Calendar softkey - how to default to month view?

Everytime i press the calendar softkey it defaults to day view, i then have to change it to month view. Checking the calendar later the view will revert to day view. I have tried changing my outlook view on my pc to month view (which is what i have anyway) but this has no affect.
Is there a reg tweak for this?

yes, there is. I use Agenda Fusion, the app for the week view is \Program Files\Agenda Fusion\FusionViewWeek.exe. This has to go in HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112\Open. Don't remember if I had to do a soft reset after changing the value.
:arrow: Be advised: This only works with Agenda Fusion; for other software, use the appropriate path and file name.[/b]

thanks for your help but i thing you have misunderstood my request, i would prefer to continue using the standard calendar that comes pre-installed on the device rather than use a third party app. I just want it to default to month view when i open it.[/quote]
Yes, I understood you. I don't know how the internal calendard handles week and different views; if it's with a different .exe, you can use this solution. Otherwise, try switching to a different view and look at changed settings in the registry.

that sounds like a good idea, where in the registry would you recommend i look? (i can make changes to the registry but i just dont know where everything is if you know what i mean)

Make a shortcut to:
Code:
poutlook.exe calendar -vm

Good tip vijay
If you want to map left softkey to this link - then place link in \windows say 'Calendar Month.lnk'
and then edit registry
HKCU\software\microsoft\today\keys\112\
'open' value name = ''\windows\calendar month.lnk''
and soft reset

Calendar month view cab
Always have month view appear when you press calendar softkey
I put together a cab that will automatically do this for you.
Install and soft reset
also included are day view or agenda view versions - unzip to find the cab

So...
Does that mean there is NOT a reg tweak we can implement? I would rather the calendar ALWAYS open to month view no matter how I load the calendar.
Thanx.

Yes there is a reg tweak and it is detailed above - the cab does the reg tweak and installs a lnk file so it always opens on month view on softkey use but not on today calendar tapping. Is that what you wanted as well?

Yes.
In fact, I'm not at all interested in the softkey approach. I am just wanting a reg tweak that will force the calendar (no matter how I get to it) to default to the month view.
Thanx.

dma97701: There's no global override in the registry.
First, understand the idea: to launch the calendar, the OS runs PocketOutlook, with a command line "calendar", thus
Code:
poutlook.exe calendar
To force this to launch in month view, you need to launch
Code:
poutlook.exe calendar -vm
Now, you need to edit this wherever you want to launch the calendar from - whether that's a today screen launcher, start menu, soft key, hardware key, whatever. There's no global override in the registry.
So, to do this for the start menu, find your "Calendar.lnk" file and edit the properties of the shortcut, using a good fileexplorer like GSFinder.
To do this for the softkeys, do the above anyway, and then point the registry key
Code:
HKCU\software\microsoft\today\keys\112\
to the above Calendar.lnk.
If you JUST want the softkey method, use Mark's enclosed cab file, which will do the whole thing for you if you're uncomfortable with editing the registry.

Odd!!
I have the opposite problem! When I press the Calendar softkey it defaults to Month view - I actually want it to default to Agenda. If I tap the Today screen directly it stays in whatever view I last had Calendar in. Maybe the firmware affects how the softkey functions? I'm using the latest T-Mobile UK ROM.
Any ideas how I can set the softkey to open in Agenda view?
Cheers,
Tim

poutlook.exe calendar -va
poutlook.exe calendar [-vx] [-dx] [-new]
Parameters
-vx
Specifies the view to display. x can be a = agenda view, d = day view, w = week view, m = month view, y = year view, and l = lunar view (on builds that support lunar calendars).
-dx
Specifies the date to view. x can be either a date, or an offset in days. The date format is yyyymmdd. For example, -d20050102 represents 01/02/2005. The offset format is [-]x, where x ranges from -999 to 999. For example, -d-3 represents three days ago, and -d5 represents five days from now.
-new
Opens an edit card for a new Appointment or a new Meeting Request.

Shortcut does nothing??
Thanks for the reply. If I create a shortcut to "\Windows\poutlook.exe calendar -vm" or even just "\Windows\poutlook.exe calendar" it doesn't do anything at all. If I just create a shortcut to "poutlook.exe" it does nothing, but at least explorer recognises it as a shortcut (which it doesn't if I have any parameters after the exe at all).
I'm using Total Commander to edit the shortcut and have tried putting it in quote marks, putting the Windows folder in the path, leaving out "calendar", putting it in, adding a dash (poutlook.exe -calendar) and nothing's working! What am I doing wrong?
Thanks again,
Tim

In GSFinder it looks like this:
Code:
"poutlook" calendar -va
opening it directly in Notepad, your .lnk should look like this:
Code:
27#"poutlook.exe" calendar -va

On mine if I start the calendar with either the soft key or the hard key
and it defaults to whatever view is set in the menu.
Startup calendar, in the bottom right of the screen click on MENU/VIEW
and choose the view you want ie: Month,Agenda etc.
On mine it sticks to that view even after a reset.
Dave...

