Okay, so I'm using Google Voice with call presentation on, and I want to setup a shortcut to send a '1' to the phone to accept an incoming call. I just got a bluetooth watch and I want to be able to have the watch send the key so I don't need to dig out my phone when I'm in the car.
So, to test this a little bit I installed KeyPress and I setup that if I double press my start button in AE Buttons, it runs KeyPress with the parameter of 97. This works perfectly. No issues at all.
But when I try to create a short cut, everything fails. If I just press tap VJKeyPress, I get the little "help" screen. If I create a shortcut, and tap it, I also get the help screen. But when I try to modify the shortcut to pass the '97', then it fails.
I'm guessing that I'm missing something in the syntax, but I can't figure it out.
I have the path, in quotes:
"\P F\vijay555\VJKeyPress\VJKeyPress.exe"
Then I've put 97 at the end just plain, in quotes, in <>, I've put in right behind the .exe inside the quotes... Nothing seems to work at all. I'm at a total loss.
Anyone have a suggestion?
Hi,
Could you send me a screenshot of the configuration screen in AE Buttons.
I can't think why it wouldn't work, but what you could do is create a normal shortcut that launches VJKeypress with the required parameters, and then use AE Button to launch that .lnk shortcut itself, rather than VJKeyPress.exe
Should you get really stuck, VJBrisk might be able to help you, but I think the above should be adequate.
Drop me a PM (and post in the thread) again if you get stuck.
V
Oops... I didn't think I explained myself properly.
The AE Buttons is WORKING. It's the normal shortcut link that I can't get to work... and that's the thing I really need to get working.
Sorry, my bad, didn't read it properly.
I normally put example shortcuts in my cabs, but curiously I've got none in the cab on my phone. Can't believe the app is nearly 5 years old! Wow.
Anyway, I just tried making a shortcut.
If you paste the following:
Code:
55#"\Program Files\Vijay555\VJKeyPress\VJKeyPress.exe" 133
into a text document, and rename it Test.lnk, and copy that over to your phone, it should create a shortcut that locks your phone.
If that works, just change the parameter to do what you want.
What app are you using to create shortcuts?
And what's the significance of the \p\f in your first post?
V
A bit more information...
I tried to write a simple MortScript to run this as well. According to the MortScript manual, to run an app, you use this command:
Run ( "\path\AppName" [,"Parameter"] )
In other words, the path and the command first, and then put in the optional parameter. When I put in just the app name:
Run( "\Program Files\vijay555\VJKeyPress\VJKeyPress.exe" )
And run the script, I get the little help popup as I would expect. When I put in the parameter:
Run( "\Program Files\vijay555\VJKeyPress\VJKeyPress.exe" , "97" )
Nothing happens.

Didn't feel like typing out \Program Files\.
Okay, so using the '133' definitely worked, but when I change it to 97 (the code to send NumPad1), it doesn't work.
But it DOES work when I tell AE Buttons to run VJKeyPress with the parameter of 97. Ugh... very odd.
Just for the fun of it, I also tried setting up a button in AE Buttons to run the shortcut that has '97' in it. That didn't work. I'm at a complete loss to figure out what's going on.
It may be that the keypress is occurring, but it's being fed into AE Buttons rather than the Phone Dialler, ie if when you press the required button, AE Button becomes active, which launches VJKeyPress, which presses 1 <b>within</b> AE Button, not the phone dialler.
You could test this by trying other keys and seeing what happens.
Also try activating Word or something else on your phone and launch the shortcut - see if the desired key gets pressed.
Also, you said NumPad1 - this is the number pad on a pc keyboard.
Try 49, which is just key 1.

