thanks,

those reg keys even if there are, the location of Manila is always down.

and if active PositionFix.exe running automatically okay.

for me now the only solution was PositionFix.exe active processes

Amarullz,

thank you very much for this GREAT Program! You saved my and probably many others day with this! We all needed a program that closes programs AUTOMATICALLY by X. And this program does it!!!

Keep this function up, no matter what. I don't care if the manila or whatever works (don't use it anyways ;-)

but everybody should want to close a program with X. Thanks again!;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] PanicMan:
Thanks for this great App, its very nice and usefull!

I also noticed that "SUITE_PositionFix_WinClasses" Feature. Works great with Resco.

I work with SPB Mobile Shell 3.5, needed to remove "Manilla;" so it works great now, but I habe an other Program, than needs to be fixed in size, Mobipocket Reader, very nice, free and my favorite eBook Reader, but some buttons are hidden behind the new Taskbar of WM6.5.

What ClassName should I write down here so that its size will be adjusted too, like in Resco?

Thx for Help!

My dialer seems to be out of position even though I am running the position fix and manila is now fixed. Anyone know what the window class of the dialer might be or how I can determine what the windows classes are so I can place it in the registry?

Edit:

I placed Dialog in the registry and that fixed the phone dialer but whenever I am on a call that screen showing the call is out of position. When I hang up it goes back to being fixed but my guess is that screen has a different window class. Anyone know how I can figure that one out?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Omega Ra:
I can't seem to get it to close applications with the x...even when I have the close on tap enabled it still doesn't close them. I have build 23089

EDIT: mine defaulted to 1 for close on tap for some reason, but it didn't close on tap. With a value of one a tap or a hold merely minimized the program. I changed the value to 0 and now a tap minimizes and a hold closes...good enough for me.

Same here :( Had to hard reset the phone :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] JKingDev:
Hello, I just had a small question/request. Is it possible to trigger the x-button by command line? For instance, launching "showcase.exe -X" would perform the same action that tapping the x/ok button would, and "showcase.exe -XL" would perform the same action that holding the x/ok button would. This would be very useful because then I could map the hardware ok key to this. That way apps that I have showcase set to ignore will be minimized by showcase and others would be closed. Would love to see this in the next release.

Working with no problems here. Thanks for the great program!

showcase doesnt work when sim pluged in

Hi, please help me with this one as Im going mad......

I've tryed all wersions of wm6.5.x I found, all reg triks but I still cannot get a showcase work.

Its working fine until I put a sim card in.

Afterwards whenever I try to launch it nothing happen. I can see showcase.exe in task manager though

I've got HTC Touch (Elfin)

Or is there any way to disable it and use a classic task manager from previouse versions of wm (top right hand corner)

Thank you
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Raghav_K:
I'd also like to know if there's any way to add other apps to the position fix list :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] JKingDev:
You need to find the window class name for the app's window. Try using this task manager to do so:

http://www.dotfred.net/TaskMgr.htm

The window class is specified next to the window name.

Go under Windows/Startup folder and remove posfix or it my be called positionfix. They will conflict with Showcase Suite.

ShowcaseSuite messes up email/sms apps

I have the 101 version installed via ROM, so I cannot uninstall it before installing 110 suite!

I think that is the reason why suite messes up my email/sms apps. I cannot compose or send emails/sms and the apps don't even close when accessed, the phone totally freezes (X1i).

Is there a way to install suite without being able to fisrt UNinstall the old version? I tried manually delete but since its the ROM, it cannot be deleted and renamed files create new once of themselves.

Thanks in advance...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] burtcom:
Pocket Player?

Has anyone gotten Pocket Player to show correctly? Supposedly the Class name is Pocket Player (with the space between) but I've put that in the registry and it makes no difference.

BTW, you can fix Resco Registry by adding RESCO_REGISTRY_CLASS to Suite_positionfix_winclasses
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] JKingDev:
It is probably not working because shocase suite is running. It has a link in the startup. Since you cant delete the link, try overwriting it with a dummy link, then reboot, then try installing 110.

I was also unable to get Pocket Player to show correctly. amarullz, is the space in the class name causing the problem?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] michaelthemage:
Thanks for the tip. Tried that, even deleted the startup link (was possible!), but the showcase loads even with this startup gone!!!

