Hi Guys,
I've recently purchased Asus p320. The problem i'm facing is many applications don't have Exit like text message, destinator 8, etc...
The OK key on the PDA or the cross key on screen just minimize the apps. and they keep running in background. The only way to exit them is through task manager.
Is there any way to quickly exit them like I have a recording key on the side of phone which dosen't do anything, can I assign it to terminate application some way or if that's not possible can I assign this key to open task manager?
Regards,

I'd tried out several "task close" programs and have rounded up the 2 better ones..
1 ) vjokbuttons
2 ) phmkeys "close task"
advantages of vjokbuttons is that, u can add trailing options for the different behavior
advantages of the phmkeys close task is that, when u keep on pressing the hw button assigned to this phmkey close task, and the moment u are in today screen already, the next button press will prompt a suspend ppc dialog.. ie power down.
This phmkey has been used very extensively by me due to its ability to prompt a shutdown after all apps have been closed.
however, this nifty little program also have its disadvantages..
it does close the task window.. but as applications have secondary and tertiary windows, the phmkeys close task may cause the app to behave strangely if the task close is activated in the application secondary window..
also, it causes control panel apps to not run again if the phm task close was used to close , eg , "memory" in control panel..
I remember in wisbar, its task close button will automatic detect between the need of an "OK" click and the need for the "Close" click.
Is that possible to be included in the vjokbutton?
ie if in secondary window of app [ eg options page ] to have the vjokbutton to simulate an "ok" click instead of close? and if it detects that it is in the primary window of application, to simulate a "close task" when the assigned hw button is clicked..
and of course, when in the today screen , the vjokbutton should prompt for a suspend window for shutdown
can the above features be included in your next release? vijay555?
farbird: just a quick response for now, I need to sleep:
VJOKButt does already check every time it's pressed if the window is an "OK" or an "X", and does the necessary (ie it doesn't just close every app, it pressed ok if it needs to). Hopefully. If it doesn't, please detail the app it doesn't do this in. Not all apps respond to my emulated "OK" correctly, so it may not be 100% native.
Currently, pressing VJOkButt will close the app (if it's closable). If it takes you to the today screen, pressing it again will skip to next app. Pressing again, will close it. Continuous pressing will thus close all running apps in a cycle. Ultimately you will end up on the Today screen with no other running apps.
If you want me to, I can then implement a shutdown screen, so that a subsequent press will permit shutdown. But I provide VJEschaton for shutdown related stuff really. I'm not sure it's logical to build this into VJOkButt, but if you want, I'll think about it.

Hi
First get Pocketnav.exe
Now assign right Key to PocketNav by using SoftKeyAppletEx.cpl
SmartsKeys and Pocketnav should be running
done
Now when u press the key once you will get the pocketnav menu and you Can switch programs
And if u press the key for 2 Seconds the running Program will be closed as this is the default behaviour of smartskeys 0.52
I think i am able to explain it
Image to show how it works
no replies yet !
i think its very good to switch bw programs
Hello.
I've developed an application for HTC Mobiles, and I've just received a Diamond. Mi app hides Windows Mobile, but in this device you can press the Home Button to exit to Today screen, and I'd like to disable it.
I've downloaded Dredsensor, which works perfectly and allows a lot of things more, but I'd need to implement it in my application, and I only need to disable the buttons.
How could I do this?
Thanks,
Enrique
Hi, guys, I've been using WM for a long time but this question has always interested me. Why "x" button doesn't close the apps but it rather kind of minimizes them? Ok, it's not problem for me, because I use software that makes "x" button close the apps, but why WM was designed that way? Most of the embedded apps in WM don't even have "exit" command in their menus. It's like WM is designed to has a lot of apps/processes running in the background? I always check Task Manager to verify that there isn't any parasitic app running that can heat up my device and drain the battery.
You can enable this in settings... by default it is set to minimise programs when you tap X, and close them when you tap and hold X. Go into settings, Task Manager, Button and you can set it to close programs buy just tapping X... no extra software needed. And yep, I guess it's designed that way so you can multi task.
when you close an application with ok/x button it doesn't close and stay in ram memory, so the next time you select the same application it will start immediately from the ram..

In Task Manager, there is no setting for the "x" button. At least not in the original WM 6.1/6.5
This is screen of Dutch Rom (6.1 and 6.5) with option as described above.
Moved as not software release.
I have a form in an app on a Windows Mobile 6.5 device that I'm using to listen for an XButton1 KeyDown event, pretty simple stuff:
this.KeyDown += new System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventHandler(this.Form1_KeyDown);
now it all works fine and dandy except when the form is minimized. Then when you press the button on the device, nothing happens. For example, if I have the app open, open the start menu and then hit the button, the event isn't triggered.
I've tried looking up the Virtual Key for XButton1 but I can't find anything that appears conclusive.
Any idea on how I can get this button to fire its event while the form is minimized?