I'm looking for a small .exe file that can switch to Today screen without closing applications (like 'Today' option in SBP Pocket +)
Why, you'll ask me ?
Because I'd like to switch to today screen with my voice using Microsoft "Voice Command"
I'm already able to :
- Power off
- suspend
- soft reset
- Rotate screen
my Magician with some little applications command by voice but I can't find an exe file to switch to today screen...
Thanks in advance
I find what I was looking for
I post it there if it interests somebody...
I use PHM Keys for Pocket PC a freeware developed by Philippe Majerus
I extract PHMKeys.exe (34 Ko) and put it in \Program Files\Today (but you can put it wherever you want)
After this I create a shortcut in \Windows\Starting Menu\Programs to PHMKeys.exe with this Target :
Code:
"\Program Files\Today\PHMKeys.exe" Today?"\Program Files\Today\PHMKeys.exe",-117
I name it Today.lnk
That way when I pronounce "Launch Today" the today screen appears
Very interesting because I also use VC. And I do want to use it for more, than the built-in abilities.
1. How to create a shortcut and what do its elements mean?
2. How to switch between full volume/no volume + vibra? Built in command only changes telephone volume.
3. How do your other named shortcuts look like? (Power off and so on)
I think u can just say "start today" on voice command without any extra addon. I just tried it and it worked.
RE
Hi DocteurN
Can share how to use VC to
- Power off

and what programs are required?
Thanks
I would realy REALY like to add skype ability to VC.
Much like as the call command works, but instead of a regular, using SkypeOut.
Like saying:
say: Skype <conctact name>
VC response: home or mobile
say: Mobile
I know it's like: offering a finger and trying to take the whole arm, but this would be realy convenient.
Anyone an idea if this could be accomplished?
Chatty > to create shortcut I use Resco Explorer : I Tap and Hold on PHMKeys.exe then Copy. Second Tap and Hold then Paste Shortcut.
A file named PHMKeys.lnk is created.
Rename it Today.lnk for example
Make a tap and hold on this file then Properties > Shortcut
That where you copy :
Code:
"\Program Files\Today\PHMKeys.exe" Today?"\Program Files\Today\PHMKeys.exe",-117
Copy the link in \Windows\Starting Menu\Programs and that's all

Here they are :
Heimiko > Sorry for Skype I've got no idea...
Seeking deeply in 'PHM Keys' I find that you can use PHMKey.exe for a lot of interesting things just by creating shortcuts
Here are what you can do (text is from PHM site) :
Today - Returns to Today screen
My Documents - Opens My Documents folder
Close - Closes active program
Task Switch - Toggles between running programs
Next Window - Cycle through open programs forward
Prev. Window - Cycle through open programs backward
Undo - Cancels previous action
Redo - Cancels previous undo action
Cut - Cuts the selected item
Copy - Copies the selected item
Paste - Pastes the selected item
Page Up - Move one page up / to previous page
Page Down - Move one page down / to next page
Volume +/- Changes Volume
Lock - Shows the system password screen
Suspend - Turns off your Pocket PC
Rotate - Next display orientation clockwise
Rotate Left - Toggle display between 0° and 270°
Rotate Right - Toggle display between 0° and 90°
Rotate Reverse - Toggle display between 0° and 180°
I make a zip of all this shortcuts.
You just have to copy PHMKeys.exe in \Windows and the lnk files in \Windows\Starting Menu\Programs (you'd better create a folder before copy)
You can rename lnk files the way you want and it would work with VC
Now I'm looking for an exe file that can mute/unmute the volume.
You launch it one time => mute
A second time => unmute
I only find this utility : AutoMute (11 Ko)
But it intended to turn the volume down for a specific interval of time...
Anybody knows an application that does that ?
RE
Hi DocteurN,
Thanks for the files.
Just one question though. When you use VC to activate the files (like reset, poweroff, screensave etc) is there a pop up message box which says "Are you sure you want to xxxxx...Yes..No" upon which you manually tap either YES or NO action or that it'll execute the program stratightway without any pop up message box?
BTW, where to install all the mentioned files?
Thanks again
No, there is no popup, the program is execute straightway
Where to install the files ?

When I click on it it pops up a message "Are you sure you want to rest your Pocket PC? Any unsaved data will be lost."

There's another soft reset freeware utility which soft resets immediately WITHOUT a pop-up message. I managed to find on the net which does the job nicely.

