Screen Rotation Icon - How to enable it ?

[a18041967]

Is it possible to enable the screen rotation icon similar to the one on the Universal. I've tried the following:-

The setting is at 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\ROTATION'
The 'HideOrientationUI' DWORD value can be set to '1' to hide the icon or '0' to show the icon
For example, to hide the screen rotation icon
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\ROTATION\HideOrienta tionUI = 1

Any other ideas?

Cheers

so......did you do that on the Wizard ? Did it work ?

There's no "HideOrientationUI" value!

Made a little more progress, and now about 90% sorted, I've duplicated the \services\ScreenRotate registry settings from my Exec, initially the icon didn't appear. Then I noticed that there's two ScreenRotate_Service.dll files in the Windows directory on the Exec that do not exist on the Wizard. I've copied these across, and reset the unit, I now have the icon and it nearly works. It switches the screen from portrait to landscape, but does not switch back to portrait, I have to select the system\display option as normal to switch back.....

I do not know if this helps but I do this via SPB Pocket Plus. Add an icon from the 'System' drop down menu ... options are 'rotate left' and 'rotate right'.

Hope that this helps.

Hi, can you please attach the registry file with just those strings in that are required, and the DLLs so others can benefit from this please.

Did you get it working 100% in the end?
