[APP] NoStylusWarning (some warning when stylus is probably lost) - 2nd release

[kzd76]

Hi All,

Unfortunately I lost the original 2 stylus. Don't ask me how, but they were disappeared somehow. So based on an idea from someone on a Hungarian Touch HD forum I wrote a small and very simple application called NoStylusWarning. It is simply monitoring the stylus state and if you set up some warning then it can put a notification onto the task bar and vibrate when e.g. the device is moving.

Improvements:
- language file support (xml)
- sound notification
- autostart
- partial solution for full hiding (background processing)
- vibration on stylus state change
- last settings are saved to the registry, application will load them on startup
- cab for easier installation
- some minor redesign

Features:
- notification icon and balloon for switched on device
- vibration for suspended device
- monitoring g-sensor to detect moving
- monitoring light sensor to detect stylus loosing in pocket/pouch
- running in unattended mode to detect events in suspended mode
- smart minimize (X using your default setting, to minimize, use the menu)

Installation / requirements:
- .Net 3.5 is required as well as an HTC device with g, light and stylus sensor
- Install the CAB file. For language support find the EN_Language.xml in \Program Files\NoStylusWarning directory rename it to language.xml and edit it to your language or rename an existing xml file to language.xml (only Hungarian is available at the moment)

Known bug(s):
- light sensor changes are not detected in suspend mode.
- registry values are not deleted when uninstalling (it can be a feature also :-))
- full hide mode is available only when taskbar notification is selected, there's no return point to the application when it is hidden except the button in the notification bubble. :-(

Comments and requests are welcome. Thanks!

Will this work on a Diamond/Pro?

[Ddriver]

I hope yes, because of the same sensors in Diamond, Pro and HD. I have a HD so I could test just on the HD. If one of the sensors is not reachable / available, the application will warn you and exit. But I think Diamond and Pro is supported.

It seems that not memorize the settings when I close it.

The app is in the background on.
Is it possible to make, that is the app only in the Autostart active.
Look the pic.

Do you mean that if you autostart the application, it will run minimized by default? This connects to the previous suggestion about saving/loading previous settings. If so, (I hope) I can put it to the application...

Jes.

hi is in the autostart and also like on my pic.

If I make minimize then is it so.
If I close, then is the app not active.