Hi DocteurN,,

Hi,
Here is my contribution. The program will remap the softkey buttons and volume buttons:
tap soft key = orginal soft key functions
tap and hold left soft key = start menu
tap and hold right soft key = close/ok button
volume slider at the left = page up/down
You can also use the DPAD to do some extra actions in phone app.
NOTE: If you got notification error, please run smartskey.exe and then run smartskey.exe to close the app. The program will now close all notification that relate to smartskey when it is closed.
Update:
0.60 (2007-08-23)
Fixed: Make DPAD function work on WM6
Fixed: Fix DPAD function not compatible with TomTom
0.56 (2006-11-17)
Fixed: Fix compatibility with CeleDial
0.55 (2006-11-15)
Fixed: Compatible with CeleDial
Fixed: DPAD function will call default Contacts/Text Messaging instead of calling original Contacts/Text Messaging directly. So if you have installed any third party replacement, it will be called when DPAD in Phone app is pressed.
0.54 (2006-11-06)
Fixed: Endless loop when using “OK” button of keyboard in Wizard.
0.53 (2006-06-23)
Fixed: DPAD on will not affect TomTom and calendar
Fixed: remove notification routine will remove all paths so that it will not prompt wrong notification path anymore when user change the location of the smartskey.exe
0.52 (2006-03-26)
Fixed: DPAD functions still apply in SmartDial dialog.
0.51 (2006-03-20)
Fixed: Can use volume key to switch to vibrate, off mode by volume slider
Fixed: Exception List will not check the classname of the window as well, so you can also put applications that will change title in the list.
Added: change the behavior of the dpad, and user can set the action for each direction using DUP, DDOWN, DLEFT, DRIGHT
0.5 (2006-03-19)
Add: DPAD, use dpad for additional action (call log, messaging, programs, contacts) in phone app.
Add: VOLUMEONTODAY, volume key will check the topmost app is today or not
Fxied: improve force closed function.
0.41 (2006-03-11)
Fixed: will not overwrite ini files
Fixed: make executable smaller
Added: PAGEONEXPLORE, use soft key to scroll page in “Programs”
0.4 (2006-02-25)
Fixed: rewrite force closed function again
Added: VOLUMEONPHONE, volume key will check the topmost app is phone or not
Added: REMOVEDUPSDDAEMON, automatically remove duplicated sddaemon events.
Added: OMAPCLOCK, omapclock wrapper to set clock automatically after wake up.
Added: STARTMENUMETHOD, provide alternate method to popup start menu.

THanks!
Great!
Hi Water,
Great little program! Very useful!
Wouter
very good. With your soft and with xbar I can use my wizard with one hand only...
thanks
does "close" function really close the app, or it is a standrad Windows "close"?
And... If you share the source code... ;-)
Now do exactly as pressing the OK button on the keyboard, so hide only. Actually close is much easiler in programming aspect
[feature request]
is there a chance then that at some stage of the development of the tool it would actually ok/close, and not ok/hide the apps?
[/feature request]
That is a nice idea (I just got my 8125 and I was thinking of that EXACT setup)
One thing I would ask for, if its not too much trouble...
Can you make another progy that does everything (start menu and ok/minimize) except the volume scroll? I like to change the volume while in a call and such.
Thanx and really nice job; Lew
EDIT: Better idea.
Include a config file for the program, here's an example.
Code:
LeftSoftKey = 1 // 0 = default 1 = hold for start menu
RightSoftKey = 1 // 0 = default 1 = hold for ok/minimize 2 = hold for ok/close
VolumeScroll = 0 // 0 = default (volume control) 1 = Scroll
I think that's a good idea. Let me know what you think?
Later; Lew
Is it easy to re-configure the tap and hold functions??
okay, add one more version without volume keys remap. For close button request, I may do it when I am free.
The program cannot be configured because actually no interface.
wow man. thanx for such a fast response . I was just in bed when I decided to check one last time (from my wizard of course)
So can the settings for the program be set by a config file? Can it read the the cfg file and use the settings in it as variables for how it will handle the different key press events?
Thanx again... awsome sauce man!
Later; Lew
Is it possible to automaticly switch beteween volume when using the telephone and prev/next page if the telephone is not used.
This would complete your program.

This is one of the mose useful bits of software I have come across for the Wizard. Simple but oh so effective Like others have said, one-handed operation is now much more simple.

I have what I think is a simple question.
I have put the smartkey in my startup, now lets say I don't want it to start up any more. How can I get it out of start up?
I already tried deleting it it says access denied on the Wizard and if I try from PC.
Any thoughts?

you can't delete it because it is running. stop the process (memory cp app) and then delete it.
I am using the smartkey program to hold the softkeys to enter startscreen.
Now I am looking for an option or a program to copy/paste and to put it under the message button.
Or does anybody knows a program that only gives the option to cut/copy/paste.
With this my phone would be perfectly tunned.

