Is there any way to make all applications work in full screen?
The top taskbar and the bottom bar may disappear automatically in full screen and they may return when we shake the phone or tap the screen 3 times?
Okay...so what you want to do to would be the following:
1) To make the program full-screen:
Eliminate the MainMenu
Set the window-state to Maximized
2) To make the program full-screen after x many seconds
Set up a Timer and set the Tick interval
On the Tick event, make it do what I said in #1
3) To make the program go back to normal when tapped 3 times
(I don't have a touchscreen, so I'm not sure) Set the OnClick event or OnFocus for the MAIN FORM to increment a counter
Once the counter hits 3, have it bring back the stuff I mentioned in #1
As far as shaking goes, I have never dealt with g-sensors....so I wouldnt be able to help. In a Pseudo-code-ish way I can assume that to get the shake to work, set up an event that will register movement, and if it is a "shake" then have it bring back the stuff i mentioned in #1
PS. This only applies if you are CODING THE APPLICATIONS YOURSELF....I don't think there is a way to manipulate other apps to do what you want to do...
thanks for the coding information, however, I requested a program that forces other programs to run as I explained.

You're in the software development area - that's why you get coding information
The best I can offer you is for me to dev an app that will move the window "up" so its Origin is something like (0, -26) [I think i tested once and found the topbar to be 26 pixels...] ... It would create the illusion of Fullscreen, but not really.....
If you want me to try to do this, just ask Always up for a challenge
EDIT:: What it would do is remove the topbar, and leave the Menu in the same place...so essentially you would be left with 20 pixels of whitespace above the menu-bar (or possibly it will see the windows behind it...im not sure)

WM6 Easter Eggs - WM6 Features (search terms)
This is a list of new and little known features in WM6.
Please add any I miss to this thread and I will try to put them in this post (with credit of course)
1. Typing on the keyboard on the today screen will automatically bring up the phone with matching contacts. Certain phone skins do not support this and you will just get a text box with scroll bars covering half the screen but nothing in it. If this happens switch your phone app with the Tweak app (varies depending on who’s WM6 you are running)
2. From Messaging (Outlook, SMS, MMS, [POP/IMAP? not tested] ) if you start typing it will search through your messages for whatever you type. Hold “H” for a list of shortcuts. I think the shortcut keys mean hold that letter.
3. Under calendar; If you create a new appointment and decide you don’t want it, you can now pres menu and cancel (cancel was not in wm5)
4. When typing in WiFi keys (WPA, WEP, whatever) you can actually see what you are typing instead of just ******.
5. The new feature I found that I love is if you go into the options for the calendar you can now set it to start in Month view (or whatever view you prefer). I couldn't stand the fact that WM5 kept reverting back to agenda!
(Thanks chymmylt!)
6. The camera finally keeps adjustments like contrast and sharpness saved.
Previously if you soft reset or power off and on the phone, these settings would always revert back to the defaults.
(Thanks abubasim!)
7. In Contacts, when you edit a contact you now have 'File As' useful if you want Forename Surname instead of the default Surname, Forename
(Thanks nbedford! [I installed the "File As" plugin and never noticed that it the ability to change it was built in =)] )
8. In Outlook, if you [Reply All] by default it copies your own email address into the recipient list, so you receive your own mails, even if you auto-save them already in Sent Folder. I found that extremely annoying because with every [Reply All] I had to manually remove my email address before sending.
You can avoid this easily:
1. Programs -> ActiveSync
2. Menu -> Options
3. Select the E-mail information type and tap Settings
4. Tap Advanced
5. Enter the e-mail address you want to remove when replying to all senders in My e-mail addresses
(Thanks aublumberg, This applys to WM5 also but not to many people know this one.)
Let me know if this is a waste of space, and if not, lets keep this thread on topic and point out all the fun reasons to use WM6.
Later, Lew
thanks. couple those i didnt know about.
not quite "easter eggs" though are they
thanks for sharing this information
i found the firts two points very usefull, and (correct me if i'am wrong) due to the lack of a propper wm6 manual i think this thread comes quite handy

Bump for added Features.
Not new, but little known and well hidden:
- press and hold the action button
- tap and hold the clock in the title bar until the dots stop moving
- when you release both the stylus and the action button, you get a small menu with an "execute" (or "run") entry. Tap that to get sort of a command line prompt.
Cheers
Daniel
Very nice thread. thnx for the little hints
Are there any real easter eggs in win mobile?

