IDEA TO SOLVE REC AND CAMERA BOTTON

[BUDDZ]

i browes the registry of the wm2k5 in XDA2 O2, i figured out that that there is no registry for the camera and record button,. can we add up reg for camera and rec button

[jondextan]

so can we? can we?

[buzz_lightyear]

those key's registry are there.
hklm\software\microsoft\shell\keys

and those shortcuts are pointing to RAI assignments.

it would be better to write an application, which will unmap rec and cam buttons from system and remap them to itself... so if you press that button, this app will capture keypress event and will run camera or notes...

Hi,

So have you tried with RegisterHotkey API? Here is a simple application that reregisters all hardware buttons to its window, and if you press hardware buttons a messagebox should pop up with hardware key id. Anybody can try it with non working buttons? ( I haven't upgraded my device yet ) I tried it on my wm2k3SE device and with Win Mobile 5 emulator in Viusal Studio 2005. ( It worked )
If it's working then I think it is possible to write an application as background process to start camera and notes application with windows API. If it's not working and doesn't show anything if you press CAM/REC, then it must be a driver issue :((


I would like to thanks buzz for hiz extremely good work!!
I am sad now because of this ms guy :(

It works great on my Himalaya with WM5 1.60a installed. But even without this sw my Himalaya dont have any problem with the Record and camera buttons. Try it.

I use this basically to:
- Unmap all the buttons including the Green and Red Button, and the Volume slider.
- Remap the Volume Slider to Up and Down keys.
- Remap the Green and Red Buttons as Left and Right Softkeys. This way you can access WM5 apps soft menu using only the buttons and the biderectional pad.
- Any other key you can map to anything you want.

because some device have problem with this two buttons and with or without this software they still dont work
