ok well i figured out my problem, looks like i wasnt linking to the shortcut corrcetly...figures lol

but now i have a new problem, i want to add an icon for sound settings and for my today screen programs. i know how to set up the shortcuts, i just dont know how to use icon viewer to find the correct icons.

can someone please point me int he right direction on how to exactky use icon viewer? I tried seraching and funny enough this thread comes up as one of the very few when searching for icon viewer help....

Where are the settings for PHM traylaunch stored? I hate typing in the addresses of each and every icon again each time I flash a new rom to one of my devices. I'm hoping I can copy the right file(s) and simply copy back after installing a new rom.

I wonder why Excel Mobile will not show up as a shortcut in the TrayLaunch. This is the path I used...

\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Excel Mobile.Ink

Am I missing something here? Thanks in advance...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] raymonds:
use lnk, not Ink.

This thread has wandered about a bit, but my query applies to the original topic - I have Traylaunch installed and have it linking to the running programs applet. Nice. Any way I can get the icons of the running apps on the tray, rather than a link to the 'running programs' page.

In short, if I've got three apps running, I'll have the three icons of the running apps in the tray, if I've got four running, I'll have the four icons etc.

Thanks

Reposting TrayLaunch?

Hello,

The PHM TrayLaunch download link has been removed from the first post in this thread. Does anyone have a copy of the application they could repost?

Thanks!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] maxh:
Here it is. Just unzip and move the exe onto your phone. There is no installation; the exe is the entire program.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] mos84:
OK, I made it in Notepad, and saved as .lnk file, it works. Is there easier way to create a shortcut with content?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] ZeBoxx:
you could copy an existing .lnk file on your PPC to a new filename, and edit that ;)

You can also use Total Commander and select a file, then use File >>>>> > Create Shortcut to create one.

Of you can use File Explorer, tap-and-hold on the file, choose copy - tap-and-hold on an empty area and choose "Paste Shortcut".
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] ZeBoxx:
In addition to what I just wrote above... no, no documentation really. There might be some, somewhere, but no idea :)

Basically for .exe files, just a regular shortcut to the file works. You can use that "?<file>,<icon index>" to give it a different icon.

For .cpl (control panel files), just use the name of the control panel file and add the ",N" at the end and see what it pops up. That's how I worked it out. The second ",N" is for the 'tab' in the applet that would pop up. If it has no tabs, just leave it out. If it has tabs, and you want to go to a different tab than the default, you'd add it.

I do have a list of what is in cplmain.cpl on my device, but you should be able to work out the network connection one after almost a dozen and a half tries :)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] mos84:
it would be OK if I could edit .lnk file in Files Explorer. I can't edit .lnk file there or I'm blind.... when I tap and hold on that file I have only options ---> paste, copy, change name, delete, send via e-mail and send. There is no edit option..
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] ZeBoxx:
nope.. not blind. Total Commander has a small text editor built-in. That's probably the easiest option.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] mos84:
so do I have to edit this file in Total Commander, in FExplore is it impossible?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] mos84:
OK, I installed TC and there is Notepad built-in :) Thank You man!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] lpasq:
wow... how cool... mr "z" is teaching code 101. i'm all in!!!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] ZeBoxx:
eek, no way!

I couldn't code my way out of a box when it comes to the PPC - though I fully understand the tweak app by nicodekker - but that's because it's VB ;) I'm still pretty much completely in the dark when it comes to C/C++ :)

This stuff is just shortcuts.. easy-peasy by comparison
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] mos84:
lpasq - I got a question. Do you take photos of your PDA or use app like "Prt Scr" button on normal keybord ? If you use an app let me know its name?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] ZeBoxx:
I'm not who you asked, but...

http://www.freewareppc.com/graphics/magicss.shtml - Magic ScreenShot

Stick it under a button as it will take a picture immediately. Prompts for filename.

and/or

http://www.cetoolbox.com/PocketScreenCapture/ - Pocket Screen Capture

Takes the shot 5 seconds after you OK a dialog. Auto-names the files.

I have both because I sometimes needed to take shots at an exact moment (timing it within 5 seconds is tough), while pressing a button also closes menus - which is where the timered one came in ;)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] McHale:
isn't there a prog for the PC that takes a screen shot of the PPC and saves to your desktop? I thought I remembered seeing that someplace on here but can't find it for the life of me. It's supposed to be the best quality as well...

-Mc
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] lpasq:
enjoy! oh... it is a "print screen" type and takes a few seconds to take picture. it puts a file in device main-storage that just saves over itself every photo. simply pull it to pc and name it or save-as new name and store it wherever. it will auto-load a shortcut in start-menu and that is the best place to shoot from. the 2-second photo-lag is so the start menu closes before taking picture of whatever's on screen.

Bugger, still not working for me. I have the "ctlpnl.exe" and "cplmain.cpl" in my windows directory.