This is a real easter egg!
WIKI Pls
In the interest of WIKI and promoting the use of knowledge being written once and used many times, there is already a knowledgebase for this with lots of stuff, if you can add yours and close this, everybody will know where to go for their easter eggs...
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Buttons
Tap and hold the clock on the title bar lets you switch between digital and analog disply - no idea that happened until now!
I guess, you already know this...
Pressing the "power button" for 3 seconds turns off (not just standby) the device (with WM2003 it wasn't possible...)
This is probably an old one but I didn't know it myself until Googling for it:
In Solitaire, open the on-screen keyboard, tap Ctl and Shift and then Deal. It gives you the perfect hand.
Source: The Easter Egg Archive. The site has a few more . . . of which this one is the only one that seems to be working.

Good and handy tips!!! Thank you.
hi there i'd like to make some changes to my HD and i don't know how to do it or if it's even possible. so i want to ask u, maybe someone will help me
1. is there any way to disable or turn off the slider to aswer a call? i want to pick up a call only using soft keys
2. is it possible to change the album? i like the one on diamond 2 or pro 2. is it possible to install some features from diamond2? the callendar is better as well.
3. i found this opera tweak http://www.noeman.org/gsm/pocket-pc-smartphone-zone/76285-improve-wi-fi-speed-tested-htc-touch-pro-amd-touch-hd.html
now my question is if i can increase the number to 12 or 16 for even better speed or it will not work properly with higher number?
4. can i uninstall preinstalled programs? like games, calculator, internet explorer ect.
5. how can i put the S2U lock on the home screen so i could lock the phone with only one finger press. there is a "phone" shortcut on the left and "programs" on right, so maybe i could replace programs for S2U? i tried to change it but can't find the settings:/
i thinks that's it for now hope someone can help me. thanks in advance

