 0x00008000,
RIGHTDOWN = 0x00000008,
RIGHTUP = 0x00000010
}
static void Main(string[] args)
{
IntPtr cameraHandle;
cameraHandle = FindWindow(null, "Camera");//search camera app
if (cameraHandle == IntPtr.Zero)// cannot find it then launch it
{
Process cam = Process.Start(new ProcessStartInfo("Camera.exe", ""));
//cameraHandle = cam.MainWindowHandle;
}
else // can find it then set position then click
{
//SetForegroundWindow(cameraHandle);// we assume we already have the focus on the camera app
SetCursorPos(240, 750 );//set position to the on-screen camera button
mouse_event((uint)MouseEventFlags.LEFTDOWN, 0, 0, 0, 0);
mouse_event((uint)MouseEventFlags.LEFTUP, 0, 0, 0, 0);
}
}
}
}
Why do I give the code rather than the binary?
Because unfortunately this code doesn't work (yet).
Let me explain a bit more:
This application doesn't need to keep running in the background, it just can do 2 things. Start the camera app if it's not already started, or just click at a specifically chosen position.
If I set the position to (0,0), my program will click at the upper-left corner of the screen, and hit the start button, therefore the start menu appears.
However if I try to click on the camera application, it doesn't have any effect!
Actually if I click somewhere else than the on-screen camera button, it should still react to the click: the little cross should move to the clicked place as part of the Touch Focus feature of HTC's camera app.
But here again, nothing happen.
Since it's my first app on WiMo, I might have done a mistake somewhere, but I can't see where.
Any XDA-developer can spot what's wrong with my code?
please see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=471321
The Problem is the HTC Application, it blocks any keydown event
I did it Application released soon!

Hello,
I try to retrieve (then set) the volume, ring type ... of my XDA using TAPI
I call phoneInitializeEx, phoneOpen, phoneGetVolume but I always get the same value for the volume (even if I chnage it of course)
Does anybody knows why ?
Does anybody have and can post a sample code source showing how to unse these functiuns (phoneInitializeEx, phoneOpen, phoneGetVolume, phoneGetStatus ...)
Regards.
To set the phone volume (in mono) try:
Code:
set(DWORD dwVolume)
{
if (dwVolume > 0xFFFF) dwVolume = 0xFFFF;
dwVolume += dwVolume * 0x10000;
DWORD ret;
switch ((ret = waveOutSetVolume(0, dwVolume))) {
case MMSYSERR_NOERROR:
break;
case MMSYSERR_ERROR:
break;
case (etc....)
}
To get the volume, try:
Code:
DWORD get()
{
DWORD dwVolume;
DWORD ret;
switch ((ret = waveOutGetVolume(0, &dwVolume))) {
case MMSYSERR_NOERROR:
break;
case MMSYSERR_ERROR:
break;
case (etc...)
}
// Return average of left and right:
if (dwVolume > 0xFFFF) {
dwVolume = ((dwVolume & 0xFFFF) + (dwVolume / 0xFFFF)) / 2;
}
return dwVolume;
}
This is code for XDA I. I have not tried this on XDA II which as we know, has two volume channels.....
Ben.
I upgraded my XDA1 with WM2003 and I have 2 channels for the volume too.
I will try your code but I think this will change only the system volume (I will need to do that too so thanks) but not the phone volume.
First I want to pilot the phone settings (ring, volume...) from an application.
And it seems that only TAPI can do it... but it is not working for the moment
Glad the code will be useful.
If you find the correct method for XDA II, please let me know, I'll need it my self soon.
Ben
Your code works well to set/get the sytem volume
I just modifed it a little as the output is mono
Code:
//**********************************************************************
//Set The System Volume
//Steps (0,13107,26214,39321,52428,65535)
DWORD setVolume(DWORD dwVolume)
{
if (dwVolume > 0xFFFF)
dwVolume = 0xFFFF;
if (dwVolume < 0x0000)
dwVolume = 0x0000;
DWORD ret;
switch ((ret = waveOutSetVolume(0, dwVolume)))
{
case MMSYSERR_NOERROR:
break;
case MMSYSERR_ERROR:
break;
default :
break;
}
return 0;
}
//**********************************************************************
//Get The System Volume
DWORD getVolume()
{
DWORD dwVolume;
DWORD ret;
switch ((ret = waveOutGetVolume(0, &dwVolume)))
{
case MMSYSERR_NOERROR:
break;
case MMSYSERR_ERROR:
break;
default :
break;
}
dwVolume = (dwVolume & 0xFFFF);
return dwVolume;
}
But the phoneGetVolume still gives incoherent results
Someone see something wrong in the code below ?