I've downloaded the file to my PC then copied to the windows folder and tried running it straight from Total Commander but get "The file '24#ctlpnl cplmain' cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. You might need to reistall or restore this file."

The contents of the shortcut is correct as it contains the command as you listed it.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] ZeBoxx:
what if you make a file with:

24#fexplore.exe

?

That should open file explorer. Lessee if opening a regular ol' app at least works for you.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] lpasq:

\windows\start menu\programs\activesync.lnk

I was writing .ink instead of .lnk. thanks for your help.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] ZeBoxx:
like I said.. that first number... *shrug* set it to 64 or something ;) I've never noticed a link fail if that number is lower or higher than it technically should be.

Don't know if this is possible, but is there a way to get the icons on the tray a lil bigger, i.e. more thumb friendly.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] ZeBoxx:
nope, not possible with PHM TrayLaunch. You'll maybe want to look into something like tdLaunch, cLaunch, and a bunch of other "Today Screen" item launchers.

I liked the idea of having them in the tray because I don't need to have 20 shortcuts on the today screen, or have them all categorized on separate tabs - just the 8-10 most frequently used ones :)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] lpasq:
me too. i like the phm traylnch solution because it's so clean and i don't need to run a heavier plug-in.

why use your thumb? isn't the point to d-pad/action-key navigate? i stopped using this program launch plug-in. try it if you want >>>>>

If I copy the taskman.lnk file and point to it, evrything is fine.

If I edit the taskman.lnk to remove the bits that I added in, it still fails with the above message. I have to copy ZeBoxx's lnk back onto the device

The 24#fexplore.exe example only works if I miss th 24# bit off :oops:
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] lpasq:
stunno...

what exactly are you doing with phm taskman? it doesn't like our wizard. that's why we link to the on-board 'running programs' applet. the only thing phm taskman is good for is the icon.

this what you need

24#ctlpnl cplmain.cpl,4,2?phm taskman.exe,-103

for it to work, put the phm taskman.exe in /windows/ and don't mess with it ever again.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] TheFuzz:
can someone help me (a total noob) understand how to add programs to the task tray using phm? I have tried to add the shortcuts several times, but I am obviously missing something. If someone could just show the code or correct string to add say, xpresmail calendar to the tray that would be super.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] stunno:
I'm not doing anything with the phm taskman, the taskman.lnk that I was refering to was the shortcut posted by Zeboxx on the first pageof this thread. This holds the path to call the control panel active task screen.

Stops working after some time & Err msg. after soft rese

Hi there,

PHM TrayLaunch is really a very nice application, just what I was looking for. I got it to work on my VPA compact II and added some icons, but now I am encountering two problems:

1) PHM TrayLaunch just stops working after some time. I haven't yet found out what triggers it, but the symptoms are that the icons are still there in the task bar but nothing happens when tapping on them. The default battery and com manager icons still work, but not the ones added by PHM. When I start PHM again, I have two sets of PHM-configured icons in the task bar: The old ones that don't work and new ones that do work.

2) After a soft reset, I get an error message that phm_traylnch_182.exe is either not trustworthy or a component is missing. I have a shortcut to the executable in my autostart folder; PHM TrayLaunch itself is installed in "\Storage Card\Programme\PHM". When I start it manually, it works.

Any ideas?

Regards, Richard
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] lpasq:
Re: Stops working after some time & Err msg. after soft

fyi... my initial setup:

connected to pc via desktop activesync

opened /windows folder

placed .exe to /windows

copied shortcut to /windows/start menu/programs

disconnected activesync

tapped start > programs > phm traylaunch

set shortcuts

turned off device (not just soft reset)

turned on device

program had set self to startup folder but i don't know at what point in the setup process... and works fine every re-boot since

so, you may want to remove the program including any startup folder shortcuts etc. and then start over.

let me know if this doesn't work!

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] ZeBoxx:
there might be some odd shortcut to a native app, but I've never spotted one... here's some small utilities that do screen rotation simply by running them

http://www.pocketpcfreeware.com/en/index.php?soft=1232 - rotate 90 degrees (right-handed)

http://www.pocketpcfreeware.com/en/index.php?soft=1233 - rotate 270 degrees (left-handed)

http://www.pocketpcfreeware.com/en/index.php?soft=1231 - rotate 180 degrees (up-side-down)

The above three will rotate back if run again.

flushing the icon cache

I was able to extract the icons using icon viewer, but I have to reset my device to get the icons to update. is there a way to update the icon cache without resetting? at first I thought I wasnt doing it right cuz I would make a shortcut to the control panel I wanted and would put the command to steal the icon from another exe or dll, but it would always show a blank icon. I gave up, but after a reset, I noticed the icons would change. I was using total commander notepad to make the shortcut and even after reloading the directory, the icons would still be blank. even tried completely closing total commander but nothing would change, until a reset... is this normal? p.s. I have a ppc6700......