If the context menu of the program contains copy and paste, you can hold the center key of the 5-ways navigator to popup the context menu.
water
Hi Water,
Thanks, but not all programs have that option. That's why I like to have a program like that.
Right now i'm using Magicbutton but that doesn't have that function. GSMagic had it but I like Magicbutton better. So now I need the copy/past function.
You can try Xbar which is under the D-Pad. It opens up a screen in which you can select the running task but also shortcuts to programs of your liking and there are shortcuts ready for copy and paste and cut.

You can use PQz to map a hardware key (I use the Windows-key) to CTRL, so that you can use ctrl-c, ctrl-v etc.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=33343&highlight=ctrl
I think... just speculating here.. that they are more looking for...
press button - it copies whatever is the active selection
press button again - it pastes whatever is on the clipboard
Not sure, though... ctrl+c / ctrl+v works with the SIP, with that tool it works with the hardware keyboard, and if you're working with the sip - and thus a stylus - you can often just tap-and-hold and choose copy from the context menu.
PHM Keys comes with cut copy paste.
Use a button mapper to do as ZeBoxx says, if it's what you need, and you'll have quick access to said functions.
V
Thanks,
I'm using PQZ now. With TAB as CTRL. WIN would not work together with smartkey, because hold button 1 is the same hex number as WIN.
But this program is realy good.
My Solution to this...
I have a slightly hacked up copy of PHM Keys (couldn't get it to install on my 8125, so I hacked it off of a WM2003 device) that I'm using to solve this problem.
In my Start Menu I have three icons - "Object Copy", "Object Cut", and "Object Paste" (PHM Keys) so whenever I have something highlighted I click my (smartskey modified) Start Menu soft button, scroll down a slot or three with the 5-way, and select the copy/cut/paste operation I need.
When the KB is open it's even quicker Start-o Start-b Start-j respectively. Another plus is this works in nearly EVERY situation where you can highlight something. Sometimes the other options (context menus, SIP kbds, etc.) don't work everywhere.
Now some may not want to waste three Start Menu slots, but I have Tray launch filled with my apps, still have 4 Start Menu slots available, and all my non-soft buttons are mapped to one app or another, so I'm cool with them.
Plus I have my SIP pop-up KB completely disabled (I hate it's "intrusiveness" and only use the HW KB in landscape mode) so in portrait mode I had *NO* way to copy/cut/paste and had to devise something.
Good Luck

I've updated VJKeyPress to add -cut, -copy, -paste.

Hello,
I have such a problem. But first I will explain why I have that problem.
In company we are using a PocketPC with Windows Mobile 2002. And have only one apllication for work.
When connecting to Server we need to tap the left bottom corner of the screen.
Many of workers tap with diferent objects like cutters, pens, not with Stylus, so the left bottom corner become bad in 1-2 months, till the time I can't do nothing, just changing the screen.
So. There is a posibility to implement somehow a ShortCut to that menu, to avoid taping that part of screen? (Because after that in program we use only buttons.)
(Note: I have no source code for tha app.)
Any kind of help will be apreciate.
Thank you much!
It's easy to simulate screen tap by code.
Do you have experience programming in C/C++?
If so all you have to do is write a little app that does the following:
Code:
HWND hWnd; //window handle
hWnd = FindWindow(L"BUTTON", L"Connect to server"); //this text is just an example
SendMessage(hWnd, WM_LBUTTONDOWN, 0, MAKELPARAM(5, 5)); //actually simulates the click
Then you can assign this app to a hardware button using device settings or put a shortcut to is in the start menu.
I don't know of any ready apps to just simulate a click, but there was a thread around here somewhere on a virtual mouse app for PPC. It's free so try searching for that. (Sorry, don't remember the link).
Good luck.
Thank you man.
I'll try this...