Looks grim. I'd like the suite and the ability to close a program when x ing the app. I wjust wish there would be a registry hack so that showcase_x can do that too.

command switch is not working too for me with my HD2 but it is fast however
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] LordDeath:
I installed showcase 1.0.1 on my Touch HD with Sense 2.1 and WM 5.2.21876

Calling Showcase over the X Enhancement works well in all the applications but not on the Manila Home Screen. There is a problem with the new weather animations: The Showcase Window shows up only after the weather animation has been finished. This can take a half minute. :rolleyes:

It shows up in all the other manila tabs immediately and when I change the home wallpaper (weather animations get disabled) it shows up fast, too.

Hi folks,

i've installed 1.01 on 23504 WM 6.5.3 and i would like to know if is possible to bind the close-on tap to the 6.5.3 new-style X button located in the lower-right corner.

Thanks

EDIT: sorry, found the 1.1.0 for 6.5.x versions here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=4030903&postcount=3...works fine!!!

Need Help ... it looks like i´m too glad

I cook with 23091 and 28005. In my com2 builds sensor sdk4 works fine and all the apps are rotating.

Because auf changing the taskbar (i thing so) in the newer builds only the fullscreen apps are rotationg (opera/ie/album). I thought that i can "fix" the position with the 6.5.x fix or showcase suite. But all the classes are added dosn´t rotate. Hope somebody can give me a hint to solve this problem in the newer builds. Propaby showcase + fix isn´t the app that i´m searching.

tHANKS... I,ll try :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] vangrieg:
I feel incredibly stupid but for the life of me I can't figure how this thing works. I have installed 1.0.1b on my HD2 with 6.5 build 218xx, and it kind of works. "Kind of" means that I can only use the right-most button in the taskbar (which, by default, minimizes the current application). It does show all three buttons just like on screenshots, with an "X" in the middle and a menu icon on the left. But I just don't understand how to activate them. If I release my finger after activating Showcase's taskbar overlay, it disappears. When I hold my finger and move it left, nothing happens, and the rightmost button remains highlighted, so when I release it it just minimizes the application.

Also, after I installed Showcase and rebooted first time, I had an icon in the right top corner on Manila Home page. Now it's gone.

And finally, what does this mean???

I just can't understand this sentence no matter how I try.

Thanks in advance for any guidance any of you may provide!

Oh, and one more: What in the world is this "Win soft key" you all are talking about??? Is it the Start button? Or any of the two softkeys? Or is it the hardware Windows button?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nologin:
I encounter the exact same issue on my hd2, however this function works fine on my old Xperia X1, I can highlight the left most and middle button.

Any hd2 owners observe this issue using showcase?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] vangrieg:
I now have plenty of confirmations, it's an issue on HD2. What a shame, it's otherwise the most brilliant task manager application I've seen, and the idea is great.

Hope the author's absence is temporary, and it won't be abandoned...

aplication doesnt star on boot!

my problem is that this aplication just wont start on the boot so i have to run the suite myself... and then i got no problem but each time i reset my phone i need to do this.....

i think its because i installed it on the storage card.

1:06 going to installit again this time in the device internal memory.....

01:13 YES!! its working, dont know if any of you had this problem but i did and now its gone :)

im using 1.0.0 and it works great replacing the htc task mannager
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] butatx:
working well with my ks20, thanks

i have suggestion: will the window be more smaller like htc task manager (or bigger from htc task manager but not full screen), this will make showcase popup faster i think and more nice looking...

anyway very good task manager
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] vangrieg:
For goodness sake, if you don't want a fullscreen task manager, why don't you use one of the billion available ones, from HTC, Xperia or what not? Showcase is like the only normal one in that it's not a silly menu.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] butatx:
htc task manager doesn't working in ks20, and other task manager are not finger friendly enough from wktask, pbar, handy switcher, tman, magic button...i have try all of these task manager...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] barty22:
Try e-Natives Technology ShowcaseSuite-1.1.0.cab, it works perfectly on my HD2.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] vangrieg:
Hmm, I tried that. It didn't have the overlay at all, and it also moves Manila up a few pixels. How do you solve that?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] barty22:
Weird, there might be two reasons...

