This app will allow you to toggle the sip by loading it from the commandline - ie SipSwitch.exe.
However, specifiying a command line will cause the PPC to switch to that SIP AND toggle the SIP, so if no keyboard is shown:
"SipSwitch.exe Keyboard" will switch to Keyboard and display it. Use the same name as the SIP in the SIP menu.s
Best to try it and see!

Hi vijay555,
good job! Works great
some notes from testing:
- I couldn't switch to SIPs with " " (space) as first character, so I had to rename them (HKEY_Classes_Root/CLSID/... look for IsSIPInputMethod - thanks for advice, BGK )
- Blimkeys SIP suddenly stopped working and "basic keyboard" popped out instead.. SR solved it
- nice tool for testing (and creating shortcuts afterwards) is nOpen - http://www.nakka.com/soft/ptools/index_eng.html (and then with mortbuttons you can switch between keyboards using one hw button)
ideas for next version (in case you survived work&girlfriend ) :
- possibility to specify (.ini file) several input methods and then command line options like --next, --previous or --switch
- possibility to switch method without popping SIP pannel out
krysha - thanks for your feedback.
I wasn't sure about the SIP popping on or off. I couldn't think of much use for changing the SIP but NOT popping it up - you would then need 2 shortcuts, one to change it, one to bring it up, which for one handed use seemed wasteful. However, it's certainly easy to make it so it doesn't bring up the SIP.
I suppose at some point I'll learn how to split command lines. I also need to learn how to trim and do left$, right$ and mid$ and split() in C++. Any ideas?!
The idea about the .ini is intersting. I'll think about how to implement it, but it might take some time! If I forget, drop me a line at some point.
Man, coding so late was hard work. I can barely think straight now!
V
PS I use gsfidner for shortcuts, but thanks for the tip.
Any news on this?
Hi vijay555,
I saw you're coding a lot (VJSMS, VJDialer, ToggleStart and many other nice things - thanks for all your hard work!).
But: Are there any news on this little thingy, too?
Would be cool, if it could be used to switch between two (or more) input methods by calling the same command (by using an .ini-file), because then I could switch between those SIPs by pressing one single button.
Greetings and TIA,
BGK
BGK - I will work on it, I haven't forgotten, but I am still learning my C++ and so have to figure out how to read an ini file and parse it... I'm trying to finish off a more generic version of ToggleToday, and then I'll try and look at this again... Don't know if many/any people use this, but it would be nice to toggle through the SIPs.

...or you can provide several input methods on command line and switch between them - that should be simplier
for example "SipSwitch.exe Keyboard FullScreen" would switch between those 2 methods each time you run it..
krysha - that's one way I'm thinking of doing it, but you guys have to think, do you want the selected SIP to be displayed (ie keyboard pops up) or toggled (if on, switch off etc) when you change sip by command line. Sometimes it's useful to toggle the SIP, but the command line will want to switch to the next sip in the command line string.
I'm actually thinking of another version, based on this idea of mine: what it will do is you assign a hardware key to the program, and holding down that hardware key will show you the name of the current sip (eg "keyboard"). Letting go will show that SIP.
However, if you don't let go, but hold down the hardware key, it will flash through each SIP on the system, so it will show a little window in the corner: "Keyboard", "Calligrapher" etc, each name being shown for say 3 seconds and then changing to the next SIP name. That way, you can hold down the hardware key until the SIP you want is shown and then let go, and that SIP will be selected and activated.
What do you think?
BTW - can anyone tell me how to split strings in C++.
Eg for the command line seperated by commas, in vb I would do something like
Code:
Commandline="Calligrapher,Keyboard,BlimKeys"
CommandLineArray=Split(Commandline,",")
How do I do that in C++? I haven't read that far in my programming lessons yet I presume I have to write my own routine or use another library right?

