I've searched high and low and have not seen a solution to this. I know we can add another app launcher cube to the touchflo interface, but I would like to add additional photo dialer cubes (family, work, other). I tried to do something similar to the app launcher registry modifications, but it didn't work.
Has anyone been able to get this type of functionality or will it take a third party replacement?
Thanks!

Hey,
I am developing for WM5 using C# ... is there any way that I can show my SIP keyboard but without the bar below it? I am running my App fullscreen and it just looks silly with the little bar below it... also it's a waste of real estate of the screen.
this is a pic of what I mean
Is there any reg key/COM usage/code/workarounds or anything I can do (not sticking something on the screen ) to hide this while showing the keyboard?
Mark
is this is an iphone keyboard??
i understand your pain. This is a design decision from Microsoft so that the user is able to switch on and off the keyboard at any time. But obviously they messed it up.
When I was trying I was not even able to draw something upon it to at least make it invisible. Anyway, if u are programming in C++ you could create your own SIP class. try this article from MSDN to help you out http://blogs.msdn.com/windowsmobile/archive/2005/02/10/370355.aspx
Hehe... yes it is indeed an iPhoney keyboard
I got it using the PCMKeyboard Here and then skinning it with this skin I actually found somewhere in xda dev forums
I have seen that link, that would allow me to create my own SIP keyboard and add it in... I like the iphone one and want to use it.. just without the stupid little icon. I'm happy to hack it off but ideally only when in my app... it'd be a bit annoying to lose it permanantly. I was thinking about some way to even force it offscreen... so it's "there" it's just not visible? ... might be a load of hassle as id'd have to catch the scrollbar everytime and only show it when the screen content was > screenheight + 20 px or something... but that might be an idea. Obviously I could write a keyboard controll but that's a lot of hassle to write and skin it.... unless there is already one in .net out there
Hope some xda dev genius can come up with a better solution though...
Resco Keyboard Pro also has iphone keyboard skin.
Yeah we work closely with Peter and the guys at resco with their mobile forms toolkit and co-design a lot of custom items... unfortunately that is just another SIP keyboard... so I would run into the same problem of hiding the evil little icon/toolbar.
There must be someone here who knows how to do this.. I mean I just watched videos of people proving they are smarter than HTC and writing OpenGL drivers for a phone!! lol... I might go and annoy a jr developer to make myself feel smart again as reading posts in this forum are no good for my ego
Not sure if there is anything in here for you. I can't see what your after, but I'll post it anyhow. You might be able to gleam something from it...

Hmm... nothing there, but thanks very much. I have created a menu bar and when I add more than 2 items to it the sip icon moves to the right hand side, so there is obviously something somewhere that can control this... if it is docked in that menu, I wonder if there is a way to hide the menu as opposed to removing it and possibly hide the sip thing too??! or the sip thing might exist "above" the bar and just appear to be on it....
Any more ideas would be very welcome!
Cheers for the help,
Mark
I'm no programmer so I can't help. But I remember when I was using PocketCM contacts (written by the tene who wrote PocketCM keyboards), during the sms screen the keyboard will popup but the little "evil" bar won't appear. You may want to ask tene how s/he achieved that.

Ooh... cheers for that! I'll post on the PocketCM forum and see if I can get an idea.. or is he a member here?
Can't believe how much hassle such a small thing is... unfortunately my plan to push the form 25px lower to simply hide the bar doesnt seem to be working....

I just saw the thing about the Q&A thread ... so sorry for doing this... but in for a penny and all that...
I have seen here what looks like the code to hide the sip button.. but I am unsure how to call that in c# anyone able to help?