it's in registry/HKLM/Software/HTC/Manila, you edit the HomeLSKPath for left and HomeRSKPath for right, also Text for what you want it to say
now, what exactly do you need to write to get s2u2, i don't know....would love to, great idea
1. I think you should completely disable touchflo3d's phonepad in favor of the default windows mobile one. You can do this by installing hdtweak and checking the appropriate option. I don't guarantee this because i haven't tried it anyway...
2. to have topaz/rhodium stuff you must flash a custom ROM (same goes for album). goto blackstone rom development subforum and you will find informations aplenty. Be warned that flashing a custom rom will void your guarranty and MIGHT brick your device (very very rare possibility, i don't think that in this forum not one single hd was bricked).
3. the link to that "opera tweak" as you call it refers to a hack to enable 54mbps wi-fi. it is not a opera tweak but a hardware/driver tweak. Increasing to higher numbers simply should not work and even MIGHT be damaging the phone's wi-fi receiver
4. no unfortunately not, preinstalled program are rom-dependant and rom files are protected and uninstallable. Again, flashing a custom rom that fits your needs is the way to go
5. as said fellow suisen, but you can also simply switch off the screen with the power button on top, when waking up it will be locked
as most of you know personal info contains also a note and you can set up that whenever you turn on your device this will show up
but to access this field you have to go quite far (toooo many clicks away)
my question is - is there any simple way to access and edit this note? can you make shorcut to standard HTC Home or assing it to any button when pressed longer?
thx
I cannot have my identification info and/or notes displayed on my home screen with TF3D. How do you do that?
I'd love to have some program / tweak to really edit the TF3D. Been waiting for more than a year now, Clock is too big, I can see too few appointsments and I'd like to see notes. Just like you had on that old Nokia.
EDIT: Nevermind, it functions as a sort of screensaver I found out now. Haven't found a quicker way to access the notes though.
EDIT2: The notes screen seems to be cut off after 6 lines. Any way to have it fill the full screen? Now I can only add 5 lines of notes (sixth line is already displayed with the bottom mm cut off) and I have about 10 lines white at the bottom.
I can see 6 lines, that is really strange, based on the space of the whole display and its capabilites ..
never the less I could use some shortcut ...
Please, can anyone help?
I just recieved a new Verizon Touch Pro 2 and am trying to find the tweaks to set it up the way I would like. Frankly, I have spent hours looking and have not been able to find everything. Yes, this is cheesy and weak, but I am just burned out.
I am looking for some help on how to:
1. Change the 'Start' menu to use small fonts and work more like the standard Start menu (I do not use the Touchflo interface)
2. Disable word complete when using the keyboard. My ham hands keep messing things up.
3. Unlock the top of the screen so touching the battery icon takes me to power settings, touching the connection icon will let me disconnect data or start the connection manager and touching the volumn will bring up a volumn control. I really dislike having that area just open notifications.
4. Is there some decent, free theme generator out there? I was pretty happy with the one I had on the Omnia 1, but the TP2 seems to be pretty locked down for Touchflo.
I am sure there are more things, but hopefully getting these key things accomplished will remotivate me to try and go and find everything else myself.
Thanks in advance!
Maybe if I am feeling up to it this weekend I will play with my old Samsung and see what use I can make of it. Until I brick it, most likely. I am thinking about learning to create my own ROMS, and seeing if I can create one with no phone functionality at all. Useless? Probably. But something ingteresting to do on these long winter weekends.
1. TF3D2 Tweak. This has this option. (Pretty sure that's the right link, if it isn't then Google is your friend)
2. When your is displayed, mid-left there is XT9 and ABC, make sure that ABC is highlighted.
The others I'm not too sure about. Let me know if this helps.
3. go to HKLM\Services\NotificationManager\ in your registry.
Change the "flags" entry to 4 instead of 0, and it should go back to the default windows mobile notifications (any value other than 0 worked for me to switch back to the old style, but I saw another post that suggested "4").
I would also like to apply that change to unlock the top bar but am getting an "Access Denied" message when I attempt to change it.. Using mobregedit to do it.. what should I do?
intro: I'm a bachelor student who has a little knowledge of programming.
For the first time i try to make a simple game that i already wrote in java work in vb.
I'm planning to make this a full working game that I can place on the market place for free.
I already have the idea how to make the AI to play 1 vs PPC
I wrote it for a WVGA screen but its completely dynamic so it should work on other screen sizes.
Only when you change the orientation the text will not be visible (need to think where i'm gonna place it)
pls feel free to give input on the project.
I uploaded the whole vb net directory so its open for everybody
(Im still a bit strugling with a cab file that has links in it
if you instal it, it should be visible in the programfiles dir)

-thanks to Gaz25 the refresh problem is soved
-the 4 on a row detection algorithm is completed
Hi, I had a look at your code and fixed your flicker problem.
Basically, when you do you own drawing on a control like a panel you need to take control of painting the background as when a control is redrawn it paints the background first and then anything else on top like text, images etc...
The best thing to do is create a custom control. Then you can override the OnBackgroundPaint event and say do nothing.
Then override the OnPaint event and here is another trick.
In the OnPaint event, create a bitmap. This will be the 'backbuffer' which you will do all your drawing on. Then when you have done all your drawing on the backbuffer, you draw the backbuffer to the screen.
I have included your solution with my modification which I hope make more sense .
If you need more explanation then let me know and I will go into more detail.

i will look at it monday when i'm back from a festival
thanks in advance.
sended from x1
Thank you very mutch,
i just tested it and it works perfect.
I will try to make it better in the following weeks.
Only one thing that you changed in my code that wasn't correct "speler = 0" (on load, needs to be 1 or 2) (speler = player)
I also found an error in my own algortim for the 4 on a row detection
"teller1 = teller2 = 0" ( gave me a -1 on teller1)
