Is there any chance whatsoever for this application to become a normal window instead of a menu? I completely fail to understand why people decide that task managers have to occupy 5/6 of the screen width instead of the whole screen...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scottspa74:
clear history...

Anyone know how to clear items out of history tab? I still haven't seen a reply about that. Also, even though I have 'Apply Today Skin' checked, it only uses today skin the first time I open it after a soft reset - any suggestions? is that normal? after 1st use, it just uses plain white or dark gray skin.

Did I miss something in earlier post? It said you can minimize or close an app using the small icons on topbar? Is that right? if so, I haven't figured out how. From what I see, I have to drag a hook to open xtask, THEN hit X to close. I do wish for a setting that allows to close OR minimize from X, (instead of one setting [close OR minimize on X] to apply to all X use), Like by differentiating with long press/short press or something (similar to Showcases' tap to minimize, tap-slide-right to close.

If I'm just missing something, someone please let me know. But, clear history? And Apply Today skin issue?

I'm using 2.17 beta2, if I remember right.

Sprint stock ROM...

I'm on Sprint stock rom (A pretty old one, really). Works like a charm. ; )
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nextpimp:
Today skin... Idk, I didnt have the issue in my last rom. But i have the issue in this version of my rom. I had a kitchen crash, rebuilt and now have the today skin issue. Ill figure it out. Gotta have something to do with St_water format.

To Minimize... just tap on the icon in the taskbar, If you want to close app B while in app A, Tap on the icon you wnat to close and start a hook from it. (Example given in my second pic... post#103)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scottspa74:
hmmmmm. Interesting, cuz I actually tried that before posting. If I drag a short hook from icon, it just open Xtask. If I drag a long hook from icon, it freezes my phone and have to soft reset. Thanks for reply, though. and best wishes on your skin also ; )
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chinagb:
2.18beta3 more perfect, thank all users
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dunggiacat:
sometimes, i can't quit running program

Thank ChinaGB for the programs. The new version of xhook run better than the previous, but sometimes when i tap x/close button, it minimize the program instead of closing. Can you fix it ? (WM6.5)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] soma900:
I use 2.18b3, X button close windows all the time.

Can you be more specific? Which version and which window has the problem?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] siealex:
The start menu is cool, but it is NOT SORTED! Is it possible to sort this menu (and also all file manager lists) alphabetically?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scottspa74:
still in 2.18b3...

some same issues as before. 1) can't close app B from app A (as stated in earlier post, a short hook from icon just opens xtask, and a long hook down from icon freezes my phone). 2) Apply Today Skin doesn't work (background just white or dark grey).

Finally, I CAN remove programs in history tab (just long press on progam and it removes from history). That did not work in previous version I was using. Wondering if I did not uninstall/reinstall properly; I just swapped the 2 old files out with 2 new ones, didn't delete xt.rbt. that matter?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dunggiacat:
version 2.18b3. Sometimes, the problem happen when i use calendar, caculator, text message. In that case, i must restart the program then tap X/close to quit it
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] siealex:
Calendar and Messaging have TWO windows, so you must close them TWO times.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Alex-V:
the position fix is very good...only one problem with call history...it´s correcting the call history only half...the buttons for missed call outgoing....calls are not fixed....it must be another win class name...the normal call history is MSClog.....and the buttons...??

Thanks for anwers :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] soma900:
It is true. Some programs has more than 2 pages. Chinagb did not implement automatic searching for window-page classes because "it makes the program run sluggish". In this case you might have to go back to the first page of the program then tap on X/OK to close it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] gpietron:
Great app - 1 improvement strongly recommended

Hi,

I'm testing this app for a few days - it requires some customizations to your likes, so took me 3 trials to get convinced to it :-). Some features may seem awkward initially, but then you realize they're quite, or very, handy indeed.

However, as already mentioned by somebody in this thread, it would be much more convenient to have app icons in the taskbar aligned to the left (in place of, or just after, Start button - according to your settings).

As notifications appear from the right side, this would allow avoiding conflicts until several apps are launched and notifications received.

Any chance of such upgrade?

brgds,
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] soma900:
I guess you have a bigger screen. For QVGA it is really difficult to negotiate a unique space for the X icon in the title bar, especially in wm6.5. As it is showed in screen shot. So I more prefer to use it icon less, just tap on the hidden icon space and drag it to activate the xTask.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scottspa74:
download link...

I'm having trouble downloading the new beta. Right after download begins, I get an alarm about, "there is no application associated with...". see screenshot. any ideas? thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] BlackRocks:
Hello scottspa74,

may be there's no program on you PDA to handle 7-zip-archives?

I think you have to unpack the file on your PC and copy the files to your PDA.

2.18b4: file manager lists are sorted properly, but the start menu is sorted BACKWARDS!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] gpietron:
Yes, HD2, GREAT hardware :-) !!!

While it might be recommended/preferable to go icon-less for QVGA, it'd be recommended/preferable to list running apps' icons left-to-right for WVGA - to avoid conflicts with notifications.