Much appreciated!
Heres a quick Port of what I need to do to show/hide the SIP.
Did you also spot the link to the C++ article at the bottom. (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/266244/EN-US/)

Dave,
Thanks for your help... that seems to just be the same as
this.InputPanel1.enabled = false;
and if you still click there it proceeds to appear. I really want the keyboard up.. but with no icon or space down there. (Tempted to say it's impossible just to spark peoples interest in a challenge! lol)
I have tried this and it's PERFECT for what I want... only in VB
So I am going to have a go at converting it to c# ... but we all know... this will never work... lol so I will keep you posted and put the solution up when I finish. (P.S - Please dont tell my boss I've spent all day on this... but you know what it's like when you come up against a problem that puzzles you!)
HORRAY!
We have success... this is based on the work from the link that the guys in the above post have done in VB... I won't lie I don't understand it 100% but I get most of it. I have ported it over to .cs and it works a treat!
the commented out line in the code is for me, I have a custom iphoney SIP with different dimensions in it. The project as is should work for the standard windows kb sip.
Thanks so much for all the contributions and help though!
solution is attached

Grats Mark,
I was just looking at that code. What it does, is it gets the Handle of the Window of the SIP (keyboard and the bar your trying to hide) using Find Window, SipWndClass is the name of the SIP window.
And them moves them down, off the bottom of the screen.
Ta
Dave
I dont mean to bring up old threads but I just wanted to add a note for any one that stumbles across this on the intertubes(as i did). In fact, the sipbutton and sipkeyboard have different handles. To actually hide the sipbutton(and not just move the keyboard over top of it) you need to use the "MS_SIPBUTTON" class to get your handle instead of "SipWndClass".
i.e.
Code:
Dim h As IntPtr = FindWindow("MS_SIPBUTTON", Nothing)
MoveWindow(h, 0, Me.Height, 0, 0, False)
With Fingerkeyboard you have the option to simply not show the entire bar
Would it be possible to have this work only if your keyboard was in landscape position? I know Fingerkeyboard has this option but I would like to do the same thing with a different keyboard. Thanks in advance.
Oh wow.
I have been looking for this solution for a LONG TIME. I'd love to be able to have the same type of screen as using Pocket CM (keyboard at the bottom of the screen) in other programs, without losing the functionality of the screen buttons... like "Send" "Menu" in messaging.
Hey guys,
I want to set the left shortkey at the TF3D-Peoples-Tab to start iContact. Is there a registrykey to modify this?
At the moment, i have to go to the dailer to start iContact
Greetings

to whatever you want.
Have you managed to get iContact to work okay as I have found the text to be far too small to be useable.
Regards
Thanks for the quick answer. I will test it.
You have to install the VGA Version of iContact like Burts Edition:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=402724
And there are a lot of VGA-Skins, that look very nice on HD:

for me Icontact BE works like a charm

But at this regkey, you can only modify the shortkeys at the TF3D-Homescreen
I want to modify the left shortkey only at the Peoples-Tab. At the moment the is a shortcut to the "normal" WiMo-Contacts-App
+1 i'm also interested
also interested
+1 I wish also change sofkeys in each tab separately
(i've tried ssmapa but don't do what I need)
Thanks

Apologies. Now I have read what you want, I also want that!! I found a .cab file icontact v0.5 which was supposed to replace the registry entries to launch iContact but that hasn't worked on the HD and it appears that the registry layout is slightly different.
Regards
nobody has an idea on this ?
I think I found something to will be able to help in a close future but it not working for me

Id like to know as well. wm6 conatct suck donkey balls.
maybe this..but man..looks like a PITA
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=42924
Any way I can enlarge the text size? Ideally throughout all apps but especially in 'messaging' and the browser.
It's for a friend who has limited eyesight.
Many thanks.
SPARE PARTS
wow that was hard
Thanks man, just got it from marketplace but it doesn't work! It changes it for a moment but as soon as you click 'back' or 'home' it reverts to the usual text size...
Does anyone know of a way to make it 'stick'? Or an alternative application?
Thanks!
Iwould like to have this as well. Who developed "Spare Parts"?
You can find the author in 'market' ... it's too bad - I contacted him already, he just enabled an option that he found in the source by the sound of it, and doesn't know how it works. Can anyone help?
Hi:
I am trying to change the blue buttons in my TF3D theme to grey. I have searched and searched and can't seem to figure out how to do this. Is this blue what is referred to as focus color?
The buttons I am referring to are right above the slider in the contact tab, and they play etc buttons in music tab (there are obviously others, but I figured this was enough of an example ).
Any help changing these colors would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks so much!

Most of us, I'm afraid , would need more than this to go on:
1. How do you know which Manila files to work with?
2. What is CFC? (My guess is that it's not chlorofluorocarbon.)
