I want to control Photoshop (Win 7) with shortcuts from my old 2020i WM2003SE.
I use a drawingtablet a lot, so having easy touch access to different brushes, etc would be really helpful for my work.
Does anyone have any idea how i could achieve this? I don't want to duplicate the pc screen, I only want to be able to have access to 8 buttons that will do shortcuts in photoshop.
I know how to make UI on the device to trigger exe or mortscript, but I don't have a clue how to send those to the Windows 7 pc as a keystroke.
Any ideas appreciated!

Chaps,
I'm new 'round here (first post), and I am not that clued-up on PDA and Windows CE terminology and suchlike. However I have a technical background, so will probably get along OK.
I have a Fujitsu Siemens Loox N100 (see link here.) I bought it as a Sat-Nav system, but have since discovered that you can unlock it and reveal the underlying Windows operating system. It claims to be Windows CE v5.00.
Having managed this, I have loaded various bits of software onto it, including TCPMP (MP3 player) and SpreadCE (Pocket Spreadsheet program.) Both of which work very well, and I am very happy with them.
I now want to find both address book and diary software, thus allowing me to use the machine as a PDA. However, I simply can't find anything to fit this bill - it seems that if you buy a PDA with WinCE on it, it also comes with Pocket Outlook, allowing you to do both these things. I don't have this software, and therein lies my request.
Is it possible to get hold of CAB files for Pocket Outlook, to solve this problem? Or, failing that, can anyone recommend a suitable PIM application that will both keep track of contacts for me, and run a personal diary? (If these sync with Outlook on my desktop PC that would be the icing on the cake, but it is not essential.)
Does anyone have any suggestions for suitable software for these tasks?
The other option is to use SpreadCE to write something using Excel functionals. I may be able to cook up a reasonable address book like this, but a diary would be beyond me!
Thanks for any help!
Oli.
Quick update ...
.. searching on here has thrown up "My Calender v1.5", which looks ideal for the diary part of the problem, but when I load it and run it I get the message (on the pocket device) "Fail to load CLSID".
Any ideas?
Thanks, again.
Oli.
Sorry, I am not familiar with any PIM software that will work on Win CE.
The devices we deal with here run Windows Mobile. Though it is based on Win CE (same kernel) it has a few additions on which most of the apps (fortunately not all) depend.
There is no such thing as cab for pocket outlook.
There is one thing I can recommend:
Search for "opening MIO C550". Someone created a cab for that device (unfortunately it runs CE 4.2) that adds ActiveSync to it and some dlls (like aygshell.dll) that Win Mobile apps need to run.
It also has some utilities though I am not sure about PIM.
I think this might work for you (at least you will be able to run a wider range of apps).
Oh, and the error you are getting is probably due to a missing COM object. Nothing to be done about that.
Levenum,
Thanks for your reply. It was helpful.
Your comment about Windows Mobile and Windows CE is very helpful. I thought that Windows Mobile and Windows CE were the same thing - different names for the same software. Thanks for clearing that up - apologies for ignorance. The fact that there are some things on Windows Mobile that are not on Windows CE may explain why some of the software I have tried hasn't worked.
I will try the "Opening MIO C550" search as you suggested. However, I can run Windows ActiveSync on the N100 as it is. (Although that's about it!) I'll post up here with details of how I get on ...
What do you mean by a "Missing Com Object"? What is a Com Object? You suggest that there is no way of fixing this - shame, as My Calender looks just about ideal for what I want to do!
Thanks again for your help.
Oli.
Please receive my apologies. I gave you incorrect model. There is no C550.
Mio P550 is a full PDA, but Mio C510 is a PND.
Any way here is the link, judging by the screenshots it has some kind of 'contact' app. Hope it helps.
'COM object' is a programming term. M$ invented the system and it is very problematic when moving programs around.
As you may know almost all windows programs rely on some DLL files in addition to EXE files as well. Those DLL files are programs too but they do not run by them selves but only offer functions to be used by other programs.
The idea was that if there is a common function, like say opening a window it would be in a DLL and instead of every programmer rewriting it in his code he would just call the function.
COM objects are stored in DLLs too but accessing them is more complicated. For one thing, its not enough for the DLL just to be there (like with normal DLLs) but it needs a registry entry. Have you ever dug through the registry and seen the CLSID key that has many sub keys that look like this: {a1234678-1234.....? Most of them are COM objects.
Virtual keyboards are implemented as COM objects on WM.
Levenum,
Thanks again.
It looks like I am onto a losing streak with this. I tried the details as described for the Mio C510, but to no avail - it doesn't work on the N100.
COM Objects ... thanks for the explanation. Am I right in understanding that the problem I have is a missing DLL file, when I try to run MyCalender? Would it be possible to put the relevant DLL file onto my machine? My Calender looks very much like the sort of thing I am looking to run, and I am frustrated at being so close to running it!
Failing that, does anyone else know of any PIM software that might run on WinCE?
Thanks again,
Oli.
Actually, what the error means is you are missing some registry entries.
It is most likely those entries are pointing to a DLL but there is no way of telling which DLL without knowing what the app looks for in the registry.
By the way, you do not need to follow all the instructions there.
You just need to get the cab and manually install it (I understand you can access file explorer on your device).
If that does not work, then sorry I am out of ideas.
Yea, the title speaks by itself. I have a Himalaya with WM6 and I'm developing a .NET CF program. I need to make some screenshots.
How to? Possibly for free? I found VITO Screen Capture but is not freeware and probably the license expires after formatting HDD...
Thanks in advance
Many programs can make screenshots from within the device, or from desktop pc.
Freeware utility for PC:
MyMobiler
Freeware Pocket PC apps:
MagicSS
IliumSoft's Screen Capture - with possibility of timed screenshots
And many other free apps - some were developed in Development and Hacking subforum here at xda-devs.
MyMobiler is awesome - great little program. In addition to allowing screenshots, it allows complete control of your PPC from your computer, which I find incredibly handy when I'm at my desk. Being able to work with files on the PPC from my desktop window with a keyboard and mouse is far more useful than it sounds.
XnView - a nice free image viewer also allows timed screenshots (you activate the program, set screenshot timeout, minimize it and afret given time the screenshot will be taken). Just make sure you save them in png - jpg's can look ugly.

