I don't the default keyboard to popup when giving focus to the textbox in windows phone. Didn't find a way to disable the keyboard. Is there a way to disable it ?
I also tried to extend the textbox and in OnFocus removed the base.OnFocus(), which effectively removes the keyboard. But all other textbox features are also not working. Any pointers regarding this will be really helpful.
Thanks

I have a winmo application running on win mobile 6.5 using the 2.0 ce framework:
On some forms, I make use of the menu bar to have custom menu items, as seen below
The "More" and "Cancel" buttons have events wired up so that I can actually make the form behave how I want to. But the problem is the "OK" that is always there by default and just closes the current form. I want to remove this completely so that it looks like this
:
But from what I have been researching so far, it is impossible. I have come across solutions to remove the whole menu bar (I still need the other buttons) or to disable the OK button (but even having it there will confuse the users)
Is this possible?
would be cool to also remove the windows "start" button, but not necessary
You can "dynamically" show/hide the Star icon when using small code BEFORE the window/form is created: http://www.hjgode.de/wp/2012/05/10/windows-mobile-kiosk-mode-series-part-1/
The trick is to just change one registry key BEFORE create windows/form:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\BubbleTiles]
"HardwareStartKeyEnabled"=dword:00000001
set to 1 to hide the start icon for new windows and set to 0 to have new windows show a start icon.
The change will NOT affect already open/created windows/forms. Only newly ones will be affected.
To Hide/disappear the Ok button or x (close) button,
Enable, controlbox=false.
To disappear/Hide the whole header or menu bar,
Use, WindowState=Maximized.
I just want to know is that Any other way to get the Settings Charm is active or not.
Because, In my app, the Settings of an app is in the settings charm(If user presses Settings btn in App will leads to open Settings Charm)
In my case, Instead of using the settings btn. user may use short cut (WIN + C) (or) Moving the Mouse to the Right corner of the Screen. to enter into the settings pane means how could i know that?
Is that any way to find that????
Tap in to CommandsRequested on the SettingsPane
Occurs when the user opens the settings pane. Listening for this event lets the app
initialize the setting commands and pause its UI until the user closes the pane.
Now detecting that it's closed again would amount to checking that your window is again activated - see this thread.
I want to move back/forward between editor tabs, using the two additional ("virtual") mouse buttons I have (RAZER DEATHADDER BLACK).
In Eclipse it's possible by default.
In IDEA I go to File->Settings->Keymap->Main menu->Window->Editor Tabs.
There I have Select Next Tab with the deault Alt+Right shortcut.
Then I open the Add Mouse Shortcut.
In that dialog I try to assign the back button of my mouse but without success. It doesn't react at all.
Anyway, googling a bit I've found this thread. I quote Alexey Gopachenko which seems to be an employee of IntelliJ:
As stated above - we can't support buttons if JDK on your platform
does not support them - and obviously it does not.
Anyway, that is totally wrong. My platform does support these keys - I actually work with them, on the same platform, on Eclipse and any other app, so it's IDEA who ignores them.
I'd appriciate a solution - how do I assign these back/forward mouse buttons?
UPDATE #1
I've found out that IDEA uses its own JAVA distribution (C:\Program Files (x86)\JetBrains\IntelliJ IDEA 11.1.4\jre on Windows 7), instead of the system's one - WHY?!
I'm almost SURE that is the reason I cannot use extended mouse buttons.
I've tried to trick IDEA by creating a custom Windows shortcut. Didn't work. I've also tried to create a SYMLINK in windows to my other, system-wide JRE distribution. Didn't work as well.
If someone come up with an idea on how to make it work with the system's JRE instead of its own - I think that'd solve the issue.
UPDATE #2
The above update #1 is not the issue.
I also had the same problem under OS X El Capitan. I just tried to add a new Keyboard-Shortcut and pressed than the Button 4 on the mouse and this worked.
Back/Forward mouse shortcuts work fine for me with Razer Mamba mouse, for example Back action is assigned to Button4 Click and I can confirm that it is recognized in this dialog when I click on the Click Pad area:
If it doesn't work with your mouse for some reason, you can try to workaround the problem using the Razer Configurator macro or key assignments:
Use the assigned key in IDEA keymap settings instead of the mouse shortcut.
Note that Eclipse is SWT based while IDEA is Swing based, so mouse event management is completely different. If JDK cannot recognize your device button clicks, it will not work in any Java Swing applications (NetBeans, JEdit, etc). In some cases running IDEA under a more recent JDK version may help (if support for your device was added in the newer JDK release).
I'm experiencing the exact same thing suddenly.
I realized my most recent change was to start using idea64.exe rather than idea.exe.
I switched back, and my mouse buttons are working fine again.
So, while this is not a complete answer, it seems as if it has something to do with the 64-bit version.
If the Razer driver's button mapping feature doesn't allow different mappings for a particular program, you can just assign the buttons to the mouse button number choices (mouse button 4 / mouse button 5) and then install a third party app that does support mappings for particular programs, e.g. https://superuser.com/questions/562972/how-to-map-bind-mouse-button-as-keyboard-button-in-windows-7
This question helped me although I have a Logitech Marathon Mouse M705, so I thought that I would share the solution in case other Logitech owners was in search for this.
I have a similar problem with a Logitech mouse and idea64.exe
Fortunately their SetPoint software allows for program specific settings.
This setting will have to be deleted and then reconfigured whenever you update IntelliJ and get a new idea64.exe :-)
I am experiencing a very similar problem and wanted to share my findings. I just bought a new Logitech M705 mouse. Within intelli-j the scroll right and scroll left buttons do not work. The forward and backward buttons also do not work.
I typically run intelli-j as administrator because I need higher privileges to run various tomcat services. When logging in as that user (rather than right clicking and selecting run as admin) all the buttons work! Also, when running as my normal user all the buttons work.
Also very curious is that I have an older generation Logitech mouse (same model, M705). This mouse has no problems with the scroll buttons and forward-back.
My solution for now is to use intelli-j as the user I am logged in as.
Check out this little tutorial from BetterTouchTool here. Basically for some mice (like Logitech ones) using the settings application they come with you can map default button actions to clicks and in doing so set a button number and use it as normal.
This works for my Logitech Performance MX mouse.
You can add mouse shortcuts, just click on an action in keymap and add mouse shortcut.
Alternatively Ctrl+Tab brings up switcher, which may be less clicks to navigate.
Hello I have a VB NET application and I would like to add it a keybord key pressed catching system so I can track any keybord key that is pressed on any application that is running on my computer and uses keybord.
If someone has any idea thanks for sharing it.
I Hope my question was clear.
Thanks.
You will need to use a Global KeyBoard hook, look at this CodePlex Project. It will allow you to intercept the Global Keyboard events.
From Link:
This library allows you to tap keyboard and mouse and to detect and
record their activity even when an application is inactive and runs in
background.
This library attaches to windows global hooks, tracks keyboard and
mouse clicks and movement and raises common .NET events with
KeyEventArgs and MouseEventArgs, so you can easily retrieve any
information you need:
