- I Created a shortcut "mousemode.lnk" into \windows\start\programs
- I edited the shortcut mousemode.lnk as below : "\windows\mousemode.exe" SETMOUSEMODE

This work just perfect for me ... and another thing what I have done, its I bind the button to activate it .. and its works aswell ... :cool:

[xaoc]

Yep this way is working nise .. i also binded the link to HW button ..

[Horatius]

So, if I understud it well, I have to bind to a hardware button. It doesn´t work just like a icon ???

[wodeh]

Worked a treat for me as a shortcut, no go bound to a hardware button though- still my hardware buttons are precious, my precious, they are reserved for the greatest of the great functions - it's easy enough to hit the start key and select mouse mode!

Thanks for another great tip!

On my device both of options working fine ... I don`t know what is wrong... Where are you chenging icon path? And how ... can you show step by step what are you doing, it'`s will easy to understand for us.

Cheers ... :cool:

So ... I´m using Totalcmd for ppc v 2.0
1. step I made the shortcut in My documents from mousemode.exe founded in windows directory
2. Clicked on shortcut - properties and changing the
\windows\mousemode.exe
to "\windows\mousemode.exe" SETMOUSEMODE than OK
3. Adding item in SPB ppc plus, I added this maded shortcut.

And it work not ...

I tried this registry change i can´t remember where was it directly. I used the PHM registry editor. This worked not too. So what did I do bad. I did everithing step by step as wroted somewhere here on forum ...

[Horatius]

I found the problem ....
I don´t why but this totalcmd for pocket made this
from "\windows\mousemode.exe" SETMOUSEMODE
this \windows\mousemode.exe" SETMOUSEMODE"
I change it on Desktop PC and replaced it on PPC and it works now well ...

[Horatius]

I have just an one question, do you know how to change size of this mouse cursor ??? It´s so big ... :D

[wodeh]

I agree, it may be a pretty standard cursor file so it could be possible, a desktop sized cursor on a mobile device seems insane! I'm not sure I'd know where to begin modding it though.

I tried this step but everytime i tap the icon on windows\start menu\programs
(icon with link ..windows\mousemode.exe" SETMOUSEMODE) It open me a mouse mode enable page.. rather than automatic on and off the mouse mode..

It is possbile to make is auto just click.. on and off.

Please advise thanks

[Horatius]

Back to this shortcut ... it work for me just as a shortcut in start menu. I copied it to \windows\startmenu\Programs .. When I attached it to hardware button it didn´t work ... but I´m happy with this start menu solution too... because I can now turn of this HTC Home today plugin :D

When You read all reply then you find where was problem with this shortcut when you made it in ppc totalcmd. The totalcmd put the first comma to the end of line and this was the problem as I wrote it in previous reply (#8)

Now i'm work fine with Startmenu\ programs
still cannot work with Hardware button,

what i can do is using programs call "Hotbutton plus" and this help me to re map the Hardware button be able to use turn on / off the mouse mode by pressing HW button, with out enter the Mouse mode setting menu.

Simply use Total commander and browse to the MouseMode.exe shortcut you created earlier with your highlight (don't tap on it). There is a green icon on the bottom of screen. Click it and start editting the shortcut. Save and exit total commander. Remember the soft-resets after registry editings. Enjoy :p

[prodvagon]

Thanks, victoradjei :)
Will do.

It is possible to switch the mouse on/off through a hardware button, however it does not work by linking a shortcut to that button. You don't need any extra program either, all it takes is a little tweaking in the registry.

This is an example of how to use the camera button for turning the mouse on/off (personally I don't use the camera), but of course you can use another key as well:
Open the registry and go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Shell/Keys/40C5/
There you will see some keys, of which Default is one of them. Open Default and change whatever is there to
"\windows\mousemode.exe" SETMOUSEMODE
Close the registry and you're done.

If you want another key, it is the same procedure, but replace the '5' in the above description (40C5) by another number.

You guys are talking over my head. All I did was install new menu, fond on this forum and create a shortcut from there. I press the right soft key select "mouse" select enable mouse mode.
New menu is a very useful app for loads of other stuff aswel, you all should have it.

Hi!

I don't think the Trinity has the appropriate hardware, as it only has a standard 5-way d-pad. The Artemis has a trackball which work together with the mouse software.
