Switch SIP (txt input method) without stylus?

Is there some hack/app for that?
I'd like to map it to hw button for better one-hand usability, but I couldn't find anything about how to do it...

I'm looking for such an app, too. So please tell us, if you found a solution.
TIA,
BGK

Since no one is stepping up to the mark for now, I'll upload this
All it does is switch to QWERTY sip.
At some point I'll get it to enumerate all SIPs and you can specify them from command line, but I've no idea how to enumerate SIPs yet. I'm only just learning C++! :shock:
If you send me the CLSID of the SIP you want, I might knock together custom versions, but I'd rather learn how to enumerate and do a nice solution... :roll:

Wow, great. That's one big step forward! Haven't downloaded and tested your app now, but it sounds great!
A few months ago, I started to develop an app like this, but due to limited time I got stuck with it. But this could be helpful for your sipswitch:
Maybe you could get all installed SIPs by reading the registry (look for all entries with the key "IsSIPInputMethod" in HKEY_Classes_Root/CLSID/).
Finally, it would be great being able to select several input methods to switch between them (in my case, I normally prefer the letter recognizer but switch to Intellipad when I'm on the road :wink.
Greetings,
BGK

BGK: thanks for the info.
The procedure to enumerate SIPs is built into the API, SipEnumIM and SipEnumIMProc. I've never written an enumerator in C++, only VB, so I'll learn how to do it one day soon. If anyone cares to demonstrate how, I'll be happy to put it together.
I imagine what the prog will eventually do is enumerate the installed SIPs. Then you can specifiy by command line "SipSwitch.exe Calligrapher" or "SipSwitch.exe Keyboard" etc and it'll switch and popup that sip.

I finished it finally.
I managed to get it do to everything indicated, ie Toggle Sip and switch sip by name, eg SwitchSip Calligrapher will bring up calligrapher.

Is it possible to change the SIP in silent mode? I want to change the SIP without the SIP to pop-up after change ? Possible?

Why? It has vijay's program that has been developed here. How does this not belong in development and hacking?

I hate the SIP panel, and I favor the switch the Input Method via keyboard silently.

desktop program on windows mobile ?

Hello,
I might sound naive but would it be able to run a desktop simple application (such as a dictionnary in my case) on my windows mobile device ?
Thank you in advance for any tip

No.
Different OS and different processor architecture mean your WM device wouldn't have a clue as to what to do with this app.
There DOS emulators that can run old apps with varying degree of success bu nothing for windows as far as I know.

As it's been pointed out, it's pretty futile to try to emulate anything. Use a remote controller application - see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=288506 for more info
EDIT: I've just noticed you've already read the article

There is a DOS emulator for ppc though.

BTW, there are a lot of dictionaries for the Pocket PC, including even Japanese. Did you read my related articles?

No, I looked around, but could not find your article. I would be glad to have the link.
I also found out that roadlingua dictionary shell (http://www.absoluteword.com/roadlng/) might be a solution, as I can create my own data base. I might be able to tune the one that is working on my desktop and implement it on this shell (french<>japanese). I will give it a try this w.e.
I also found these dictionaries for Japanese<>English (most of them freeware)

[Nov 5 08] Totally Control Your Ring - Create unlimited ring profiles

Development has ended.
Sound Option Builder BETA
DONATE FOR SOB
SOB allows complete control of how your phone responds to an incoming call. With SOB you can edit the script used by your phone when a call is received. This script, and the associated sound file (MP3 or WAV) results in sounds, vibrating, flashing LEDS, and so on.
SOB includes 5 quick set buttons preprogrammed with some helpful ring scripts. Use these scripts as starting points to create your own unique ring scripts.
With SOB you can even associate a different ring tone for each script you create. And you can preview your creations right in SOB.
For those using application launchers such as UltimateLaunch, Throttle, rlToday, MortScript, etc, SOB includes features specifically designed for you. Shortcuts can be created in SOB that when used with a launcher, or the start menu, there is no limit to the number of combinations of scripts and ringtones you can make. See the Command Line section in the attached readme file for more information.
With the ability to create unlimited ring scripts and pair them with any ring tones SOB is also a ring profile creator and profile switcher.

