Hey all!

I'm running an HTC touch pro with wm6.1. I'm not using HTC or sprints native interface but SPB pocket plus.

How would I go about making a shortcut that launches the same utility I launch when I go to start/programs?

Which is to say the utility that shows programs in rows of three with icons.

Also how would I do the same thing for the utility launched by start/settings

and maybe most importantly,

How would I make a shortcut to the utility that I can launch by going

phone-menu (softkey)-call history?

If anyone can answer any of these questions, I'd be extremely grateful.

Thanks

Some more digging has yielded:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3478455
:MSClog 'Call history'
:MSSETTINGS 'Settings Dialog'
and it seems that there are some parameters that can be passed to :EXPLORE that makes it behave like the programs folder.

I'm not able to turn these into shortcuts though. Maybe it's not possible, but if it is that would be the ideal way.

In the absence of the ideal solution, it turns out that mortscript can send mouse clicks to the screen.

Mortscript (http://www.sto-helit.de/index.php?module=download&action=view&entry=65)

# call log.mscr
mouseclick (75,25)
sleep 200
mouseclick (75,285)
sleep 200
# where /start/phone is
mouseclick (385,615)
sleep 200
mouseclick (235,200)
# /start programs is 335
# /start settings is 380

This works for my screen as of right now, and only in portrait. I'm sure a more complex program can be written. If anything pops out as subject to improvement, please anyone help improve this.

So for the moment I have icons that launch the programs I want, and we'll see if time brings anything better.
