Pocket PC Forum / End Users / SmartPhones / August 2006Doubleclick instead of singleclick
Is it possible to switch from single- to doubleclick when launching applications from the today screen? Everytime I make a phonecall my ear triggers all sorts of applications, especially when I squeeze the device between ear an shoulder to keep my hands free. TIA Assuming you have the unit set to not power up on screen taps, as soon as you answer or place a call, press the power button to "turn the unit off" The ppc side will go to sleep but the phone will continue to work... pressing either of the phone buttons will "wake" the unit up if you need it but the screen and other buttons will not respond to presses. Beverly Howard [MS MVP-Mobile Devices] Thanks for the hint, takes some training but I'll get used to it; so i guess double clicking will not be available in windows mobile? > Assuming you have the unit set to not power up on screen taps, as soon as > you answer or place a call, press the power button to "turn the unit off" [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > Beverly Howard [MS MVP-Mobile Devices] tapping is the general equivalent of double clicking but think you want to make it harder to activate screen actions... imho, in the long term, that would not be desirable. In addition there are a huge number of screens that could be up during a call. fwiw, tap/hold is the equivalent of right-clicking Beverly Howard [MS MVP-Mobile Devices] Thanks for your reply! Would it then be possible to modify the "today" screen (registry key?) so that no touchscreen inputs are accepted, only hardway key inputs? This would solve my problem and also some other isses like lauching programs while mp3 playback when you carry the device in your pocket. This however should only affect the today screen, the touchscreen should funktion normally in all other applications. For me the touchscreen funktionality on the today screen is not so important because there are enough hotkeys to launch everything i want, plus the navigation keys with which i could browse through the menus.

You can "approach" this goal by simply creating a blank html page and running that... doing so would effectively turn off any screen response except the bottom row and top right... the Today settings can be changed to keep the today screen from coming up after a delay. You can also write or commission a simple app which would do the same and stay in place until a specific hardware key is pressed. Beverly Howard [MS MVP-Mobile Devices] Thanks, I''ll look into that. > >> Would it then be possible to modify the "today" screen (registry > key?) so that no touchscreen inputs are accepted << [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > Beverly Howard [MS MVP-Mobile Devices] |