I guess - following the software output you had the last weeks/months - there's no more neet to explain that, right? :wink:
You did nice work on all of the software you gave to this community, so I'm asking you just very polite, if you did a little further development on sipswitch, too? :roll:
It would be really cool beeing able to switch between 2 or 3 predefined input methods (from .ini or command line).
If you need help in any way, maybe I could help you (nor very advanced in C++, but... call me Mr. Google... :lol: ). :roll:

Could you do me a favour and tell me how you will change the sip intself (changing registry keys, calling which functions,...)?
Would be interested in this...
Greetings,

SipSwitch currently starts and compiles a list of the installed SIPs.
If it find the one that matches the command line, it enables and toggles that SIP.
The future version will use a command line of defined SIPs or probably a config file.
Steps:
Compile the array of defined sips from the config file/command line.
Get the array of installed sips.
Get the current sip.
Match that sip to the config array.
If there's a match, get the next SIP specified in the config array.
If next SIP matches installed SIP, switch to next SIP.
No registry involved in SIPs I think!
The work involved is in parsing the config file, preparing the array of sips and looping through the arrays. Nothing too complicated, just needs some attention. I literally don't have a spare minute right now though. I'm on a deadline to finish some code tonight Don't like coding under pressure, just for fun!

Good Application
Dear vijay555
i have tried this app and working fine, but i have arabic keyboard name and i can not toggle to it using your app, is there anyway to know the english sip name of my arabic keyboard.
gwassef: have a look at the second post from the top, discussing the registry. I've not really thought about it before, but have a look through the registry, and maybe even change the name of the SIP.
Have to run, apologies!
V
Dear vijay555
thanks for reply, i checked the second post from where i got a link to the wiki registry settings and got the CLSID of my SIP and change it to engish, then i used your sipswitch.exe program to change it each time i soft reset my device.
thanks for you all
Hey Vj, I ran a test on your app.
I made a Shortcut using Total Commander with the following line
"\Program Files\SipSwitch\sipswitch.exe" Keyboard
It gives me a window saying "SIP not found". Any clue?
I think it may be case sensitive - did you copy it exactly? Check the CLSID in your registry to make sure it's exactly as written.
Frankly, it's a very basic app. It needs a complete re-write!
V
Yes, they are exactly the same. Attached (I've cut the bottom half from other screen shot to avoid uploading two pics). Note, the " symbol is on the right way, Total Commander somehow omit the starting " symbol, but the short cut is definately functioning. I'm just wondering if there are any other method of putting the " marks. But I did use the same method for OMAPCLOCK, it works.
BTW, for your info, my "Keyboard" is in
\HKCR\CLSID\{42429667-...}\Default
it will be great if u develop an app which can allow multiple SIP's on the system bar(Ref. mCalc adds an icon next to SIP)
p.s: http://www.xcomsoft.com/mcalc.html
Just wondering if there is a registry hack that stops the screen from automatically rotating and displaying in portrait mode when you flip the screen round ?
i.e. it should stay in landscape mode no matter if the screen is facing in/out or otherwise.
You can do it manually by clicking on the screen rotate icon, or going into Settings > Screen > Orientation, so I figure there must be a reghack to put it permanently into Landscape ?
tia
Ok, i've found the key at least which shows what mode is currently in use:
This is Landscape (Right-handed) mode:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\Rotation
Angle 0x5A (90)
HideOrientationUI 0x0 (0)
LanscapeMode 0x1 (1)
The question is, how do I stop those being overwritten or change it so when it's in Portrait mode, it actually uses those settings ?
gaspx: I'm an odd fellow. I'd written you a long post about basically:
rotation is achieved at OS level, and driver level, so althought it's possible to be notified of the screen being rotated, intercepting it would require, AFAIK, some fairly substantial low level code or a reg key I'm not aware of.
But then I remembered my work on the Universal Voice Command/External Key issue in another thread. I've written a test program called VJElectrify, which contains a hack called ClamHack. And I just tried clamhack, and amongst its other side effects, yes, it does allow you to prevent the system forcing a rotation. So system stays in landscape if you open in laptop mode, or rotait into portrait mode. You then manually choose your rotations.
VJElectrify isn't finished yet, still a lot more research to do, but yes, it is possible to prevent it Keep an eye out for when VJElectrify is released.
Anyone else know another way to do this? I can't think of any relevant reg settings.
V
Heh heh, I knew it probably wouldn't be as simple as a reg hack.. cheers for the reply Vijay, i'll keep a watch on your website for the forthcoming VJElectrify..

