TO DO TASK EDIT - HTC Tornado

Hello. I have a Qtek 8300 (SP5m), and have found that there is no way to edit the information in the tasks application (I mean, the TO DO list). Is it possible? I can only enter the text for a new task, but can't edit the due date, and the other task information. Am I correct ? Should I use an external program to handle all the task information?
Also: is there some way to reassign the three Windows Media buttons to execute a different program?
Thank you.

Batch files in CE?

Hello,
Is it possible to write batch files in CE? I would like to create a script to start a sequence of executables. For instance, start bluetooth, checkpoint and then TOMTOM.
Thanks,
Marco
Yes that interests me too
Yes,there was a .cab in Sin-merged Rom 2003se for Himalayas about Dos.
Try check out the post.
PS: Don't use pocket dos.
I find this
MortRunner
"With MortRunner, you can start, close, activate, and hide programs, and even remote control them to a certain degree.
It's more an hacker tool without a nifty interface, which can execute some kind of batch files..."
Here you can d/l the latest beta. There's not much new there, but it might be useful for some...
- Includes a tool to support WM's autorun on storage card insert/remove
- Rotate command
- .mortrun extension only registered when started without parameters (to avoid it's changed to the autorun folder)
(Don't worry about the German forum, the zip includes an English manual)
Mort > Thanks for your work
Is there a way to create a ".mortrun" file to mute/unmute the system sound ?
I'd like to do this to be able to use a shortcut to this file and so voice command mute/unmute via Microsoft Voice Command.
See this thread

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
No.

Starting an application with the power button? WM6

Can I map an application to the short-press of the power button?
I'd like the connection manager to show up rather than the profiles list.
Is that possible? If so, how?
Couldn't find no .lnk that seemed to fit so I guess it's a registry thing...?
Saw some similar threads in other device specific forums but didn't find any actual answer, figured the keymapping is device specific thus didn't post in the new general forum, hope my thinking was right.
You can map an application to the short-press of the power button with CeleTask. Open CeleTask, go to Tools-Action-Add Tool, choose thru "..." application you need, and mark "REPLACE QUICK LIST". Thats all. Good luck;-)
Celetask can do that too
Thanks for the info guys, I'll check that thing out.

Still, since I like to tweak my devices manually, does anyone know how changing the power button functionality works in detail?
Make copy of your registry before you doing manipulation with CeleTask and after. Compare them, and you will see where in registry you can do what you want;-)

Handling context menu

Hi again, sorry but I've got another silly questions that refrain me from sleeping and I haven't found better place to put it.
Namely, could someone explain how the wince system handles context menu and what is needed (components and registry entries) to display it ? I mean the context menu when you double-click desktop / hold stylus or for example on a file.
Thank You very much Your answers and sorry if the post is in wrong place.
each program handle their own contex menu
if they manage it by reg's or hardcoded or an xml file
depend on the programmer
Yeah, U right, that I know, but I am looking for the mechanism in windows core / mobile - these standard context menu like for desktop and files (that's probably explorer context menu). I am trying to figure out having an "opened" gps device with windows core, some are stripped so much that are lacking the context menu - u hold the stylus, dots are appearing and nothing happens. I am looking for a way to restore the abilty to call / display the context menu (the standard one given us by BIll) So far I guess it must be regulated by explorer, am I right ?
I am not quite sure what you are trying to do, but if you are trying to add some stripped functionality to a PNA (navigation only device) via registry you are wasting your time.
If it is not there you ether need to find and install an app that will replace it or you are out of luck.

Floating context menu in WM6 Standard (smartphone)?

Hi - I have searched and searched, but can't find the answer: how do you bring up the context menu (ie. right-click menu on the desktop; tap&hold action on Pocket PC) on a smartphone?
I have a T-Mobile Shadow (HTC Juno), but every button I try to "hold" just activates its "single press" function. I might have assumed that the Smartphone OS does not include support for a context menu, except I read somewhere that it was assigned to one of the hardware buttons on the HTC Tornado, and when using MyMobiler (remote keyboard/mouse app, kind of like VNC for the smartphone) I am able to right-click on screen items to bring up context menus. Obviously these menus exist, especially because WM6 has a (mostly) unified application platform, and many otherwise PPC apps make heavy use of the tap&hold menu function.
Digging around in the registry, I found the following key:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Extensions\ContextMenu\{CCCB31A5-8BA0-11d2-8C2F-00C04F72E246}
As well as a "ContextMenus" (plural) key in the same area that contains sub-keys for ActiveSync, AppView, Calendar, Contacts, Inbox, Notes, Phone, PicturePicker, Pictures...
...so clearly even many of the built-in smartphone apps include support for context menus.
I'd like to assign the context-menu functionality to my Shadow's hardware key, which probably means I need to create a shortcut file (.lnk) that activates this extension. Does anybody know how to do this? The PPC hardware button architecture is different; it uses a DWORD "Flags" value of "0B" for the context menu.
Anybody? Being able to bring up the context menu makes applications like Total Commander much easier to use. Please don't reply and tell me that there's no such thing as a floating context menu on the Smartphone OS, because I've disproven that.
(cross-posted at MoDaCo here: http://www.modaco.com/content/HTC-J...ting-context-menu-in-WM6-Standard-smartphone/)
there aren't context menus on smartphones
That's a funny one. Seriously, install MyMobiler and try right-clicking in on the Smartphone interface with your mouse. You'll get context menus.

Registry Key Toggle (for Command Prompt!)

Hello friends,
I am trying to figure out how to script a specific registry change which I can toggle off and on on Windows Mobile 6 without manually running a registry editor. The registry key I want to be able to toggle between 0 and 1 is:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\Console\OutputTo
I have searched heavily, and read about MortScript, but I feel there must be a better way to get this very simple task done.
The reason I want to be able to toggle the above registry key between 0 and 1 is to properly run a Command Prompt (like DOS prompt) on our Windows Mobile 5/6. If you happen to be interested in getting the Command Prompt on your Windows Mobile 5/6 device see the web site listed below (everything will work as soon as we can toggle the above registry key, without being able to toggle the key the Windows Mobile 5/6 boot process will get clogged by the command prompt window, forcing the user to manually close several open instances of the command prompt before going back to the Today Screen, which is quite a nuisance).

If anyone has any ideas I would be very great full. Thank you!
I would say that Mortscript is the easiest way you could automate a registry edit. Dotfred's Advanced Task Manager has some shortcut parameters that can reference a given .reg file and edit the registry based off of that, but Mortscript is probably easier. And in the future, don't create duplicate threads, it's against XDA's rules.
Thank you for your response. I will look into Dotfred's Advanced Task Manager as you have stated.
Other comments or ideas are appreciated as well. Thank you.
