1 Key press to view calendar

[Guest csc12345678]

I used to have a Nokia phone. When I press right on the navigator key, it will bring up a month view of the calendar.

FOr the smartphone, I have to call up calendar and press the left softkey a few times before the month view appears. I wonder if it's possible to also program the Smartphone to bring up the month view with 1 key press ? Thanks.

I think papyrus allows settings like this.

You can do that with script. You will use it on Dopod 585, right? Let me prepare something for you to try. Give me a couple of minutes...

EDIT:

Tada! Here it is. Something I call 'MonthView' ;)

MonthView.exe

Download, click EXE on PC while phone is sync'd, follow on-screen instructions. Will only work on app-unlocked phone. I tried it on my C550 (like Dopod 585) and it works fine. Look for 'Month View' in Start Menu. It will open Calendar in month view instead of agenda view.

Thanks for the script.

After installing, I invoke it. Here's what happen:

- the first time I invoke it, it still calls up the agenda view with a doink sound

- I go back to Home and invoke it again, this time, the Month view is displayed.

- when I go to the Week view, then Home and invoke it, it still display Week view.

It seems like only when I'm in Agenda view, then the script will display Month view.

I see. Kindly try this...

MonthViewFix.CAB

To test:

- Choose Week View > Home > Invoke

- Choose Agenda View > Home > Invoke

Should open Month View in both cases (hopefully) ;)

[Guest csc12345678]

Thanks again.

The CAB is called fix.. so should I install on top of the original or should I uninstall the original first ?

You will be prompted to remove previous version of GPC MonthView. Just click Yes.

I hope it will work on your phone. ;)

[Guest csc12345678]

Oops.. this time it's worse. It doesn't even go into Month View from the Agenda View.

Oh no. Maybe you can open then edit the SHK on your PC. Allow me to explain the script commands.

Run,\Windows\calendar.exe,

Sleep,100,

SendKeyCode,13,

SendKeyCode,113,

Type,4,

It says: launch calendar program (opens Agenda View by default), sleep 100 millisecond, click Action button (to go back to Agenda view in case you are in Week/ Month view), click right soft key (to open Menu), press 4 (to open Month view).

For info...On Orange C500/ C550, clicking the Action button (joystick) while in Week or Month View brings you back to Agenda View. When in Agenda View, menu shortcut for Month View is 4. If 100 millisecond seems too fast for a sleep command, try 400. I use 400 on my C500 and C550.

OK. you got to help me here. Where do I find the SHK ? Do I edit the files in the CAB and then install it again or is the SHK somewhere on the phone which I can copy over to the PC to edit and copy back to the phone ?

By the way, I'm interested to learn scripting of this sort. Where can I find the information ? Thanks.