So I have not so many experience in C++ and nor in Visual Studio.
Can you provide me with full c++ code for Visual Studio 2005?
Thank you in advance.
Here is another way. Just create a simple project in vis studio ( I am not using 2005 so I cant tell you what its called, if all else failes use the "hello world" option). Open the main .cpp file and after the includes delete everything. Paste this in....
int WINAPI WinMain( HINSTANCE hInstance,
HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,
LPTSTR lpCmdLine,
int nCmdShow)
{
mouse_event(MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTDOWN|MOUSEEVENTF_ABSOLUTE,61439,1638,0,NULL);
return 0;
}
Then build the exe. Make a shortcut to the exe on your device and place it in the windows\start menu folder. When the user taps the shortcut the cordinates specified will get a mouse down message, not all ppc programs will rspond to this message but most bought software I have do.
As it is, this will hit the close button on a 240*320 display. To vary the target location see this from the documentation:
If MOUSEEVENTF_ABSOLUTE value is specified, dx and dy contain normalized absolute coordinates between 0 and 65,535. The event procedure maps these coordinates onto the display surface. Coordinate (0,0) maps onto the upper-left corner of the display surface, (65535,65535) maps onto the lower-right corner.
...So you may need to play with it to hit the spot.
If that fails then just replace the
mouse_event(MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTDOWN|MOUSEEVENTF_ABSOLUTE,61439,1638,0,NULL);
with levenum's code putting the name of the window you are talking about in instead of "Connect to server" to send the normal WM_LBUTTONDOWN message to that window.
OdeeanRDeathshead, your method seems to work. I did it and application works proprely on my Magician.
But now the question is: I need that program for a PocketPC 2002 platform. How to do this in VS2005, can explain me anyone?
Thank you in advance.
Actually, you can't write apps for WM2002 using VS2005.
You need eMbedded Visual C++ 3. It is available free from Microsoft, just search the site. You will also need to install Pocket PC 2002 SDK. (also free on MS site)

Ok.. all this I installed.
I will try to do the program there. But problem become more complicated.
My PDA's are not HTC. They are modified by SYMBOL company. So.. I realized that i have no HARD BUTTON.
In start menu I can't let the application, only because START is not accessible. The only program is that for work and it's full screen.
The PDA have a keyboard.
The question is: it is possible to do in program a HOT_KEY combination, and run MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTDOWN only when HOT_KEY combination was pressed.
I understand that program must remain in memory to intercept that.
Do you mean that there are no buttons on your device, only a keyboard?
Doesn't matter really because as far as windows is concerned keystrokes from device buttons and full keyboard are handled the same.
Sorry I am not really familiar with setting up hot keys, I think your app window needs to have input focus for that to work.
There is a function called SetWindowsHookEx that lets you hook all keyboard events so they will pass through your function. You can then have a small app in background (without UI) that will monitor any key combination you want and simulate the tap when necessary.

Yeah.... it looks like this http://www.symbol.com/PDT8100
I do not know if you can throw some cash at your problem but SKScHeMa from www.s-k-tools.com can wait for an application to start then execute a script. In the script you can simulate both tap and tap and hold actions.
Hope that helps.
Regards cjb.
One of those buttons must correspond to the buttons on the normal ppc. It would be overkill too write an app to run constantly just to redirect one tap. Do you have the opportunity to ever start the unit without the fullscreen program running, if so you could experiment with the button assignments to find the correct one. If the author of the custom software on the thing was half good they could have disabled those buttons assignments while its running, but if they didn't thats the best solution.
If that fails perhaps a program to run after powerup and ask if the user wants to connect to the server could work. It could show for 10 seconds then end. There was a thread here somewhere about programs starting on powerup but I can't seem to find it now.
edit:
I read the specs and it has two "side scan keys", I bet they are your buttons waiting to be reassigned!

No one of that buttons corespond to CALENDAR or CONTACTS or CAMERA or RECORD button.
I can start the device without work program. Also I don't need to simulate tap, because I own my PDA and have knoweledge how to use it.
Users don't know much... for that i disables all. Only Work program in fullscreen mode without START MENU.

