HTC HD2 has number of non-standard controls and notifications (not part of Windows Mobile 6.5) that are sometimes causing troubles in our C++ applications. We have spotted following strange behaviour :
Fullscreen month calendar is displayed when clicking on Datetimepicker expand button. But this action closes a dialog containing DTP control - it either closes popup dialog or kills tab in TabCtrl or PropertySheet.
Tab is changed when trying to select text in standard text control with left-right gesture.
We have implemented our own numeric keyboard. Our keyboard is displayed too high (on top of large HTC keyboard) when switching from HTC large keyboard to our standard size keyboard. Looks awkward because bellow our SIP is blank space.
Does somebody have an experience with these issues? Help would be really appreciated.
Cheers.

assign new text message screen to hard button - possible w/o SPB Pocket Plus??
I have SBS pocket plus and in my case is a memory hog... but i admit it has a nice feature where you can assign a shortcut to the new text message screen to any hard button... is there any program that can give me that feature (specifically) or any of you gentleman or ladies know how I can "activate" that shorcut from within windows, registry, etc?
New menu for wm5 will allow you to do that - assign to left or right softkeys see here http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=40088
Or with Vjsms you can assign this program to hardware button through settings\buttons see here http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=26972
Hi, Guys
Great job on all the different ROMS.
Is it possible to set the screen orientation for specific applications. ie stay in standard portrait mode, but say I open email or tom tom. I would like the screen to change to landscape automatically and when I exit the program the screen to revert back to portrait mode. If not does any one know of an app that can do this.
cheers
That has to be written into the application.
It used to be an option in Tomtom 5, but it was a feature that was removed for Tomtom 6.
Opera browser will landscape independantly of the OS.
Sadly developers have have starting thinking that as screen rotation is available from Windows, they don't need to add it to their applications.
I'm not aware of any extra application that would monitor other opening applications and switch the display accordingly.
thanks for the quick reply. Guess I will have to manually change before opening.
just find this:

Hi all..
Wondering, is there any way to program the touch flow buttons (slider) for Mail and the one for Messages to go to the old style, original, windows accounts page and the threaded text messaging page as apposed to the touch flow? Would it be a simple registry key?
How about the menus inside programs on the bottom right and left.. Any way to go back to the original windows menus as apposed to the large touch flow ones?
i have the same problem - nobody knows - to solve ...
Hey desire fans
I've been wondering if it's possible to use desire's optical track pad more like a trackball on nexus one - not like the link-to-link jump but to get normal cursor for selecting text etc.
Does anybody think that would work?
if you are using sense then you can simply hold down on text you want to select, a magnifying glass will even appear for precision, and you can then extend your selection with 2 large arrows - pretty simple there
if you are not using sense (froyo i presume) then in a browser or gmail etc go to menu -> more and select text, you can then move your trackpad and it will be displayed as a cursor in which you can select text
hope this helps
If you mean when editing or entering text, you can do the following on the Desire (or probably any Sense UI phone with a trackpad):
gently swipe left / right / up / down over the trackpad to move the text cursor,
long-press (click) the trackpad to pop-up a menu with several options (select all, copy all, start selecting text, paste, etc),
after choosing "select text", the text cursor will slightly alter its appearance, and then swiping in any direction will create an expanding text selection; long-press it once more to perform Copy or Cut operations with the selected text, or to simply stop selecting text in case you changed your mind.
As the previous poster said you can usually select text using touch screen actions as well, but using the trackpad can be more accurate or just plain easier.
Enjoy
Thanks guys!
It'll make my life easier!
Ultimately what I'm looking for is just to get a normal mouse cursor - it's not just about selecting&typing in text - you can do so much more...
Is it possible to flash nexus one rom to desire? Would track pad start working as trackball then?
After using "simulate large screen" tweak on my Lumia 1020 the screen keyboard was replaced behind right screen border and I can see only little part of the keyboard. How can I access keyboard position options in registry to turn it back?
Can you show a picture? Opening wptweaker and push back that tweak button?
Or go to settings, keyboard, small keyboard