I set the phone volume to 0 on the device but PhoneGetvolume send me 40092 ???
Code:
LONG result;
HPHONE hPhone;
DWORD dwVolume;
DWORD dwRingMode;
DWORD dwNumDevs= 01;
DWORD dwAPIVersion=0x00020002;
PHONESTATUS PhoneStatus;
HPHONEAPP hPhoneApp = 0;
PHONEINITIALIZEEXPARAMS PhoneInitializeExParams;
PhoneInitializeExParams.dwTotalSize = 2 * sizeof(PHONEINITIALIZEEXPARAMS);
PhoneInitializeExParams.dwOptions = PHONEINITIALIZEEXOPTION_USEEVENT;
// PhoneInitializeExParams.dwOptions = PHONEINITIALIZEEXOPTION_USEHIDDENWINDOW;
result = phoneInitializeEx(&hPhoneApp,NULL,NULL,NULL,&dwNumDevs,&dwAPIVersion,&PhoneInitializeExParams);
result = phoneOpen(hPhoneApp, 0, &hPhone, dwAPIVersion, 0, 0,PHONEPRIVILEGE_OWNER);
result = phoneGetVolume(hPhone,PHONEHOOKSWITCHDEV_SPEAKER,&dwVolume); //range 0x00000000 to 0x0000FFFF (65535)
In fact when I set the phone volume using
PocketSetVolume the vlaue is well saved because I get it when I use after PocketGetVolume.
But the phone volume is not really changed ?
Nobody has a sample that uses these functions ?
Or not obligatory these functions but others functions that change the phone volume ?

I have found that by changing the following registry keys, I can change the volume of the Phone
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Volume]
"Ringer"=dword:00000000
Use hex 00000000, 33333333, 66666666, 99999999, cccccccc, ffffffff
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Ring]
"InitVol"=dword:00000000
Use hex 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
This work beautifully for my Qtek running WM2003, but I have tried the same approach for the system-volume by changing
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Volume]
"Volume"=dword:00000000
Use hex 00000000, 33333333, 66666666, 99999999, cccccccc, ffffffff
But this does not work! I have checked the registry and the value goes in correctely (The in-system volum control stores the same values in the same key).
How can I use the above code-snippets from the .Net Compact Framework? (I'm guessing a P/Invoke but what DLL is the call hidden in)
Cato
I am trying to make it works, but fail...please let me know if you know how to use the registry to update it...my email is
[email protected]
Thanks
I used the P/Invoke sample from Microsoft to get a working sample that read and updated the registry, and simply tried all possible combo's of a 4byte-array to see what would produce the correct result
Cato
I found a article mention it !!!
http://www.cegadgets.com/winceregfaq.htm#2.8 Where are volume and sound settings stored?
Not sure it works or not !!!
Please let me know if you know how to use the AudioUpdateFromRegistry, defined in coredll
Thanks :wink:
One more acticle !!!
http://www.pocketpcdn.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=111
But I dunno how to make it works.
Any runnable example?
Hello,
after many tries I didn't find how to use TAPI functions ... this seems not towork ..
But you can change all the phone settings (volume, ring mode, ring tone, notifications ...) in the registry ... as I did for PocketZenPhone
See under that key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel
For the system volume I use the functions I posted upper
Hey, any example to do it?
Thanks zendrui
If you use EVC
Simply open the registry key
HKEY Key;
RegOpenKeyEx(HKEY_CURRENT_USER,_T("\\ControlPanel\\Volume"),0,0,&Key);
Then use RegQueryValueEx to retrieve the value/setting you want
Hi zendrui,
I am able to update the registry, but I am not able to call AudioUpdateFromRegistry to notify the system to update the status from registry.
Could you able to exeute this API?
