Anybody have an idea on how to go to the threaded SMS inbox for a particular contact in WM6.1? I'm looking to compose an SMS (called from other programs), but in the view of previous messages with that contact.

I can get to the inbox and can get to the SMS composer for a contact, but not the inbox "for a contact".

and I've played around with the registry (HKLM/Software/HTC/Biotouch/Action Scree and it's APP_0 and it's probably the Parameter that is wrong but I haven't been able to figure it out. Thanks

the link for viewing start\programs is "\windows\folderview.exe"

I wanted one that went to programs\games, so I wrote a little mortscript that opens that link and them clicks games. I tried using the link to folderview.exe and adding parameters but had no success. If anyone has the parameters for that it would be a great find.

Also, I made a link to send pics to photobucket mobile. Looks like this

:MSINBOX-service "Gmail" -to "AddressProvidedByPhotobucket" -subject "New Pictures"

Could anyone help to provide parameters to >menu>insert>picture

If I could get those parameters, it would skip right to where you select the pictures. TIA -jmckeejr

Shortcut to Programs folder (w/ 4 columns, 5 rows of large icons)

I haven't been able to find any solutions to create a shortcut to the Programs folder as if you actually clicked Start, Programs.

Unfortunately, folderview.exe does not take advantage of the registry edit (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=423911) that allows 4 columns by 5 rows of icons to be shown on screen at once. (Folderview.exe only shows a default 3 columns by 4 rows of icons.)

Has anyone been able to figure out a way to create a shortcut which mimics clicking Start, Programs? Or else can folderview.exe somehow support the display of more icons on screen?

Thanks!

shortcut for folders

Hi, I have a quick question

I looked everywhere, and I didn't find an answer - How can I make a shortcut for a folder.

I created a folder Games, in Windows\Start Menu\Programs - how can I make a shortcut for it? Is it possible, and if so, how?

thank you

Currently, I don't thnk anyone knows how to make a shortcut to the folder view you get by clicking start\programs.

I don't understand all of the above. If I want to creat a link to any of the above, how do I do it? I don't know what it all means.

ex. Settings>Personal>Menus>Start Menu = 21#ctlpnl cplmain.cpl,11

what is the "21#", what is the "ctlpnl cplmain.cpl", and what is the ",11"

How do I go about creating a link to any of the above. Sorry, and any help will be appreciated.

[Windows Mobile Software Development] rickytr23:
nice

love it great job
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Upquark:
If you read the entire topic, things will clear up for you.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] RoryB:
Use your PC's notepad and start a new file.

21#ctlpnl cplmain.cpl,11

21# - 21 is the number of characters following the # symbol

ctlpnl - is the call for the program ctlpnl

cplmain.cpl- is the control panel being opened

,11 - is the specific location in the control panel to open

By the way 21#ctlpnl cplmain.cpl,11,1

,1 - is the specific tab to open in that control panel

When done, save the file, but be sure to change type from "txt" to "any file". Filename should be in form of "shortcutname.lnk" Copy it to your phone and it is ready to use.

[Windows Mobile Software Development] bbobeckyj:

[Windows Mobile Software Development] RoryB:
Try "tmail.exe" -Service "" -to ""
[Windows Mobile Software Development] korbi:
Unfortunatelly I typed the correct link. I even tried with space or no space or added a -to ""

I kind of get the feeling that only a little thing is missing, but I cant figure out what. You didnt by any chance miss-type the original link? ;-)

Thanks for Your help
[Windows Mobile Software Development] RoryB:
Here is the one I use. The other one was from memory. Bad memory bad.

27#"tmail.exe" -to "" -body ""

It brings up the list of services to choose exchange, SMS, MMS, etc
[Windows Mobile Software Development] bbobeckyj:
Big oops :o I just checked it and I can't get it to work either.

This is the correct one -

"tmail.exe" -New

or as Roryb says

"tmail.exe" -to "" -body ""

Does anyone know if a .lnk can be made to simulate a d-pad right/left press? What I'm actually trying to do is find a easy one-handed way to page down on a Raphael in Opera Mini without AEBPlus, so I thought it might be easy to map the PTT button to right arrow if I could make it a .lnk. I still can't get the hang of clicking right on the d-pad without hitting the hang-up button every once in a while.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] bbobeckyj:
Vijay555's keypress will do it.

So will mortscript, also you could write a script which sends a right keypress only when opera is active/onscreen, and have 'normal actions when any other program is active.

There is no .lnk to do it.

MS contacts filters shortcut solved ( kinda )

I have been searching high and low for a shortcut or lnk file to my standard ms favourite contacts list with no luck:mad:

However i have been messing around with button mapping and have found a good turn around:)

If you map the long push send key in ms button mapping to contacts,once contacts is opened every long press of the send key scrolls through the filters! ( unfortunatley it starts with the most recent contact filter first, but i find the just as usefull! )

If you cant be bothered with all that long pushing and waiting,mapp send key with ab buttons+ to single press ( hold button 1 ).= one press for every filter:D

This works well on my diamond with 6.5 rom:)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] UKenGB:
Still after a way to create a shortcut to 'Settings'. I see a fix that worked with WM6, but has ANYONE found a way to do this for WM6.1?

The equivalent for 'Programs' is so simple (using folderview), surely there must be something similar for 'Settings'. What is SettingDLL (in /Windows), is that relevant here?

[Windows Mobile Software Development] tatarasi:
Hi, I really don't know if what I want it is possible, so I am asking humbly:

This is what I am doing now:

- I open Settings/ Connections/ Bluetooth/ Devices tab

- here I have a couple of BT devices paired. I long-press on one of them, and it opens a window, from which I choose "Set as Wireless Stereo"

I am using a shortcut for the first step.

My question is: Is it possible to create a shortcut to do the second step, as well? In other words, a shortcut to do them both?

thank you very much, and I apologize if my request is unrealistic :)

i think this depends on your device, but *if* you have a samsung, you can create a link to:

"\windows\setting_t.exe /sc_br"

for other brands, the file & argument will probably differ; to find out your file & argument, head over to

[Windows Mobile Software Development] petervbeck:
just create a new file on your desktop computer with an editor, enter this line:

23#"ctlpnl" cplmain.cpl,10

and save as YourShortcutName.lnk, then copy to your phone and you're done

if it is too hard for you - use Shortcut Creator

or another solution is using QuickMenu, see post #20.

With QuickMenu you've got a GUI-Interface to create this shortcut

Execute: ctlpnl // Parameter: cplmain.cpl,10

Click "Create Shortcut" and the tool asks you where to save your new shortcut. done. :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] dferreira:
And the icons? How do we put an icon? We simply associate an icon to it?

add icon to .lnk

as far as i can see - it adds the icon into the lnk file just after the program with parameters (path to icondll, iconnumber):

46#"ctlpnl" cplmain.cpl,10?\Windows\icon.dll,0

An easy (GUI) way is using Shortcut Creator (see also post #20) (it's also easy to create an shortcut to an app including parameter - see attached screenshot...

BTW: i just used the first dll that came along in screenshot, it's just for example! (afaik there is no icon included)
