How to add 'New' Menu Functionality in WM05?

[marjon]

Hi

Does anybody know of an app to add the 'New' Menu functionality to WM05.
In 2003 and 2003SE you could tap on the word 'New' in the bottom left of the today screen and a menu would appear allowing you to select a new appointment, task etc.

Or if not a way of using the standard voice control app included with the O2 exec to start a new appointment/task in Pocket Informant.
I have tried selecting new appointment/Task from the list of apps and functions in the voice control screen but this only starts Pocket Informant in the relevent view but does not create a new appointment/task to start entering info into.

TIA.

You can do it with a WisbarAdvance plugin: WisbarDesktop.
You can assign a button (like a shortcut on the desktop) to do that.

Or Spb Pocket Plus.

After you installed it, there is a folder in the startmenu/programs where you can find a lot of shortcuts like [newcontact], [newappointment]...
After this you just need one launcher program.

Tried Spb Pocket Plus.

This just does the same as voice controller when selecting new appointment or task it starts Pocket Informant on the relevent view but does not actually open a new appointment or task.

So it looks like this might be an issue with Pocket Informant.

Guys, I've posted here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=204692#204692) about how to create new PIM items, eg on a softkey (and using my VJPhoneTools for new sms/email (http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=201634#201634) etc).

I'll have a much better solution at some point in the future too :)
Use smallmenu and you can have a startmenu > subfolder to do this quite easily.