Thanks,
Paul
Sorry for the last post didn't have the keys in my mind
So to change the phone volume here are the keys needed
Code:
//dwPhoneVolumeLevel between 0 and 0xFFFFFFFF
res = RegOpenKeyEx(HKEY_CURRENT_USER,_T("\\ControlPanel\\Volume"),0,0,&Key);
if (res == ERROR_SUCCESS)
{
res = RegSetValueEx(Key,_T("Ringer"),0,REG_DWORD,(LPBYTE)&dwPhoneVolumeLevel,sizeof(DWORD));
if (res != ERROR_SUCCESS)
{
RegCloseKey(Key);
return -1;
}
}
RegCloseKey(Key);
//dwInitVol between 1 and 5
res = RegOpenKeyEx(HKEY_CURRENT_USER,_T("\\ControlPanel\\SoundCategories\\Ring"),0,0,&Key);
if (res == ERROR_SUCCESS)
{
res = RegSetValueEx(Key,_T("InitVol"),0,REG_DWORD,(LPBYTE)&dwInitVol,sizeof(DWORD));
if (res != ERROR_SUCCESS)
{
RegCloseKey(Key);
return -1;
}
}
RegCloseKey(Key);
It changes the phone volume and the display
PS : I post this code hoping is to help people to develop freewares (or low low cost software :wink
COOL !!! Thanks zendrui !!!!
Now I can set the Ringer volume !!!
How about set the system sound volume?
Fot the system volume see upper of this thread I posted the code I use. It works perfect
O yes...It works under eVC++
Let me try to implement it in VS.NET
Thanks

Hi,
I am trying to simulate a PictureBox.Click event. I have searched these forums and the ones on MSDN with many different combinations of search terms.
However I cannot find anything!
Basically what I am trying to achieve is to fire the picturebox's click event from within my code. What I have read so far seems to indicate that I need to make a call to SendMessage (COM interop?) to actually make windows perform the click.
This is for the compact framework version 1.0.
Any help you can give would be great because this is all very new to me, I'm a web application developer by trade so i'm a fish out of water on this one!
OK, the other method that I am investigating is the use of the mouse_event as demonstrated in this article by Daniel Moth.
However I am struggling to find the namespace Win32Api anywhere in the framework so I'm struggling with that also.
*Update*
I have been able to simulate a click using mouse_event in a call to the coredll using the following code:
Code:
[DllImport("coredll")]
static extern bool SetCursorPos(int X, int Y);
[DllImport("coredll")]
static extern void mouse_event(uint dwFlags, uint dx, uint dy, uint dwData, int dwExtraInfo);
[Flags]
public enum MouseEventFlags
{
LEFTDOWN = 0x00000002,
LEFTUP = 0x00000004,
MIDDLEDOWN = 0x00000020,
MIDDLEUP = 0x00000040,
MOVE = 0x00000001,
ABSOLUTE = 0x00008000,
RIGHTDOWN = 0x00000008,
RIGHTUP = 0x00000010
}
bool tempVal = SetCursorPos(x, y);
mouse_event((uint)MouseEventFlags.LEFTDOWN, 0, 0, 0, 0);
mouse_event((uint)MouseEventFlags.LEFTUP, 0, 0, 0, 0);
however I have one outstanding problem (that I know of!).
I am struggling to capture the corrext X and Y co-ordinates of the control. I have tried many different methods and they all return values of 0 for both axis.
How do you guys do it?
Many Thanks
I haven't answered till now since I don't know .NET
But since you found your way to using native APIs I think I can help you.
This is how I would do it in C/C++:
Code:
RECT wndRect; //this is a structure that contains window top, left, bottom and right coordinates.
GetWindowRect(FindWind(L"[I]window class[/I]", L"[I]window name[/I]"), &wndRect);
x = wndRect.left + 1; //add 1 to window position to make sure the click is inside
y = wndRect.top + 1;
GetWindowRect returns the window position in screen coordinates for top left and bottom right corners.
For FindWindow to work you need to know the class and name of the window you want to find. You can find them using a utility called SPY++ which comes with any Microsoft C++ compiler.
The class is window type (so it will probably be something like 'PictureBox' or 'Image') and window name is most likely blank.
Hope this helps.