I can't do any investitions in that.
More of that it's not the same I need. I need to simulate this not only at start, also during work.
Yes, so make the prgram asking if a connect is needed run when the power button is pressed. If the user needs to connect they press off then on then the window comes up asking if a simulated tap is needed (I do not mean reset). If the full off is not desireable then dose your unit change the brightness when the power button is held down? If so, and if it is using the standard name for the named event to signal brigtness changes then you could make the tap simulate program run all the time in a loop but waiting for the brigtness change event. Waiting will take up almost no processor time and the program is so small it takes up almost no memory! The user just has to hold the power button for several seconds and the your window will pop up. The down side is that your app will also have to save then restore the brigtness settings so the user dose not need to manualy reset the brigtness level.
Hi, This is my First Post to XDA. After using TP2 for 2 months, I just got my new HD2. Its a great piece of Hardware but I immediately notice following things:
1. The Standard Task Manager that used to sit at Top Right Corner is no longer there.
2. All Settings->Personal->Buttons does not have any Button Listed. So, I cannot assign a Task Manager to Hardware Key.
After investigating, I could find that the Task Manager that find from "Settings"->"Other"->"Task Manager" is located in \windows\taskmgr.exe
This is not a Bad Task Manager but I needed to assign this to a Hardware Key.
Following Registry entries will allow you to bring up the "taskmgr.exe" when you perform a Long Press to Send Key (Left Most Hardware Key on HD2):
Go to in registry:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\
Create a new Key: Keys
Inside "Keys" create another Key: 40C6
Inside "40C6" create following Registry values:
1. Name= Name value= Send key(Hold) type=string
2. Name= Icon value= \windows\SendKeyIcon.exe, 0 Type=string
3. Name= Flags value= 0 Type=dword
4. Name= default value=\windows\taskmgr.exe Type=string
Now restart. This is working great for me.
or just use Duttys Task Manager for Leo which adds back the task manager to the top right of home screen and very nice it is too

I used Dutty as well. It gives back the Lost Task Manager from TP2. However, I also need a ATL-TAB type task switcher.

I don't know about assigning it to keys though. May be something in the registry to assign buttons?
A much simpler way to run something from a long press on the send key is to make a shortcut to the app and rename it to "long_send". Then, copy it to the windows folder.
Hi all,
I'd like to map another key for a long press. For example the Windows logo hardware key. What is the code for this ? I only know 40C6 for the call key.
Thanks.

If "long_send" exists, I cannot answer incoming call with this key.
Is it possible to assign a long press action to "home" or "Windows" key? What will be the right filename? It seems not possible with HD2 after seraching the forum.
Thanks.
Thanks!! This registry tweak works like a charm!
Trick with long_send.lnk doesnt work for me...
Another keycode is 40C7 for Endkey.
Does anyone know how to make this work on a bluetooth headset?
I'm trying to get cybertron Voice Commander to fire up on a long press of the send button on my bluetooth headset.
I've put a link to the app in /windows and named it long_send. The send key on my HD2 opens the app but the headset key doesn't?
Any idea why?
Regards
Clive

That is great!
Any other shortcuts for at least one of the HD2 keys (Home, Back, Win)?
Since I just ran into a problem with the long_send way of doing things, I thought I would add what I encountered.
I have just bought pocketshield, and wanted to have a task manager on a long send key function. Changing copying a shortcut to \windows and renaming it long_send worked great, until I power cycled. At that point the long_send disappeared, and I had to redo the shortcut trick.
I figured something was deleting it, so I used total commander to change the shortcut properties to a system read only file. This worked for the long_send function, but it broke my task manager...
So, I deleted the long_send shortcut, rebooted, and the task manager worked again, so it seems there is a conflict. I ended up using the registry hack from the first post to get it working.
Cheers!
An easier approach... You can assign any volume key long-press to the task manager(or to any program), with Volumex software
Volume keys are easier to reach as they are always next to your thumb(left hand) or next to your index (right hand). Especially on the HD2 which is big and HW keys too far below...
any solution for the win key?
sorry. duplicate..

Well, I wonder how HTC could miss this point about assigning buttons and bluetooth stuff as flixibility is probably the most important thing that wm users want.
For me, I have tried the long_send.lnk trick with MSVC, which works , but I can't receive call with send button. Now my main problem is the call button on my headset that when I long press it, it doesn't start any application, but after I install Cyberon VSD, it starts. There should be somewhere that we can configure the file location in which this long press function triggers, but still can't find it. I even can't find the Cyberon exe files.
Any idea, guys? Thanks in advance..