1) I'm running WWE Rom 1.48.something

2) Maybe it needs .NET 3.5
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] vangrieg:
That might solve the overlay problem, but shifting Manila up is a feature of 1.1.0 (read the whole "position fix" stuff), how do you get rid of that?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] barty22:
Hmm I didn't notice the Manila shift since I didn't soft reset after installation of Showcase :P After the softreset I saw what you mean...

However there's an easy fix. Use a reg editor:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\e-Natives Technology\Showcase]

"SUITE_NewTaskbarSize" to 52.

"SUITE_PositionFix_WinClasses" delete the value "Manila;RESCO_EXPLORER_CLASS", so this string will be empty.

Showcase runs without any problem on my HD2 :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] vangrieg:
Ha, that was an easy fix indeed - thanks so much!

However, I don't have the overlay and therefore can't close applications with it.

Worse even, it fails to launch sometimes. The "Start" in taskbar turns into "Showcase" and an X appears in the top right corner, but there's no Showcase window. I need to launch... Opera, then I get Opera and immediately after that Showcase appears right on top of it. Very weird.

Any ideas about how to solve this? And yes, I have .Net CF 3.5 installed.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] barty22:
No i have no idea, all I have is the 1.48 LEO rom, Showcase suite 1.1.0, my "shift" regfix, and .net 3.5 (with the "disable 2.0 enable 3.5" regfix)... don't even know whether .net is used by showcase btw.

And apart from that Showcase worked out of the box...

You mentioned weird things which I don't experience. Start never changes into showcase, X doesn't appear in right hand corner, and there is no showcase window in the right corner either. I launch it every time I want to use it, just like i want. Note that I had never used showcase before today, so I have no idea if it is supposed to behave differently than how it does right now for me. Also showcase doesn't appear on top of Opera after launch. In fact I never see anything of showcase unless i run it myself, which is fine for me...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] vangrieg:
It's not like it shows above Opera. And Start does change into Showcase when you launch Showcase. :) What I'm saying is that sometimes it fails to start completely, and finishes loading only after I launch Opera for whatever reason...

It seems from your description that the overlay thing doesn't work for you either, you just don't know what it is exactly because you never saw it working. :)

Anyway, thanks for your help!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] barty22:
ohhh lol, you mean Start changes into Showcase when you run showcase? Yea it does that, just like every other piece of software ;) and with overlay do you mean a function similar to Dutty's task manager where you can close or switch to running programs by clicking in the right top corner? In that case you're right, showcase doesn't do that for me.

But it always launches immediately, never with a lag or anything.

Good luck! :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] vangrieg:
Yep. The difference is that sometimes this change in the title bar and the X in the top right corner is the only thing I see from Showcase, while instead of the Showcase window I see whatever was visible before I tried to launch it (Manila, for example). It stays this way until I launch Opera. :eek:

Look at the screenshots on the first page. Do you see the top bar in Windows (where you have the battery indicator, clock and such nonsense) replaced with a strip with three buttons (an X, a back arrow, and a menu icon)? That is, I'm telling you, the best thing since sliced bread. The idea is that when you hit the X, this strip (bar, overlay) pops up, you slide your finger to do what you want to do with the application (minimize or close) or fire up Showcase. If you say it works for you than I'll haunt you until I figure out how in the world you achieved that. :)

"Dutty's" (HTC's, in fact) task manager is nowhere close in terms of usability. First of all, you can only launch it from home screen, so it's in no way a real multitasking aid. Secondly, it's a damned menu, and I'm tired of WM menus, they are worthless for a finger-oriented UI. Old Start Menu is gone - good riddance. No I need the menu based task managers to become a thing of the past as well. Finally, the overlay idea is much easier to use and more intuitive than holding the X to close an app. Not to mention that it allows you to launch your task manager from anywhere. Supposed to, I mean, since it doesn't work on HD2. :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] barty22:
Yea, I'm not a big fan of 'Dutty's' task manager either. The only thing I miss from *any* task manager is the ability to launch the task manager/the other running programs from anywhere.

For example I am in Word 2010, and I want to go to Opera Mobile, I have to close (or minimize it) with the X, and then in the "home" screen (Sense in the case of the HTC HD2) click/navigate to either Opera Mobile to open it again or by making use of a task manager (Showcase in my case). This takes time and many clicks!