Thanks fo your help
I don't know if your code would have done the trick or not but I managed to work my way through the different class definitions to find what i needed.
Code:
int x = selectedButton.PointToScreen(selectedButton.Bounds.Location).X + 2;
int y = selectedButton.PointToScreen(selectedButton.Bounds.Location).Y + 2;
This still doesn't work but I really don't have time to work out why, all I know is that the call to SetCursorPos() returns false. I know the mouse_event code works because if I position the cursor over the Start button it opens the menu.
Time is of an essence so for now I'm just going to have to drop this and pray that I have time to finish this when towards the end of my project.
/me thinks writing my first Mobile 5.0 application in 4 days (I'm a web application developer by trade) was bad planning on the management's fault anyway
Thanks for your input though
use this method signature:
[DllImport("coredll")]
public static extern void mouse_event(int dwFlags, int dx, int dy, int dwData, int dwExtraInfo);
int instead of uint or long.
For me it worked.
Does anyone know how to invoke the tactile feedback from an app. Specifically, I am writing my own keyboard but i would like to generate the little pulses when my virtual keys are pressed. I cant find anything on how to actually do this. presumably it's just one system call.
I have a HTC touch pro 2, so i want to get it working on this at first.
thanks for any help,
You just have to vibrate the phone for a very small time, around 20-50ms.
I don't think there's an API for "haptic feedback", it's just a vibration.
It is just touch-vibrate like you said
Just a tip:
The vibration motor is like the led on your device to handle.
Also the vibration/led id is different on different devices!
Hi,
That's what i was thinking too. I'm going to try the WM Vibrate/VibrateGetDeviceCaps/VibrateStop functions to see if they will do it.
If anyone knows if there's more too it than this, please advise.
thanks,
Unfortunately the Vibrate API does not work. These smartphones are actually pocketPC which doesnt support the API.
Intead i use the NLED interface with led=1. This seems to work to create a basic pulse, but i dont know of any way to adjust the strength of the pulse or even if that's possible.
this is what im doing:
Code:
static void LedOn(int id)
{
NLED_SETTINGS_INFO settings;
settings.LedNum= id;
settings.OffOnBlink= 1;
NLedSetDevice(NLED_SETTINGS_INFO_ID, &settings);
}
static void LedOff(int id)
{
NLED_SETTINGS_INFO settings;
settings.LedNum= id;
settings.OffOnBlink= 0;
NLedSetDevice(NLED_SETTINGS_INFO_ID, &settings);
}
static void key_hepatic_feedback()
{
LedOn(1);
Sleep(20);
LedOff(1);
}
No, the strength isn't adjustable. You can only control the duration.
Help...!! I'm new with WM developing,
There are 4 questions I'm about to ask about HTC HD2 using WM6.5:
1. How to disable hardware function and handle their event 'on press' for every HW button (such as Home, Window, Talk, End and Back button)?
So far, I just able to disable it using :
[DllImport("coredll.dll")]
private static extern bool UnregisterFunc1(KeyModifiers modifiers, int keyID);
[DllImport("coredll.dll", SetLastError = true)]
public static extern bool RegisterHotKey(IntPtr hWnd, // handle to window
int id, // hot key identifier
KeyModifiers Modifiers, // key-modifier options
int key //virtual-key code
);
Buttons that I can successfully disable are Volume Up, Volume Down, Back, and Talk.
There is no way I can handle or disable Windows, Home and end button.
I have a trick by disable Window button:
IntPtr hTaskBar = FindWindow("HHTaskBar", null);
EnableWindow(hTaskBar, false);
But when I try to lock and unlock the screen using end button, Window button function will not disable anymore.
So far, some forums mention about SHCMBM_OVERRIDEKEY and handle the message by using Microsoft.WindowsCE.Forms.MessageWindow,
and again I still don't know how to attach MessageWindow to my foreground application
2. I'd like if my panel finger gesture behavior works as well as ListView or DataGrid. So, I found a library that can help me.
code.msdn.microsoft.com/gestureswm/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=3146
Unfortunatelly, it makes my controls in panel flicker badly. Do you have any other alternative?