Thats just the keys where the current state is stored.
the key you need is HKLM\Services\ScreenRotate (you can change the ShowIcon value here to enable/disable the today icon)
Ive tried just renaming the ScreenRotate but that failed then i tried changing the dll name stored in the key, after all if it cant find the dll surlly it'll stop the rotations.
NOPE, i know the dll rename is working as the icon failed to appear, but the auto rotates continue to happen, it must be OS, it must be!!
.....the search continues

I did that as well.. sorry, should've mentioned it in my original post, but I had the same idea as you! - the screenrotate.dll just seems to be tied to the icon in the systray. sigh.
Have to wait patiently for the VJClamhack to be released..
The clam hack has, by design, side effects - it disables part of the system OS, which conveniently disables screen rotation detection and some other stuff on the hinge. However, the bugger refuses to enable hardware keys with lid closed.
Because clamhack is quite a big sledgehammer for a nut, I'm a little worried about putting it out - however, I've never seen any negative sideeffects, only positive

Load DinarSoft MemMaid on your Universal.
Just as you can delete Startup Items, you can also delete Start Up Services. I believe I saw a service related to screen rotation in there.
I don't have my Universal for another week (getting replaced), but I do recall seeing that in there.
As always, perform a backup in case you can't "add" it back in.
I don't think that Rotation service helps, I tried it a bit earlier, since it seems to be an obvious target.

Yeah, I think that was the one Carnivor and myself had found.. we just prevented the service starting manually by bodging the registry key, but all it does is stop the little screen rotate icon from appearing.. thanks though

so, if i took this line of code:

and modified it something like this:
SHSipPreference(m_hWnd, SIP_DOWN); // for a specific window (to use in focus events)
or some such, could i then set it to keep the soft keyboard from popping up (either programatically or globally) without selecting it from the input menu?
obviously i know little of programming, but you should be able to catch the logic behind it. as to why, people are all but begging for this functionality for their Wizards....

The SHSipPreference(m_hWnd, SIP_DOWN); is normally used when you catch the WM_SETFOCUS/WM_KILLFOCUS of a specific window. This is the normal behaviour for EDIT controls on pocket pcs that do not have an integrated keyboard. I can imagine it is a burden on the Wizard...
If you want to control the behaviour of the virtual keyboard for all controls of the active window, I should consider to use the first code.
You can also hide the sip button appearing on the soft keys bar, when you use the SHCreateMenuBar api.
You can also show a window with the sip down with the SHInitDialog api.
ps.: if you want to control the SIP of the whole system, you have to subclass the window with the classname MS_SIPBUTTON.

Now I leave myself open for flaming, the way I read this:
On a wizard that has a keyboard that is open and i am using, there seem to be many application that do not relize this and thus pop up the soft keyboard.
Is there a application that will stop this on a global bases ? (as in trick the applications into thinking my soft keyboard is my hardware keyboard or on call just closing the soft keyboard)
If so were can I get it from as I cant program my VCR let alone my 8track.
Well maybe reading is not my strong point but I feel that there might be a need for a .fred kbd (on / Off) tool.
Myself I have a BA with a hardware Keyboard that I NEVER use so I am not sure how apps react.
PS no offence intended

I think different solutions are possible for this:
1) I know somebody developed a NULL virtual keyboard (no layout), so whatever happens, the keyboard will never show up on the screen.
2) The SIP is a driver, so if it is unloaded, the soft keybard will never show up on the screen even when clicking on the keyboard button on the softkey bar, BUT I don't know what will happen with the hard keyboard, will the keys still be handled? It should but... (I can't try, I don't have a hard keyboard)
3) As you suggested a background program that would handle the on/off SIP behaviour on demand.
For me, the easiest would be the second option, because you just unload a driver, so no harm is done and no extra hack is made.
Cheers,
.Fred
3)
Well 2 sounds fine but can "joe blow" do that.
Myself I like to 1.
I see a cab that installs GhostKbd, ....
a null keyboard that can be chossen as the "input methord" over keyboard icon bottom right, options.
This gives the user the chance of having it when he wants nothing or not have it when he wants something (wiered looking at it that way).
This also wont conflict with what ever the Hardkeyboard does (well I think any way).
Can you talk to "somebody" and get it ?
Maybe we could have soem input from those that have the problem.
EDIT and 3 but could be some work

@ blazoner
So does the above solve your problem and if so should we post it in the wizard wiki ?
i'm not sure. i had a cab file not uninstall completely, and it was interfering with my SIP options. i'll give it another go after a hard reset/rom upgrade. should know by tomorrow.
looks like there's a solution out there after all....