The overlay 3-button strip indeed does not work for me, but even if it did it doesn't sound like the ultimate solution either. It *always* takes one extra click to do what you want, also in the case when you just want to go to your home screen. The ultimate thing imo would be have an extra icon in the upper task bar that when clicked, launches your task manager. That way it would be accessible all the time and anywhere (except in those full screen programs like opera mobile 10). For the hd2 it would be tricky though, since HTC customized the task bar and this, natively, does not allow to click on any of the taskbar items seperately.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] vangrieg:
Ah, you haven't tried that 3-button strip, it's much better than it seems. You don't need two taps. You press the X, hold and then slide your finger leftwards to launch the action you want. And the whole strip consists of three big buttons (each one is one third of the strip's width), even though they look smallish on the screenshots. So choosing between minimizing and closing is a snap. Launching the task manager is also easy.

BTW, what I did to launch Showcase from anywhere was mapping it to a hardware button.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] barty22:
mapping it to a hardware button - smart!

did you try the Showcase_X_WithOK_Button_09-07-15.zip for the 3button overlay? probably you did, just want to be sure...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] vangrieg:
That X thing is included in 1.0.1b, you get a link to it in \Windows\Startup. I can see it, it just doesn't work properly...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] barty22:
Crap, now you got me excited to try it as well :p

For WM6.5.X users who don't like to wait the task manager showed after long press of windows icon, have you try this registry :)

Great to see you back!

Looking forward to your next release. Programatix wrote Interceptor which has been included in the latest Energy and rRedux Roms, but I have a problem with spb Mobile Shell 3.5.1's 3D mail viewer when manila + interceptor and/or HTC Sense 2.5 are cooked into a rom.

Never had this problem when Showcase_X or Showcase_Suite was used.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] michaelthemage:
Hello!

I use the Christian Clean Rom 28004 currently and he has Showcase_x included in the rom. So, when I update to Showcase_suite, it installs perfectly, works perfectly... it REALLY Closes applications when clicking their X!

BUT, my email/sms apps get slow, nonresponsive and don't open / close anymore. Until I uninstall Showcase_Suite again.

I tested this now with other roms too, i.e. gtrabs pure rom. And he does not even have showcase_x installed!

I have Xperia X1i and wonder if anybody else has this email/sms problem. I'd like to resolve this because this showcase suite feature to actually CLOSE again as it was in win6.1, is super great! Also the class fix is great. But of course I need to still being able to email/sms too... ;)

Solution for the X button on HD2 (LEO)

I have the perfect solution for X button problem on HD2. To make the X button close the windows, you have got to install SPB POCKET PLUS and when it's done, you have to delete all of its components (from Settings) except the Close X Button component. When it's done, install the Showcase 1.1.0 and everything rungs perfecly smooth and fast. No freezing, no problem whatsoever....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SimonW500:
Confused - HD2

I tried to install this on my HD2 (1.48 ROM) and while I could launch it as an application, on reboot my device hung. 2nd reboot makes the device extremely sluggish.

Cannot seem to access Showcase other than through the program icon in the Start Menu - neither holding down the Windows softkey nor any amount of pressing on the X button (holding etc) seems to do anything.

To be sure I've just hard reset my device and installed JUST Showcase on it = exactly the same as above.

Any ideas? A shame as it seems a good utility and others here (strangely!) seem to have it working on their HD2.

???

(thanks in advance)

I suspect that Showcase conflicts with Manila 2.5 (aka Sense), and specifically with its animated Home screen.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mwalt2:
Works ok for me, though I'm only using showcase suite for the 'x' close ability and interceptor for sense 2.5.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] vangrieg:
You are using what for sense?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rmanaka:
Interceptor was written by programatix to:

Move Manila and CommManager to the correct position

Disable Gsensor Autorotate when Camera is detected and reenable it when Camera is closed

Resize Resco Explorer

can be found here.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] vangrieg:
Erm, I feel utterly stupid now. What does it all have to do with switching applications by means of a task manager (which is, I happen to believe, the purpose of Showcase is)? I've never seen Manila or CommManager in "incorrect" positions, don't use Gsensor, and have no clue why I would want to resize Resco Explorer. So how can that substitute Showcase?
