Hi, I'm kind of new to the diamond scene and I've been having fun with programs like flip-it, but I much prefer touchpal to any other software input. However, when rotating to landscape touchpal is pretty garbage, and the default SIP is pretty useful in landscape... I was wondering if there is any program that can change the SIP based on screen rotation? I've found programs that can rotate the screen based on what program is running, or change SIP based on running program, but none that can change SIP based on screen rotation- is there anything that can do this?
PQzII is capable to have different SIPs against the orientations.

One of the most annoying things about the Wizard is that the OS doesn't know that I have a sliding keyboard, so if I open pocketIE with the keyboard open, it opens the virtual keyboard too. Is there anyway to have the virtual keyboard disabled when in landscape mode?
the OS knows... the programs don't. Coders themselves have to detect whether 1. the device supports an external keyboard and 2. if it does, whether it is active or not - and suppress the SIP if it is.
Can't say I know of anything that would make landscape-mode automatic, but you could download NullKB and change to that SIP to 'disable' the SIP. It would apply to portrait mode as well, though.
mine learns after a while, where you just hide the sip, it won't pop open automatically anymore
google nullkb
I have nullkb but it doesn't seem to work for me. I select it and it just stays in the current sip. Never switches. Help...
FakeSIP
This SIP is placeholder, so you don't see keyboard toggle if you select it as current input method.
This is useful if you use keys, but keyboard autoshow irritate you.
Install cab and select "Fake SIP" in menu.
When you need to use real keyboard, you can switch it, of course.
thanks m8.
Search xda-developers for "NullKB". Someone beat you to it by a few years.
On another note, I find NullKB to be indispensable in combination with PQzII. So when I slide out the keyboard the device switches to NullKB and prevents the soft kb from popping up. And when I slide back to portrait mode the SIP changes back to the soft KB.
I don't see PQzII talked about much anymore. It's hard to describe all its functionality, but in general it handle all sorts of keybinding and event-based behaviours.

Hey, guys!
I've tried to use NullKb, but got no stability in daily usage. Sometimes i can't select it - whatever i want to select, the build-in keyboard is choosen. I've thought that it NullKb's fault and I've made my own implementation [ didn't saw your Fake SIP, GreateVK, sorry ]
But even with it, sometimes I can't open the SIP which I want to use. Does anybody encountered sucha problems? And what the technical "background" of it?
Another trouble is that I can't set height of SIP to zero - it have the same height as every other SIP in system. I've even excluded SIP_DOCKED flag from IMINFO.fdwFlags, but it was a useless step. What is the right way to setup height of SIP control?
My little SIP stub [source code + binary] is attached
Is there a way to make the keyboard layout in Window Mobile 6 bigger? I have switched the layout icon in the keyboard setting to large, but I need it bigger for finger typing. The screen size of the Shift is perfect to have a virtual keyboard working; it would cut down on the wear and tear of sliding the keyboard tray every time in slate mode.

You might like one of the many full screen keyboards which are available, check the forum search or google. If you've installed RealVGA, you'll need a VGA version of the keyboard.
I was wondering if the layout could be mod to make it bigger instead of installing third party software. I am currently trying out the Resco Keyboard Pro and it's a great software.

The diamond/opal keyboards available have a feature to automatically switch keyboard type when switched to landscape mode, is there a way to change any type of registry so that the keyboard changed when switched to landscape would be null keyboard?? Or at least a tool that lets you choose which sip you would like on portrait and landscape modes would be an awesome help
PhoneAlarm has a setting for landscape and portrait default SIP, but I could not get it to work.
You can do this with Mortscript. Take a look in the script accumulation thread, there just may be one in there.
Hi, i installed S2U2 and my keyboard began to change its layout when i rotate the phone. On portrait its phone keyboard and on landscape it's QWERTY. I uninstalled S2U2, but it continued happening. Does anyone know how to stop this? Thanks in advance.
not sure whether that problem is related to s2u2... i think the reson for changing is that the phone keyboard is not available at all in landscape!? or are you sure that it was before installing s2u2?
regards jan
Hi,
I just checked it, there is no phone keyboard layout available in landscape mode.
I did not install a 3rd party keyboard software on my HD.
cheers Avalun.
