Can Someone Create a "Select All" option???

[bigedmiami]

hello
i am running a 8125 with the 2.17 ROM, could one of you absolute briliant developers out there let me know if there is a way to create a "Select All" option in the menu? basically when i am clearing my e-mail account out, say i have 30 e-mails there i have to manually select ALL the e-mails then "Delete" is there any way to create the "Select All" so i can press the "Menu" button then "Select All" then "Delete" ????
please help
thanks in advance

I think it's already been released. A guy found relevant code exampled in the SDK and compiled it. Try searching a bit more with relevant terms. I can't remember the poster I'm afraid.

Here. Never tried it myself but it is suppose to add the options.

Doesn't work for me (XDA Mini S)

good old windows shortcuts like ctrl+A also works on pda's
same with ctrl+c +v +x +z
you name it

[matheprat]

Umm...hold the stylus down and drag?

[ady]

ctrl + A is what I use on my exec. I've tried and it doesn't work on my side as well probably due to incompatibility with WM5 or something

[bigedmiami]

thanks for all the replies. i am already holding the stylus and dragging, but i am trying to find a more 1 handed solution. "Menu" "Select all" "delete" 1 handed quick and painless. still lookimg and any suggestions are appreciated
thanks again

[Rudegar]

well ctrl +A would be a much quicker way then hold and tab

I use Menu>Tools>Clear "Account Name" it deletes everything I think even the sent items. This can be done one handed with softkeys/dpad.

[Webreaper]

That's fine, but I want to keep the sent items....

i have tried that and i find that if it "Clear" the account all the messages download again when the unit "send/receives" i posted about this a while back but got no replies. as far as "ctrl A" i would need to open the keypad to do this and i dont see how this can be less work than dragging all the messages with my finger (which is what i am doing now)
thanks again

This adds the option "mark all as read" and "delete all" to your menu.

This adds the option "mark all as read" and "delete all" to your menu.

Edit:

Just delete the ".zip" extension from the file name and install directly from your ppc.

i also tried to unzip on my PC and get an error as well?

No unzip .......... it cancels exclusively ".zip"= markallasread.CAB

[bigedmiami]

it is saving as a "zip" file the name shows .cab.zip and it wont rename?? i tried "Open With" .cab file and it still defaults to unzip??
any suggestions?
thanks

[Rudegar]

all files will rename
if explore in windows dont want to
then use a better file browser like
total commander
you can get it free for both pc and pda

[bigedmiami]

yes i understand, i can "rename" the file but the properties show as a "zip" file see the attached screenshot

[bigedmiami]

OK
that did not work??
the error reads

"The central directory was not found in the archive (or you were trying to open a disk other than the last disk of a multi-disk archive.)"

[Webreaper]

I've installed that CAB and it works absolutely perfectly. Superb tweak - thanks very much. :)

For those having problems installing, just ignore the fact it's called .zip - rename it to remove the .zip extension, and then install as normal. Works like a dream.

[bigedmiami]

FINALLY!!!!!!!!!
got it to work, this might even be a better cab than what i asked for
THANK YOU!!!
