Creating a simple Calendar App - need help - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

Dear bros,
I'm having the Diamond, and a number of owners including me are not happy abt the number of appointments shown in the front page of the touchFlo3D.
Therefore, I have decided to create a small app that will open up in a small window (or a nice background) and will display all upcoming appointments regardless of which day it falls on.
This function is very similar to O2plus plugin as you can see in one of my older today screens:
{
"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"
}
The thing is, I plan to use VB.net but I'm kinda lost. *please don't flame me on this.. just asking help
I've used the classic VB for windows apps long time ago and I've lost touch. I'd really appreciate if someone could help me with the code, just to display the next appointment or something. I'll build it up from there.
Here's an example in C# which I can't get it to work:

I've got all the tools needed: VB.net 2005, WM6 SDK, etc.
Thanks once again!
Cheers.

Shortcuts on today screen

I've tried to search but can't find how to, or what prog is needed to show a bunch of program shortcuts on the today screen, like the XDA dev special edition rom 1.2for PPC, which has many icons in a block.
Also does anyone know if the XDa-dev program 'welcome.exe' will run on Xda2i? Or anythng similar which cuts out the stupid cut and paste thing etc on hard reset?

Split screen, see two applications on today screen together!

I wish to see a pocket excel file and pocket word doc on the same screen, so I can write down on my in word while I can still see whats in excel.
With out having to switch ( top and tail ) between two applications, I want to see both at the same time. Just like a windows desktop, were you can split applications and view two windows at once.
Is there any tool or way one can do this ?
I >think< the old task manager BananaPC could do it, but it doesn't look like it anymore:
http://www.snoopsoft.com/other/bananapc.html
There used to be one taskmanager that would kind of let you do it, but I haven't seen it for a long time.
VJSihaya was written to let me do stuff like this, but it's not publically released yet, and won't be for quite a while to come.

Vijay,
Very nice. Looking forward to it.
I also checked out your web site. Lots of good programs. What emulator are you using?
Cheers!
calculon (a Futurama fan?) Which emulator are you referring to?
V
Vijay,
Sorry for not being more specific. I was referring to the Windows Mobile emulator. Is that what you use to test your programs?
I use the emulator in Visual Studio, but also test directly on my Universal in VGA and Magician for QVGA/WM2003.

Question for developer genuises

Hey,
I am wondering if it is possible to create Today screen plug in that displays how many calls have been missed and if less then a defined number (say 5) displays the callers names/number if known? Has something like already been done? If not, how hard would it be to implement this? Any clues to help me to start this project?
Thanks
Check if phoneAlarm with an appropriate skin suits your needs.
Absolutely, PhoneAlarm is my recommendation.
If you're asking if it's technically possible, of course!

[unfortunately the bit you want, last caller info, is obscurred because it was my Mistress or somesuch]
From a technical point of view, this is very easy to do on WM5 using the state and notification broker.
DKToday might also be helpful and is free.

Any idea which skin I should use to get the functionality I need? MOst of the skins just show indicator or number of missed calls. I want to see whose calls I have missed from the Today screen.
PhoneAlarm skins can be built to show this info as standard (most skins have this feature hidden until "maximsed". But there's nothing to stop you doing it by standard)

roms cant be shared between smartphones and pocketpc's
and nor can today screen items
but people could program that for pocketpc's but they would have to do it from scratch

Big Finger help required!

Hi, i've been the owner of a windows mobile phone for only a short while now, but one thing i noticed is the querty keyboard.
Now the point is, i have realy big fingers ( ) so i cannot hit all keys well enough.
Recently my girlfriends sister got a new phone which has a default(see the pic) numeric type keyboard but on touchscreen.
What i was wondering, is there anything like it for windows mobile?
I am running windows mobile 6.1 by the way
Seems im not yet allowed to use images or links in my posts, just remove the space between h & ttp
