Today Items: Owner, Appointments and Tasks ? - Windows Mobile Software Development

Hello There
I want to make a clone of the Owner, Appointments and Tasks Today items
I want to do them but in another language
So is there any example codes for these items in order to build a my dlls for them ?

I forgot to mention Inbox Item too

Mate, that is not as simple as iy would be on a Smartphone. The TODAY plugins are real programs and not XML scripts. You need to either hack the DLLs or get yourself a plugin that's available in different languages like PI Today Plugin.
What language are you looking for?

Add more Items in Today manually

Who knows how to add additional items in the today screen. I found the registry entry HKLM\Software\Today\Items
But I don't know what entries are needed and I would rather not have to install Resco, the point of this for me is to save space (and of course learn while doing).
Anyone???
Eh? Pretty much all today plugins come with installers.
Any particular reason for adding them manually?

I guess I worded that weird what I want to do is add shortcuts of the already installed apps to the today screen right now by default the only options are:
Date
Wireless
Owner Info
Messaging
Tasks
Calendar
DeviceLock
I would like to add some more items of my choice but wouldn't know what settings to put in the entries of the reg setting
use a third party launcher. claunch for example

Sliding Panel Help

Guys/Gals,
Newbie here. I'm trying to modify the sliding panel media homescreen.xml file. My question is more for the general xml programming. Is there a way to include a "plugin clsid" within a "plugin clsid"?
See the attached xml file. There's "CCustomPlugin" section where you can create your own panel. I'm using Good mobile messaging and i want to be able to add the Good mobile email and unread email plugin.
Thanks in advance for your help!
Actually, to add a new panel, you need to add a new dir(name of you choice) in your reg under chome. Under the new dir, copy all of the info from CWelcomeCenter panel into it. Then you can modify all the values(text,picture,url) to what ever you want. No need to change xml except since you have a list of plugins in there(cclock,chome,etc), you need to add it to the list. Once you created the dir, with copied info in it, you could use chome configurator to modify the values(easier).

Thanks Showaco. Does the method you described allow me to add a plugin as well? What i want to do is this. I want to add a panel with a program (exe file). This program also comes with a plugin clsid that shows my online status. So the end product would be an icon, the program name, and my online status. I think the method your prescribed only would allow me to add the program and the description of the program. But not the plugin clsid...
Showaco didn't understand what you're trying to do. Let me explain...
In the homescreen xml file you can ONLY have two plugins (in the sliding panels configuration). One being CHome and another being the 20 pixels at the top. The top plugin can be anything... 99% of the time it's the iconbar, of course. People like rinku have made different plugins that show different information up there, but.. you lose the iconbar. So, to wrape it up, you can replace the icon bar GUID in the XML with your plugin's GUID(and settings) and have it show up at the top. BUT, you lose the icon bar.. and that's a NO NO if you ask me
I gotcha now, I didn't know realtime data involved. The only way I know is to use testuiplugin panel, but it would only work if the info that you want to display is written somewhere in the registry. Does the email program write info to the reg already?
I understand. So you can't have another plugin within CHOME..that sucks and makes what I want to do harder.
What I'm using is Good Mobile Messaging. I assume this program already writes to the registy? It would be perfect if I can just replace the CCalendar with GoodCalendar and CMessaging with GoodEmail.

Manila 2d disable lines on Home XML

Hi everybody,
sorry for my bad english.
I have a HTC Touch 3g (Jade) with original ROM (new update), but installed the M2DC-Programm and I´m using a personalized skin.
In M2DC you can enable or disable parts of the Home XML, for example the lines between clock, missed calls and the calendar.
When I disable all of them, there is still a small line under the second calender entry. When only one entry is shown, there´s no line.
The line itself is not centralized, it´s so called "left-aligned".
Maybe there´s anyone who knows how I can get rid of this line, which ist only shown, when there´re two calender entries on the Home XML.
I´m not very confidend in hacking files, but when there´s a possibility to change the HomeXML-File I would try to do it.
Thank you very much!
Best regards,
Virusboard

Menu Extension in Messages (Manila)

