Guest moo_ski_doo Posted October 11, 2003 Report Posted October 11, 2003 Does anyone know if it's possible for a piece of software to unlock the phone keypad itself? I've had a good look through the documentation but can't find anything so I'm guessing probably not. Still, thought it's worth asking here just in case. Cheers, -Mark.
Guest fraser Posted November 6, 2003 Report Posted November 6, 2003 As a last-resort hack, you might be able to simulate the key presses to do this. Don't know how you could test it though...how do you start an app with the keypad locked? :wink:
Guest moo_ski_doo Posted November 6, 2003 Report Posted November 6, 2003 Cheers for the idea, have had a little play with that sort of thing in the past but have been unsuccessful so far. Seems easy to emulate regular keypad presses (numbers 0-9 etc.) but don't know how to emulate the other keys (like the soft-keys, one of which is needed to unlock the keypad!) The other problem is finding out whether the keypad is locked in the first place (and if so, ideally locking it again when my app exits.) Will have to keep trying at it. In reply to your last point, and just in case you're interested, the keypad might be locked when the app starts as it will start from a thread in response to a timer message, which means it could start at any time. Cheers again, -Mark.