Hardware Keyboard only in Landscape
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On the Universal the combination of PQZ (to assign different SIPs to landscape and portrait, should work on other devices too) and PHMs "NoDoSIP" (registers a SIP that does nothing) works perfectly. Disable all SIPs not needed at all by setting the Reg Value (search for the SIP by name in the registry) Default under IsSIPInputMethod for that method to 0. You can rename your remaining SIPs there as well.

Try QuickMenu. It has a feature to change SIP.
It would be great to develop a small program with command line switching of SIP. Then we could assign certain SIPs to hardware buttons. Especially useful for skanndelus
been looking on the web for a tweak for this, can't seem to find anything relevant in any files or registry either
I agree, the arrow is way too small and it also takes far too long for the menu to pop-up.
THis is a serious issue for me as I write e-mails and text messages in dual languages every day. If that arrow was an ear hair bigger I could get it with my thumbnail....how frustrating!!!! What about adding an item to the tap-and-hold menu or making a switch I could assign to a hardware key? I would gladly donate $20 to someone who can fix this!
Try this little app...
Hi Lycox, the little app you posted is "phonepad" I think this is not a solution, but could be usefull if I could just hit the little arrow to select it from my really slow sip list.
Well I don't get it, it maybe just made phonepad the default sip, didn't think I had it installed.
Doh, now I get it, I assigned it to a button and of course Lycox, this is exactly what I wanted. Would be nice to just flip between two favourite sips, rather than go through them all, but I'll probably find out it does in a minute. Thanks anyway Lycox.
it's fantastic! Now we need to find a way to get rid of 'keyboard' and other SIPs we don't use. If there were just two on the list this would be it.
I don't find the arrow size as annoying as the time it takes for the menu to pup up.
I find it easier to go Start-> Settings-> Input and change things there. Silly really.

i figured out how to do this last night.... i'll see if i can find the link... it was just a matter of finding the reg keys under classes, then changing a dword value from 1 to 0 to remove it from the list.
Do NOT remove the default "keyboard" from the SIP list. If you do and something goes horribly wrong, you can be left with an inputless device.

bump!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was just viewing various system registry... and came across some keys that I've never before noticed in the past.
They really aren't too outlandish, but I'm wondering if folks are interested in "testing" what exactly these registry edits "do" in terms of whether or NOT they are enhancements or NOT much of anything.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO MAKE ALTERATIONS TO THE SYSTEM REGISTRY IF YOU ARE NOT FAMILIAR WITH ADVANCED WINDOWS MOBILE CAPABILITIES!
Now, having said all of that... here are a few of those interesting "tweaks" I've come across:
1.) HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Keybd: WM7KeybdLayout - "0"
By default this registry value is ZERO... perhaps if "enabled" by using "1" as the replacement value, something "cool" may happen.
2.) HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Gestures\Touch: Disabled - "0"
By default this registry value is ZERO... and I'm not entirely sure what this COULD allow your system to do, but it may be "cool" also.
3.) HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Performance: Available RAM on boot - "327274496"
By default this registry value is LIST ABOVE, and perhaps editing this value, and making it larger could allow for a more "hasty" booting process.
4.) HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\WebSnapShot: Enabled - "0"
By default this registry value is ZERO... but I'm wondering if this will allow for some kind of built-in screen shot function to "snap" thumbnail images of your online browsing history. Assumed value to "enable" it, should be "1".
5.) HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Shell: AnalogClock - "0"
By default this registry value is ZERO... so I figure changing this value to "1" might "create" some kind of analog clock on for Manila.
6.) HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Shell: HasKeyboard - "0"
By default this registry value is ZERO... and to be quite honest, this seems pretty obvious that it will "allow" or display the keyboard somewhere on the "shell" of your device. Assumed value to "enable" it, should be "1".
7.) HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\BackLight
This ENTIRE key has some pretty interesting settings that can be adjusted for advanced or unseen backlight settings.
8.) HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\AllLEDMgr
Here is the key in which you can adjust the LED settings such as interval.
9.) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Audio\SoftwareMixer: SampleRate - "268435456"
The default value is listed above, but my query involves whether or not tampering with this could resolve the "audio delay" for some users.
10.) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Power
Here is the key in which you can adjust the values to be labeled for battery power settings. HIGH, MEDIUM, and LOW. The percentage before the system provides a warning can be changed.
11.) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\Display
Here is the key in which you will find a majority of your advanced display settings for your device.
12.) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Qualcomm\DSM
Here is the key in which I believe you might find another possible solution for the audio delay, considering one of the string values is "250" as a file queue setting.
13.) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\OEM\USBtoPC
Here is the key in which you'll find the way to REMOVE or otherwise disable the "popup" window that appears whenever you connect your device via USB to a desktop PC.
14.) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\OEM\MASD
THIS KEY, THIS KEY RIGHT HERE FOLKS... this is VERY important for those of you who are trying to figure out what "official" version number of specific services is currently installed on your device.
15.) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\ActiveSync\OEM Links\T-Mobile Help - "0"
Enabling this key by changing the value to "1" should provide for a direct system link to the T-Mobile support network for the HD2. This is very similar to the Microsoft error reporting services.
16.) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Calendar: ShowLunarCalendar - "0"
By enabling this, you should be able to have the Lunar Calendar displayed within the HTC system calendar... among other things. Assumed value to "activate" this should be "1".
17.) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\CHome
Here is where you'll find a laundry list of options to make changes to the original WM6.5, "Titanium".
18.) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Pictures\ImageSendSize
Here is where you'll find 3 sub-keys that contain resolution values that can be altered in order to provide a "bigger picture" for MMS or uploads.
19.) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Camera\Image
This key will open up a list of options that will allow you to change various settings for image capture and resizing.
20.) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\PhoneCanvas
In this key you'll find options that will allow you to make changes to the picture size for contacts.
21.) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\PHONE
Here are more device settings for in-call and beyond.
ENJOY!
Oh, and don't hesitate to leave a bit of feedback. Thanks.
I am patiently waiting for you to try these and update the post.
I sure as heck don't plan to "play" with my registry
As soon as the store calls to tell me that mine is *FINALLY* in, I'll be happy to test some of those out. As long as you back up your registry before you do anything (and aren't afraid of a Hard Reset as a last resort), there shouldn't be any issue trying these...any of the changes you make can be reversed that way.

