[APP][Updt 08/09/2009] DredSensor v1.3a - Allow you to personalize Hard Key Actions

[Dredger97]

================================================== =====================================
DredSensor v1.3a:
================================================== =====================================

Now DredSensor should be compatible with other device than HTC Touch Diamond.

Historically, if you have tried to play a game needing left and right key on an HTC Touch Diamond, you noticed that they are 2mm wide and if you click next to it, you get back to home page or to dialing menu etc...

So I've written a prog allowing you to lock these 4 keys actions and replace it by classical key event (VK_LEFT, VK_RIGHT, ...).
In that way you can play tetris, and use "Pick-Up" and "Hang-Up" keys for going left and right.

I extended it to let you configure each app independantly, and choose between four (five) mode:

• "HardKeySimul": replace the 4 keyz by classical key event
  
• "Launcher": allow you to quicklaunch 4 app (that you define in the config wnd) when you double tap (not click, just tap) on one of those 4 keyz
  
• "Scroll": allow you to scroll the current window by tapping those 4 keyz panel
  
• "KeySimul": allow you to send left/right/up/down events by tapping those 4 keyz panel
  
• "--- Disabled ---": Disable specific HTC Touch Diamond Sensor functionalities.

Now, i've added an alternative Key Mapping, that let you map an action (or another key) on normal click and long click event on any other key that the up-described four.
So if you don't have an HTC Touch Diamond, the only mode you can choose is "--- Disabled ---" but you can define "other key mapping".


Link ->: DredSensor-v1.3a

To use it, you need:
1) A Windows Mobile SmartPhone
2) Install the .cab
3) Reboot your SmartPhone
4) Run a game (or app or ...)
5) Get your stylus out and back-in, in less than 1 second
6) Click "Yes"

----- A config window opens:

7) Choose the Type you want.
8) Reassign the actions to the events, if needed.
9) Assign "other key mapping", if needed.
10) Click "Ok"

Other Key Mapping:
To add a key mapping, a popup opens and ask you to press a key.
If you want to assign an action to normal clic, just clic on the choosen key.
If you want to assign an action to long clic, clic more thant 1 sec on the choosen key.
Then you have to choose the action, and it's done.

If you only assign an action to a long clic on a key, a short clic on this key should work transparently.


Have fun.

Version history:
================================================== ========================================

New features in v1.3a:
=====================

• Added an alternative key mapping that Should be compatible with any Windows Mobile device.
• Added the "KeepAlive" option. Check this if you want DredSensor to prevent the smartphone to sleep when this application is loaded.
• Added possibility to Enable/Disable DredSensor:
  Exemple of C++ code to do this:
  
  #define WM_DREDSENSOR_START WM_USER+22
  #define WM_DREDSENSOR_STOP WM_USER+23
  
  Disable:
  HWND m_hDredSensorWnd=FindWindow(_T("DredSensorWnd"),NU LL);
  if(m_hDredSensorWnd!=NULL)
  SendMessage(m_hDredSensorWnd,WM_DREDSENSOR_STOP,0, 0);
  
  Enable:
  if(m_hDredSensorWnd!=NULL)
  SendMessage(m_hDredSensorWnd,WM_DREDSENSOR_START,0 ,0);
  

New features in v1.2g:
=====================

• Fixes a few bugs
• Fix the bug in config window when loading prog list
• Added a debug mode:
  ================
  For activating it, just launch DredSensorDebug.exe (in /Program Files/DredSensor).
  First it will tell you if DredSensor is running or not.
  If it's running, it will activate/deactivate the debug mode so you will find a log in /Program Files/DredSensor/Log
  
  If you have trouble with DredSensor:
  • Restart your HTC
  • Launch DredSensorDebug (to activate log)

I suggest you stop making a new thread for every new version and instead update your original thread and post that you've updated it.

After installing and lunch program .... i cannot see any of EVENTS on Events tab. Windows "wait gif" is rolling all the time and nothing happen :/ (i talk about mapping under HardKeySimul

That's what i wanted to do but i didn't found a way to update the post title...
Is there one?

[torpie13]

thanx for the update I'll try it and report

[antlane]

Thanks for the new version! And thanks for adding the OK button command!

Seems to be working better than the last version although pressing the back key (which I have mapped to click right) a few times in quick succession does seem to send a back command. Pressing the home key in quick succession doesn't have this problem.

Also, I can't get the scroll wheel to work despite leaving the "Block scrolling wheel" box unchecked. Am I doing something wrong?

Hmm.. For the scrolling wheel, i use a tricky solution that works on my HTC touch diamond. May be it doesn't work on your model or on your rom version...

If someone have an idea on how to send a "ZoomIn" or "ZoomOut" event to a window (or how to develop an application that catch ZoomIn and ZoomOut events), that would help a lot...

As far as i studied the problem, it seems that ZoomIn and ZoomOut events are equal to Up and Down keys, but comming from a "rocker" .. so I can send those Up/Down key events, but no idea of how to tell that this comes from a "rocker" (and i don't even have an idea of what a "rocker" is...)

Help?

[ldrn]

Wow, this is great! I am still loving the ability to remap my home key (and the others), and I really like the new scroll wheel feature. Actually, for me, instead of zooming in some apps, it now seems to scroll just about everywhere -- which is perfect, I like that more anyway.

Is there any way to donate or buy you a cup of coffee? I'd like to as a thank-you.

What an absolutely brilliant program!

Thank you very much Dredger97!
