Old version
I'm make a small program, which change current SIP when stylus out of the case and in the case.

Just unzip, and run program. Run again, and you can stop background process.
Settings in registry:

key HKCU\Software\HtcExtFun
value StylusInSipName - string name of SIP when stylus in the case
value StylusOutSipName - string name of SIP when stylus out of the case

example of reg settings (included in attached archive):

Code:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HtcExtFun]
"StylusOutSipName"="Keyboard - VGAKEY"
"StylusInSipName"="TouchPal"

And would it be possible to change the diamond in some kind of explosive device if the stylus is pulled out and in five times in less than three seconds ?
Hmmm James Bond on TV tonight, sorry for that.

The real question was : what do you call SIP : is it any program ? Does it interfere with the "notes" opening during a call ?

SIP = "Soft Input Panel"

It's the method of inputting text on a ppc, such as keyboard, transcriber etc...

Thanks a lot exidler, I've been missing this feature

My question is will it interfere/conflict with a SmartSIP application? I'm not in the mood for a Hard Reset just now due to conflicting SIPs...

Hello,

Nice idea but when I execute the HtcExtFun.exe I received this message :
"can't initialize SIP CLSIDs for stylus status"

My Rom is HTC_FRA_1.93.406.1

Thank's for you help

Just change the registry keys to whatever SIPs you use. You probably don't even have a "Keyboard - VGAKEY" installed.

2ALL: Also be sure to input localized names for SIPs into reg keys (for non-WWE ROMs). Good luck!

Btw, it works just fine with SmartSIP...

Good job, exidler! Thank you. It's just what I wanted. Will probably uninstall SmartSIP now...

At begining of topic, asking about runing Notes when stylus pulled out.
My question: may be add feature to run something when stylus pulled out? Not only when call in progress.

Would be a nice addition, but I'd prefer it to be user-configurable (on/off), with a list of exceptions. So each time I'm about to rename a file it won't open Notes or whatever.

WOW Fantastic app thanks

I Repackaged it in a cab file that adds the reg key to change between Compact QWERTY and Keyboard. Also drops a shortcut under
Start Menu>Programs

Video of the software here. I think its great, but could obviously do with a configuration panel and having a shortcut dropped into \windows\startup.

It only worked for me after a soft reset, and then starting the app once.

To have it start at every boot up, paste the app in /Windows/StartUp

Very convenient app, they should have implemented this in the original ROM .

Awesome!...

It worked after I add ZaJules's Reg file.

But I want to be able to switch between:

Compact QWERTY and Fitaly by textware.

I edited the reg location (in windows registry) from keyboard to fitaly

now removing/replacing stylus doesn't do anything...

cheers, stevo.

[edit] Maybe it's called something else in the registry...
[edit] fixed it.
I had "Keyboard Qwerty" insteat of "Keyboard QWERTY", so it IS CAP specific!.

cheers, swesome.... This bl00dy phone just gets better and better every day...!

when using the exidler....cab I got an error while starting up. It seems the application is missing a reference. When I start it manually I get an error about missing reference in registry.

I use original Rom 1.93GER