3. To handle bluetooth, I'm using
[DllImport("BthUtil.dll")]
public static extern int BthGetMode(out BluetoothMode dwMode);
[DllImport("BthUtil.dll")]
public static extern int BthSetMode(BluetoothMode dwMode);
and InTheHand.Net Library to send data.
But since I'm starting with this device, I even cannot deactive the Bluetooth.
Can you help me with this Bluetooth control and data communication?
4. Since I'm using virtual keyboard as my input, How to define what kind of input panel it will show?
For Example, if my Textbox1 is focused, I have to show Numeric Keypad.
But if Textbox2 is focused, I have to show Qwerty keyboard.
Thank you very much.
PS : I'm using C# for developing the application. It'll be very good if you give me a C# example for those questions.
I know this is a few months old, and I don't wanna ressurect it per-say - and i'm not farmiliar with the rules as it relates to posting on these forums, but i've been viewing them forever, and as a member for a few months at least, and i've got to say that disabling the END key is a must for the HTC HD2, especially for Android NAND. At present with my phone, and thousands of others, everytime we press the END button, the screen stops being responsive. Funny thing is, if i NEVER press the end button, my screen works great. I end calls using the screen, and i've installed 'Button Saviour' from the market to use the 'END' button virtually on-screen, and I wake the phone using any of the other 4 buttons, save for 'END', and i get no problems. It's the Damned signal sent to the screen from the END button that causes the screen to disable and never re-enable the digitizer - I am just supposing these things, I'm in no way or shape a developer... Just something to think about?
This could be the end to thousands of HTC HD2 end user issues relating to lockscreen lock up in Android or otherwise...
Hey guys,
I am not getting any response on Stack Overflow so I thought I would try here.
At this point I am suspicious that it is a Samsung device specific problem. A very basic app with just a single button produces the same issue on my S4 development device.
Here is me SO question:
I have a button on one of my fragments, that sits inside a relative layout.
It's a rather large button, and when I fat finger it I get a ACTION_CANCEL motion event rather than ACTION_DOWN (it works perfectly fine with finger tips). This prevents it from registering the subsequent ACTION_UP (I assume the view's parent is taking over). I tried using the requestDisallowInterceptTouchEvent() method on the parent, to no avail.
Here is my onTouch implementation:
Code:
@Override
public boolean onTouch(View view, MotionEvent event) {
//debugging
Log.v("TOUCH EVENT", event.toString());
int action = event.getAction();
if (action == MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN) {
mButton.getParent().requestDisallowInterceptTouchEvent(true);
//Do stuff...
return true;
} else if (action == MotionEvent.ACTION_UP) {
//Do other stuff...
return true;
} else if (action == MotionEvent.ACTION_CANCEL){
return false;
//Toast.makeText(context, "Your thumb is too fat.", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
return false;
}
Note that the button also uses custom background resources. I start an AsyncTask when the button is pressed and the background changes based on the progress of that task. I'm not sure if that has anything to do with the problem or not.
EDIT: I walked all the way up the View hierarchy to ViewRootImpl, and still no luck in calling requestDisallowInterceptTouchEvent() on it. Weird thing is this shows in the log when my button sticks:
Code:
08-26 11:06:15.287: D/ViewRootImpl(5428): [ViewRootImpl] action cancel - 1, s:31 s(atmel):-1.0 eccen:1.3333334
So obviously it seems that the action is either being cancelled before it even gets inside the ViewRootImpl or right after. How is this even possible?
Update: Still no progress on this... anyone?

Mmmh strange problem you've got there... Just an idea, maybe try to always return true in your onTouchEvent() method since you may be losing the event when an ACTION_MOVE event comes up and you return false. Other than that, could you show us your layout file? I doubt the change in background color has any effect on this, but it could be that some part of your layout is causing this.

Does anyone have a solution to this yet? More specifically, I think it's the Samsung's own implementation of ViewRootImpl that is causing this problem. I've been trying to figure out for a long time how to either pre-empt ViewRootImpl to intercept MotionEvents, or completely override ViewRootImpl. I found no success in either of these.
I also thought about reading from /dev/input/eventX directly, but this isn't feasible since it requires the phone to be rooted first. For myself it's ok, but if I'm writing an app for other devices that's not a solution.
Can someone from Samsung help?