Version History:
v.03 - Should fully support VGA devices now.
v.02 - Added support for volume changes in Preview
v.01 - Beta

Interesting Software
I am looking for this kind of application for a long time due to I have to do it manually by changing the registry value. I guess this software change the registry value too.
The issuea are: i) program appearance in VGA is not correct (attached images); ii) same as changing the registry value, once I choose the Phone\Settings... to change other thing such as Service, band etc, the phone sound will be back to 'Ring'. The same with pointing to the Setting/Personal/Notification.

Hello,
that looks excellent.
with friendly greet

There is a separate QVGA version uploaded to post #1.
I have no way to test. I hope it works for you.

This is a decision of Microsoft engineers, not me. Afraid I can't do much about that.

I am using HTC Universal which is VGA! And the screen is captured from that device. Anyway, I tried your new uploaded cab (You said the QVGA) but the program ask me to 'initiate the .NetCF with listed version...' I am using cooked ROM WM 6.1 (Ranju 7.7). Hope that infor help.

Nice looking peice of software
I wonder if something like this could be tweaked to delay the vibration for x seconds after the ring-ton starts?
Similar to the "Vibrate then Ring" mode, but in reverse.
Tim

You can vibrate after ringtone starts playing but the ringtone will completely finish before vibration starts. Your phone runs each command one at a time in sequence so they never overlap eachother.

Sorry chuotdx. New CAB uploaded. Do not use the QVGA for VGA devices. The regular CAB is for VGA. I still cannot test it.

No problem, VGA and QVGA are confused. I re-download the cab file you supplied, then uninstall the current version on my Universal, clean the system by Memmaid then install your new cab file. Unfortunately, the problem exist as exactly same as my captured screen before (in 1st page). I saw you use Kaiser is QVGA device? It's hard for you to test on VGA device, isn't it?

Cut & Paste Function

Hi,
Can someone please tell me how to cut & paste text with my e-mails using a
s710.
Thanks for the help

That option comes with wm 6.1 but if you are using wm 6.0 you can install programs like : "SmartToolkit 1.0.0.RC08" or "VITO CopyPaste"

Thanks Matrix.. How do I select the text (Highlight) to cut/paste. Thank you..

I use 6.1 and I still use Vito Copy/Paste. You can select text by holding the center d-pad button and it will popup a menu allowing you to cut all, copy all or paste.

Check out my signature. My software incorporates Vito CopyPaste and many other ways of copying and pasting. It has many more functions like supporting multiple browsers, favorites, etc. Take a look at the screenshots, the clipboard/copy/paste will be something of interest.

How come there is no utility mentioned in wiki. And Xda forum hard to search.
By the way great utility.

There is a utility called Scissors. That is very good.

set pointui/cube as HOME?

hello,
by default - holding the red phone-hangup button brings me to today-screen.
but in my case i don't use the windows mobile today screen at all! i installed pointui - as autostart.
i hardly have any reason to go to the today screen.
can't i change this behaviour somehow ? when i hold the red hangup-button i want to go "back" to pointui - not to today-screen.
in case there's no solution like that - is there at least some kind of today-plugin that could bring me back to pointui home ? maybe so alround-lauch-exe-plugin ?
by the way: i'm talking about WM2003SE!
thank you!

I'm sorry that I do not know the solution to the problem. Please, next time you post, do not make a misleading title (! instead of ?) in the wrong section.

If you can post your device i can tell you if you can use the Long_End.lnk trick.
I can then also move this thread to that device's Forum.
A good start would be to contact or check the PointUI website/forum to see if the home.exe accepts a parameter
(home.exe -h)
To return to the home screen
But the Long_end.lnk does not work on all devices.
Will put this into the general forum as Pointui does not have an active development thread here.
Attached you will find a shortcut file.
Change the .txt to .lnk then copy it to the windows directory on your device. Hold down the read Call Button and keep it pressed.
This may or may not work on your device.
But there was no information about your device or rom either in your signature or post which makes it hard to actually give a good answer to your question.

hello,
the device i'm talking about is a magician.
i changed the Long_end.lnk - to the correct path of Home.exe and copied it to \WINDOWS <---- really windows ? no subfolder ?
i tried - does not change anything. anyway - thank you for the info!
another idea ?

Yeah magician i'm not sure if it has a rom that supports this function.
Touch, Kaiser and some others do. It's hardcoded to the Keyboard driver or keypad driver if i;m correct so i'm not sure it's use able in the Magician.
Oh BTW it should have been Long_End.lnk (Yup no subfolders)
But i have no other suggestion, maybe someone else has.
