I have this problem:
I create shortcuts for my custom views for contacts in PI. The shortcuts work if I go in to file explorer and tap on them, but if I set them to a hardware button, they do not work.
PI told me the reason their custom links don't work with this:
from PI:
The issue is that hardware buttons do not execute the shortcut properly. It only launches the app, it does not pass any of the shortcut parameters. This is an issue with the OS and unfortunately at this time there is no solution.
We'd have to make PI actually write an signed EXE to make this work - which is technically impossible since signed apps must be signed by Verisign's private key which we obviously don't have.
I wish we could make this work for you, but unfortunately its a Windows Mobile limitation for which a real solution is not possible.
----------------------
The .lnk files are something like:
"\Program Files\WebIS\PocketInformant\PocketInformant.exe" -custom \Application Data\WebIS\CustomViews\Contact 1.007
I have to get these links signed? Not sure about this, but if I include the links and someone can/will sign them, will they work?
thanks.
