Locking physical 'OK' button on IPAQ 112? - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

Dear all,
For a commercial project we are trying to put our PDA into Kiosk mode. The goal is that the pda is running a flash application which can not be closed or affected by the users actions (unless the unlocking method from the kiosk program of course).
So far we're trying out SPB Kiosk Engine Builder, but we're running into the problem of not being able to disable the 'OK' button, which closes applications (like alt+f4 on the pc).
Is there any other way to disable this key without physically altering the pda?
Thanks in advance,
Harry

Anyone have any ideas?

Would AEB Plus work for this? I can't test it without purchasing

Keeping things in memory

Ok, so is it just me, or is the close button more of a minimize button?
Is there a way to close the application when I hit the X ?
find the program HTC X-button
That is EXACTLY what I was looking for. Are there any reprocusions to it though? Like loss of entered data?
Just as long as you save whatever you’re working on, but I haven't had any adverse effects of using the program.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Here is a powerful little app to actually close running programs with several options.81252.25.11.1
if you want to keep the "minimize" function, what i did was install hbutton and set the first button in the list to <today>.

Here is work for developers

I found 2 programs on the web, and they can be usefull for further development.
First program is called "dynamo", when it is started it show all open application on one single screen. Windows Vista and Apple OSX haveboth the same feature and it looks nice on a PDA.
Here is a screenshot when the program is running an the opened applications are shown:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
In the attachment is the program.
The second program is even more interesting, but still very basic and complete useless at this moment. The program has the ability to change to another screen in an animated way, flipping, sliding, etc.
In the attachements is a demo and it think( !!!!) the sourcecode. I am not a developer, so please excuse me if I am wrong or show up with something old.
Both apps are from Aspecto Software www.aspecto-software.com

please help me!!!

At present, I have successfully installed XP operating system, all the normal functions (including wireless keyboard and handwriting). However, the use of a period of time, the wireless feature turned off by (the reasons for not drive), I would like to ask for this? The machine is a hardware problem? Or "HTC" sent via the Internet instructions? So I am very troubled by this, because of the need to open the wireless system must be to restore VISTA, and then the resumption of XP, though can be done, but to restore the system repeatedly, I am worried that there is damage to the hard disk, can I come down on how to solve this problem, thank you! ! !

[Q] Assigning softkeys to hardkeys?

The touchscreen on my TouchPro just died on me, so I had to set "Windows Default" as my homescreen, which works okey as my hardkeys are working alright. However, I'm unable to send SMS messages etc. as I can't use the softkeys anymore.

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Is it possible to assing the left and right softkeys to my hardkeys instead?
Thanks for your time
A friendly soul suggested I'd use AEButton, which works just great! I managed to remap the softkeys to my volume keys, finaly being able to respons/send text messages again
In case anyone else needs the program, the authors site's at http://ae.inc.ru/aebplus.php
