Close button???

[tad2]

Hi,

Does anyone know how to make applications close when you press the "OK" HARDWARE key? I've tried Switch, Magic Button and SPB. Each closes applications when I use the stylus to tap on the "x" or "ok" button on the screen, but only minimize apps when I press the "ok" hardware button.

(IMHO, it's rather silly of Microsoft and HTC not to make this possible by default. Especially as the call-end hardware button already does the job of minimizing applications and returning you to the today screen...)

Please advise.

Thanks.

I've been using the HTC Close Button cab on my Orbit.
Its a small app that really close the progs with the "X".
And this works very good!!

I use AE button plus (google) which allows me to map such functions to whatever button I choose.
The unregistered version is all that is needed.

Coolgadget, thanksfor the cab, but I'm afraid it hasn't helped. It is behaving exactly as the oters did. Yes, it closes applications when you tap on the "X" on the screen, but it only minimizes the app when you press the "ok" HARDWARE button (emphasis on hardware, not on-screen). Could I be doing something wrong? :(

What I want is a way to actually close applications by pressing a hardware key (helps one handed operation when on the move).

Any idea, anyone? :confused:

Uniqueboy, I just downloaded AE button, I'll let you know how it goes. From the literature, I think it might be the answer...

Thanks.