Working!
Brilliant, thanks everyone. The problem was that I hadn't put quote marks around the exe. Changed the shortcut and set the registry key and it works perfectly! Interestingly, the softkey was preset to use something called "HTCCalendar.exe" in \Windows - and that's what always defaults to the Month view.
Cheers,
Tim

thanks for all your help guys, thats exactly what i wanted.

excellant hack!! I had been wondering if there was a way to do that. The day view is useless to me. Month view is where the money's at. 8)

Remap left softkey on Today screen?

Greetings,
I'd like to remap the left softkey on the Today screen to go to something else besides calendar. I've searched all the forums and have turned up several apps (vijaytoggletoday, smartskey, and some others) but they all seem to be geared toward either totally removing the soft key menu bar from the Today screen, or changing the behavior of the hardware soft key buttons. I just want to change what the left soft key points to from Calendar to something else. I saw a post sometime ago where someone had remapped it to Comm Manager, so I know it's possible. How do I do it?
Thanks!
SP

Search google for soft key changer.
Also available on Buzzdev.net
Also in a registry hack on the wiki, in the Today keys.
V

what did you find that removed the softkeys all together?
Regarding remapping, look for SoftKeyApplet or SoftKeyAppletEx ..

To change the application launched by the Today screen Left soft key:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft \Today\Keys\112\Open = "\Windows\Calendar.exe" (REG_SZ string, including quotes)
To change the title of the Left soft key:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft \Today\Keys\112\(Default ) = Calendar (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
To change the application launched by the Today screen Right soft key:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft \Today\Keys\113\Open = "\Windows\Calendar.exe" (REG_SZ string, including quotes)
To change the title of the Right soft key:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft \Today\Keys\113\(Default ) = "Calendar" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
Note that 113 normally doesn't exist by default, and probably needs to be created Also note that there is at least 1 application that allows you to set these through a GUI, developed by FdcSoft called SoftKeyAppletEx
gravejoker vjtoggletodayII will remove the softkeys

Thanks guys...
Chaotic, exactly what I was looking for.. .thanks!
Grave, as chaotic said, vijaytoggletoday will do it, as well as DCINoBar.

To access the call log, you can do it programmatically, or use VJPhoneShortcuts.

Please who can help me with a registry hack to set the incoming/outcoming calls instead of the calendar button ?

Nobody know which is the .exe file that start the incoming/outcoming call list ? Thanks

I dont think you can get to the call history using an exe file .. has to be done programatically ..

I think I already indicated above, VJPhoneShortcuts.

First you must install "NewMenu", then create a new item, then choose "callhistory.exe" from windows folder. That's easy!

There isn't callhistory.exe in the windows folder.

Try what Vijay suggested .. that should give you shortcuts to the Call history and Speed dial .. then remap one of the soft keys to it ..
And no .. I dont think there's any CallHistory.exe anywhere ..

Change softkeys in todayscreen

Hello,
Simple question: when in the Today screen, the left softkey is a shortcut to Calendar and the right one is a shortcut to Contacts.
Where/How can I change these assignments?
Thanks!
Jörg

Read the Wiki on WM5 tweaks. There are programs for it though for easy changes.. I think it is called softkeys.cab (or something like that).

Thanks!
Jörg

Don't you have Comm Manager on your right softkey?

Nope... The default setting on my TyTN (HTC branded) is Calendar and Contacts. Seem a bit pointless to have Comm Mgr, as there is a dedicated hardwarekey on the right hand side of the device (next to the powerbutton).

"All settinjgs" in Startmenu

Does anybody knows the direct link in Startmenu to "All settings"?
The link is also seen on the settings Tab (left softkey).
Perhaps someone knows the link from the registry.

Since settings is not a "Folder" in real sense no shortcut possible.
You can however try the control.exe from utils.zip in this post and create a shortcut for it.
Control.exe

That's not true because in Duttys Rom I remember there was a shortcut in startmenu.

Hi JLowe, you are correct about duttys rom. The shortcut on the programs page has a registry entry.
When I can get to my pc I'll post the contents of the keys for the entry. May take a day or so, unfortunately I don't have any screen capture soft on my HD.
Regards, D.

Hi again, just checked the link and it leads to the TF3D settings tab not the all settings page. I'll still post the reg info though as this may prove useful.

How to remap the rhodium-manila softkeys?

Right & left SoftKeys can be changed using CERegedit while synced to PC, or PHM Regedit directly on your phone.
The keys in question can be found here:
HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila
I have mapped
HomeLSKPath to \Windows\tasks.exe
with a corresponding link name at
HomeLSKText of Tasks
There are ways to map to other Manila shortcuts like All People.

In Settings, I couldn't find a way to change LSK All Settings from connection settup to actual settings. Dutty did it in one of his ROMs.

thnx guys...that works

thats it, cool !! thanx a lot. I switched the left homekey on my TP2 in Bxsteez ROM from phone to all contacts. Much better Who needs a "Phone soft button" ??

Hi Xaddict,
Great stuff, I want to change the LSK to DeviceLock. Changing the text was obviously no problem, but do you perhaps know the path?
I tried what I got from total commander as path: \windows\VJDeviceLock.exe, but that doesnt really work..
Thanks,
