J

juvi

Hello,

Where are this buttons "calendar" "contacts" from the today screen stored? I
want to get the current options for these buttons and backup this, because
then I would like to add my own button assignment to my application.

If I remove my application it should replace the buttons back to old values...
Hope this is possible

thx
juvi

The left-hand calendar item is specific to Pocket PC (Professional Edition).
You can set it in the registry here:-
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112]
Default value is a string representing the display text
Open is the path to the executable to launch

112 (hex 70) is the numerical value of VK_TSOFT1 (VK_F1)

The right-hand key is implemented differently as it can change use depending
on current context - e.g. if there is a notification, missed call etc

You'll have to read and store the values there before you overwrite them.

On my device I have the keys 112 and 113 but only with (Default) and value
(value not set).

If I edit this I am not able to set it back to this state.

In that case delete the default value = name "" (RegistryKey.DeleteValue).