The main benefit is ability to see instantly which apps are running, without need for ANY actions.

So, once again, could it be done :-) ?

thanks in advance ...

When I enable icon, I will see a white box on taskbar, which is the Today Screen. Is it possible to hide just this icon?

Thanks for the great task manager.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] noellenchris:
anyone having issues running Garmin XT or Copilot with xhook running? I running 2.18b4. If I exit xhook, Copilot will work, but Garmin won't? Should I run the exe version instead of the dll? Any ideas? Thanks. Otherwise I love the taskmanager! great progress!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] soma900:
In V2.17beta2 added autofix topbar but not working with Garmin. Could this be your problem?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] noellenchris:
Thanks, but I'm not using any of the autofix for position. I noticed issues with previous version xhook when using the show applications. I'm going to uninstall and try the exe version, not sure of all the differences between dll and exe other than size.....:confused:

EDIT: GARMIN WON'T WORK WITH EITHER DLL OR EXE :( / COPILOT EITHER. Copilot will work if I close xhook, garmin won't :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] siealex:
Is it possible to make the background under the taskbar icons OPAQUE? Or draw an image under each icon...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] noellenchris:
Is there a way to add an exception for the incompatable programs if I can't run them to select to add an exception?

EDIT: fixed Copilot, I think my Garmin cab is corrupt. Also the position fix for my manila Sense rom was using the showcase position fix which seemed to mess up the Copilot. Hopefully I can fix the Garmin.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zard:
I'm using the 2.18b4 version.

Have the following suggestions:

1. Instead of a white icon representing Today screen, can put an icon for it?

2. Can you have a white or black background when "xHook Items" is launched?

3. Can you move the six items for "xHook Items" closer to the top?

Thank you.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cyanide911:
Unbelievable program. EXCELLENT work on this. A few things I'd like to point out

The transparancy in the task manager is sloppy. I have to wait a second or two to have it become transparent, otherwise it's the previous frame dragging.

Difficult to describe, I'll post a screenshot later.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hahahh:
so great program,,thx
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TommyBeretta:
Very nice Program, almost all i want :)

But i was wondering what the "RealTime 6.5.3" (in xHook Setting)Checkbox is for ?!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Farmer Ted:
I'm pretty sure everyone knows what you're talking about. It drags the frame upwards when you scroll down. That seems like it could be one of those things that could be hard to fix and wouldn't improve the functionality a whit. I'd say put it to the backburner.

Stuff I'd like: I'd like to see a virtual memory read-out for each of the process slots (0-32). Shap's advanced task manager has a read-out for slot 0, but all it really tells you is how much VM is being used by the task manager, since it's the active process when you're looking at it. It would be really cool to have a task manager that would let you observe the other slots (maybe just one at a time; it would probably be really slow to see them all at once).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scottspa74:
but...

I have IA Zip and it has worked on all other zips I've used. Also I have pocketRAR (I downloaded it so I could download and install xHook and xTask because my zip program wouldn't handle/read RAR files). So I've been able to DL and unpack/extract/install previous versions of xHook/xTask. I just can't seem to get the newest version. Any other ideas, or does it still seem likely it's a file type my pda can't can't utilize?

thanks in advance, anybody.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scottspa74:
just tried 2.8beta4...

I did get it installed (using PocketRAR, as with other versions) my phone was glitching the other night, and the file extension on the DL site was .7z, not .rar. All good now... EXCEPT... the top bar of Xtask (where it says 'History, shortcuts, File Man' etc has some wierd background and I can barely make out the letters of the tabs on top. Anyone else experiencing this? I used the DL for the .exe, not the .dll. any ideas? think I'll revert back to beta3 if this persists....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] siealex:
2.18b7: where is the [!] button for enhanced editing? In 2.18b4 it worked well, but in b7 I can't find it...

Adding. I have found it: tapnhold on the topbar. But I use tapnholds on X to close apps via another program. Is it possible to restore the ! button in the text field?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] gpietron:
YES !!!! v8 adds the option of running app icons aligned in the taskbar to the left or right. GREAT!

There are also some other options added, time to test :-).

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sillysquid:
Not sure if this helps but ...

If you bring up the menu then 'other' > 'setting' > 'options' (button bottom left of screen) > 'Exceptions PosFix'

There is a box called 'FixWindowClass'

Downloaded from post 1 and it showed beta 9 instead of beta 8! :-)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zard:
Beta 9 improvements are very good.

Suggestions:

1. x-Hook: When a few tasks are opened on the taskbar and focus is on an application, say Resco Explorer, the taskbar icons are difficult to see because the background is the words Explorer.

2. x-Hook is running, I click on white icon on task bar and click on Taskman. This I did a few times and now I have several instances of Today screen open. I tried to click on "x" for each of them but nothing happens. Had to SR.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zard:
Noticed that "Mobilepad" icon doesn't show on Taskbar when open, unlike Resco Explorer.

2.18RC1: what's new???
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dande:
Very nice application.

Thank you for your nice work.

I have a suggestion can you please add an option to delete application names from the task bar so someone can see the icons only?