Agreed fellas. This stuff seems interesting. I haven't played with these listed items just yet. I was so exhausted last night while skimming through tons and tons of registry keys... that I may have gotten a little desperate to post this rather than test each one.
Some are just useful tips, but others I have not before seen on the EURO model of the HD2. For instance, the WM7 keyboard... that's rather curious, huh?
5 - puts tiny analog clock where digi clock is by battery
6 - for phones with hardware keyboards
14 - can change that to fake any system info you like
18 - doesnt necessarily work. best way ive yet to find to fix the small mms size on some networks is the mms userprofile tweak that reports it as a diamond, and the mms useragent as a nokian95. (I can tfind the link, sorry)
3.) HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Performance: Available RAM on boot - "327274496"
By default this registry value is LIST ABOVE, and perhaps editing this value, and making it larger could allow for a more "hasty" booting process.
When I looked I had a lower value, "281640960". I increased it to "327274496" startup seems a bit faster, not much. I'm gonna try increasing it later. On another note, slide to unlock seems to be faster. Of course this could all be in my head.

This looks suspiciously like overclocking to me. If it is, I doubt that the S2U being faster is in your head...
Are you sure that "on boot" only means during the bootup process and not the original RAM available before the processes kick in?

What's weird though is that the value keeps changing, on every boot it's a different value. On the last boot, it was 280760320.

Then it just about has to be a record and not reference value. Shoulda known it wouldn't be that easy

Thanks for the reports.
And yeah, I noticed that as well... yet my value is always relatively in the same demographic in terms of "high" or "low".
But yes, it is some "lowbrow" version of overclocking, but as far as I know... it only pertains to the RAM available during and shortly thereafter a booting process is complete. It's like tweaking the allocated resources that "HTC Sense" used each time it booted up.
Awesome find. looking forward to what will be unconvered
I have a few friends skimming the registry keys day n' night as well... it's just very, very exhausting to read thousands of lines of coding.
I doubt I'll be updating the OP with tons of additions, but I'll certainly add to it, should something reasonably decent come to my attention.
I would like to add something that also seems interesting
HKLM/System/Autoupdate: 0 <-- I wonder what 1 does.. I just set to 1, will update as i hopefully receive updates
PS: I'm not sure if its this that caused this, but my phone just locks on slide to unlock.. As soon as i try unlocking the screen turns off.

Bump.
Anyone found any interesting tidbits as of yet?