Hello,
I wrote a programm which allows someone to send SMS over CherrySMS (a online Service).
It even adds these SMS messages to the Sent Items (SMS) Folder.
But afterall it is not really well integrated into Manila & Windows Mobile.
I'm searching for a way to add a menu entry into the Manila Messages view (where you can see received messages) and the Threaded View that I can simply click on that and my application starts and can reply to that message.
By searching the web I just found a way to add menu extensions to PocketOutlook, but that's not enough for HTC/manila based phones.
So is there any good way to archieve that?
cool!
The manila tv player has a functionallity like this! i think you can stick to the implementation they used in their files...
Where do you actually see the sourcecode of manila tv? I just see a cab file and a description how to add channels to this application.
But afterall it's not such a bad idea to completly replace the SMS/message view in manila. It might be a start ... thank you
Does someone else know a way to add a menu entry to a manila based application? Maybe it is a xml-file, or a registry entry? Sorry I don't know very much about this whole Manila stuff (especially the manipulation of it).

Basic customization for TF3D home screen

Using:
HTC Tilt2 (AT&T)
Stock ROM
Manila 2.1 tf3d (not sense ui)
Is there any simple way (via editing xml code or a .cab) to add notifications to the home screen of the touchflo 3D? I really dislike both the sms and email tabs and want to remove them, but need to know when an account has a new email.
Alternatively, is there a way to make the tabs display the # of NEW messages, rather than Unread messages? If so, I could just use the tabs for notification, and otherwise ignore them...
I have been searching a reading until my head hurts, but I just cant seem to find the right key words to get the info I need. Thanks for any help...
Ok, maybe a complicated way, then?
After looking through all of the xml files on this device, there does not appear to be one that controls the main "home" tab of the touchflo 3d interface. At least, not one that I can make any sense of (there are several that are just numbers/letters grouped in 4s through most of the document)...
So... What type of file should I be looking for, and how to edit it?
---------------------------------------------
What I think I know about the xml files:
att_tabitems.xml -> all of the elements on the att tab of the touchflo ui.
default_contacts.xml -> speed dial
ha_skin_*.xml -> photos and videos tab of touchflow ui
internet_portal-en-US.xml -> top half of internet touchflo ui
StreamingPlayer*.xml -> music tab of the touchflow ui
There's also a few obvious ones for other program's, like the calculator, settings for pop mail... etc
They are manila files.
I did a quick search and i found this... not sure if it will work though

How would the phone discern which messages are unread as opposed to which is new? They are essentially the same thing. Good luck with finding that one.
All new messages are unread... but all unread aren't new (but "new" being as you haven't read them so, in a sense, all unread messages are new... yeah haha have fun with that.)
Not quite, I think...

I've looked at all of the manila files with the manila editor (literally every single one)... they all seem to be just images. Am I missing something here?
Edit: Yes, I'm a blooming dope. The manila editor was filtering for just graphic files. opening in mode9 editor allows me to see file types. There are 4 types of manila files: mode9, lua, xml, and graphic files. Haven't figured out what yet, but the file 590ad244_manila seems to be the xml file controling the home screen. Not sure how far I can get with just the xml (as there are also lua and mode9 files associated w/ the home screen, but I'll be giving it a go over the next bit

Thanks, but that thread says it is for "sense", and that seems to be different than the 2.1 tf3d "manila"... at least based on post 3 of this thread
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=676139*.

That is exactly what I am looking for though.
Any chance that information is wrong and I actually have sense 2.1? I read elsewhere that if the slider icons were black/white, it's not sense, colored icons, it is. Can't seem to find that info anywhere right now though.
Thanks for the help so far, I really do hope you all can help me sort my muddled noob confusion out here.
*Sorry, had to remove the http bit from the link to the post. for some reason the forum is calling that an outside link and not allowing it.

Well, I have ~102 unread messages on my gmail account (I suscribe to several linux lists- i know, cut back) and 4 unread messages on my outlook. In TF3D UI, the message tab says 99+. If I switch to stock Windows Mobile 6.5 (titaniun), on the email slider it just says "1", because there has only been one message received since the last time I went to the email interface and opened those accounts. This has been the default behaviour of all of my previous WinMo devices (always WinMo standard, before now).