Now it's a mixture from Ram indication (which I like) and icons and application names if the are long.

By deleteting application names will leave space so icon will not appear under the ram indication as well

Ideal, would be options to hide application names, control Ram indication position, and icon positions.

Thank you very much. Good work!

Difference between dll and exe version?

Hello :-)

Sorry, may be I overlooked the adequate post, but I've one question.

On the first page there are two different downloads.

What's the difference between these versions and what's the reason to use either dll or exe version?

Thanks and best regards
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dande:
@BlackRocks

You can use xHook with the dll stand alone or

together with xTask second link.

They share the same dll though.

If you use both you wil have three files.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dande:
Last version problem

With the last update version I have problem.

What I did is I deleted the old files and change the with the new (but I didn't delete registry keys and XT.REB though) but when I launch wireless manager and I try to close it freeze the screen and Hw keys.

It might take one minute or so and it closes in the end.

Sometimes "start" stops working and needs SR.

I change back to previous version and everything work fine again.

It might be that I did not delete the registry and xt.reb??

Or a bug.

My device is Omnia II with WM 6.5.3

Thank you I wait your reply.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] siealex:
BUGS in Start menu...

1. The menu is sorted BACKWARDS!

2. 2.18b9+, not b8. I can't access shortcuts in the sub-folders of the menu, e.g. Programs\Games\Dogz.lnk. I press Games and see an empty folder.

3. !!!. If I open the corresponding folder in FileMan, it works correctly.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] siealex:
4. Scrolling in b9+ is VERY slow and buggish...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] soma900:
You canNOT use all three files together.

You can use either,

xHook.dll with xTask.exe, which is the first link,

or,

xHook.exe with xTask.exe, which is the second link.

Chinagb created the dll version because some program, e.g. SPB Backup, terminate the xHook.exe and cause PDA to freeze. While the dll is surposed to avoid the problem. And dll version use less memory than the exe.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dande:
soma900,

thanks for the info. Now it's clear.

I tried reinstalling correctly this time the new version (deleting registry etc) but I have the same issues as before.

There are some application wireless manager in my case which does not close it and it freezes.

After a minute it unfreezes and continues again.

I went back to the old and again everything works fine.

I use the one with dll btw.

Thank you
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] soma900:

Hi Soma900 (Chinagb)

Here is my wireless manager app.

It does work correctly on previous version though.

I have added some suggestion above e.g to delete application names from the task bar in order to apps icons and ram show up correctly and clearly.

Thank you very much.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dande:
It's all in the first page.

But just to be a little more helpful.

Go to the folder where you have placed Xtask.exw click on it select "!!"

then select "Other" from the list and "Setting".

Unflag AutoRun xHook and click on ExitxHook and ok

Now delete all files and delete registry [\HKLM\SOFTWARE\XTASK\] and all values.

You are ready!

Hi,

I may have found a small bug,I'm using the latest version XTASK 2.18RC1

If I have 'close activesync Automatically' it seems to have started killing it even when connected to the computer so I can't get a connection (It's worked fine on previous versions).

If I turn this setting off it connects fine.

Also if I have Alpha effects turned on it seems to give me graphics glitches on the top scrolling menus.

Other than that a top piece of software :)

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] soma900:

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dande:
It's wonderful! It works fine!

But there is a small issue when starting an application I can see the title of the application moving from the left side to the right of the taskbar and in the end I can still see it.

Look at the screenshot attached of "Start" title.

Please fix it that. It should completely disappears and even better that moving is not visible.

Other than that it's perfect.

Thank you very much.

Just a couple of issues/ questions ...

1. I'm using Resco Explorer 2010 with the latest XTask 2.18RC3. Resco seem to have fixed the positioning issue but I am now unable to turn off the posfix feature in XTask.

This results in an additional band of empty space at the bottom of the screen (as the attached image).

I have tried both deleting the text in the 'FixWindowClass' and turning off 'PosFix WM 6.5.3'

2. The XHook taskbar icon remains active even when the screenlock is on (the other taskbar icons are locked)

Thanks in advance for any assistance ...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] soma900:
I do not have the problem you had. But how about try a clean install:

Quit xhook.

Delete XT.REB.

Delete xtask registry items.

Start Xtask.

Setup, deleting the WindowClass to fix and turning off 'PosFix WM 6.5.3'.

Exit and save settings.

Restart your PDA and try Resco Explore.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sillysquid:
Thanks for your help soma900

Just a bit of feedback on my display issue (Turns out its nothing to do with XTask)

I did what you suggested and tested Resco before reinstalling but I still had the same problem, I then thought it might have been a problem with Resco Explorer 2010.

Seems hard to believe but Resco Explorer 2010 seems to have problems on WVGA devices!

To make things even better: internet sharing is handled via IntShr.exe/IntShrUI.exe.

did you already try deleting the whole relationship on the active sync?

if not, perhaps you should do so and create a new one.

it's not about the relationship. the error is on the leo itself, it doesnt even expose an activesync device, always a "windows mobile internet sharing device"