Yeah I would give my thumbs up to My Mobiler too. Great application and its free.
My Mobiler Problems after Kaiser Tweak
I have a Tilt and I just had to do a hard reset. I installed MyMobiler and it worked perfectly until I installed Kaiser Tweak. I basically set up KT with all of the Advised Settings. Now, whenever I try to run MyMobiler, it tells me that my password is incorrect and I need to reset it. Once I reset the password on the computer, it tells me to reset it on the phone using a method which is not possible.
BTW, I never setup a password with MyMobiler.
Any Suggestions/ideas?
taking Screenshots from Device/Emulator
Hey,
here is a detailed solution for taking screenshots from your device or emulator

Hello,
I am a software developer, writting a program to run on Treo 750. I would like to have programmatic control over the three side buttons while in my application.
In PalmOS this would be possible by hanlding sysNotifyVirtualCharHandlingEvent, but I cannot find a way to handle this in Windows Mobile.
I know there are quite a few tools on the market that let's you reprogram the buttons, but I am only interested in a solution that let's me take control over the buttons via code.
Thank you very much for your help!

Hi,
I have recently bought a Samsung Omnia, which I am fairly happy with. ifonz makes it a gem!
Still one thing which I think is plain stupid is that MS 6.1 Office Mobile can only access folders to a "depth" of two folders.
I'm curious is there a registry tweak to get past this? Or any other way?
I need to keep notes, docs, photos and the like fairly organised.
Softmaker Office(70€) can do it, but is fairly expensive. So I think, if Softmaker can do it, it does not seem to be a limitation of Win Mobile but rather of office mobile.
It there is no workaround, how can I deinstall Win Office Mobile and replace it by Softmaker?
Office Mobile seems to be integrated in Win Mobile.
Please use simple instructions I am not a computer wizkid (but I can change reg entries if you tell me where).
Thanks a lot!!

I finally solved this issue:search in developers site "filedlgchg" and you will find 2 files to put in windows ppc folder...(follow the instructions in the post).
To navigate in folders you must press in left corner of bottom bar(to go up)or directly in the folders in popup window(to go down)
It works, but only partial in office mobile..
Hi, at least I can save now where I want. Great. Still I can not open where I want. At least not in Office applications. Is there a work around for this too?
Thanks for your help,
Franziska
I don't use office application to open office files.I use shortcuts to single docs or folders in Mortbuttons application:try it, it's a very good software...and free!!

Hey,
Just purchased a desktop cradle for my Touch Pro and love it.
Is there some sort of application I can install which takes over the entire screen of the device and can tell me the time, show how many SMS/MMS, Emails or any other useful info I need but in large touch friendly buttons so i can easily use it from my desk?
Thanks
Regards,
Neil
I like lakeridge's Windows Advanced Desktop.
Very configurable, but a bit of a fanny-on to get set up the way you want it. Wouldn't swap my TyTn2 for the world now though.
