Registry Key for "AutoRotate" setting?

[melvynadam]

Can someone please help me tweak the setting which makes the screen rotate from landscape to portrait when the screen gets slid back over the keyboard.
I have a hardware button mapped to rotate the screen. I often use the unit in landscape and when doing so I occasionally want access to the keyboard. So I slide the screen up, type whatever I want to type, then slide it back. It's very annoying that doing so forces the screen back to portrait.
The behaviour I want is this:

1. [When in portrait] sliding open causes rotation to landscape.
2. [When in landscape] sliding open changes nothing.
3. [When in landscape] sliding closed changes nothing (currently it causes rotation to portrait).

1 & 2 are the default behaviours. Is it possible to keep them and add 3?

I think I have stumbled accross a solution to your problem.
I use VJOkButt from www.vijay.com mapped to the top right hardware button. This closes rather than minimses the currnet app when pressed. Anyway to achieve your option 3 all I do is Press the camera hardware button, this switches you to Landscape. If you click on the X to close the camera app the screen returns to portrait but if you press the hardware button mapped to VJOkButt the camera closes but the screen remains in landscape. Best of all opening or closing the keyboard does not change screen orientation. You can still manually change orientation back to Portrait from Settings>Screen. Soft reset will return to original functionality e.g. slide the keyboard to change orientation.
Hope this works for you.

Guys, anyone using VJOkButt should upgrade to this version, v0.73:
http://www.vijay555.com/vj/Releases/...t/VJOkButt.exe

I introduced a memory leak in 0.72 and tracked it down this lunch time. I haven't cabbed this up yet, because I'm still testing, but it should be more reliable (long term) then 0.72 which is available on my site at the moment.

Also one bug - I've made the window closing slightly too severe, so occassionally it will close a small dialog AND it's parent. This is only in isolated circumstances, but I'll fix this ASAP.

Sorry mate I'm having a typo day today
www.vijay555.com it is.
Thanks for your hard work.
I appreciate the effort you you put in to improving life for the PDAphone community. Programming is a dark art to me but I would love to learn. I used to break out in a sweat just with simple dos scripts.
