PPCGEEKS Phone Lock Slider

Is there any reason that this would not work on the 700wx other than the screen size?

I've updated the launcher to have an actual close button. I also moved the lock function off the clock and onto a lock icon to make it more obvious how to launch the slidelock.

It should work, and the screen size should be adjustable.. what is the treo wx?

I have no idea how I missed this thread, but holy cool! Keep up the good work guys!

I implemented some of Andason's code on the fish lock (If that's not OK Andason, let me know and I'll pull it), and reorganized the screen so it looked a bit better. I also eliminated the animation on the text "Slide to Unlock." The lock seems to load a bit faster that way, and the overall cab size was cut by nearly half.

That's kewl, but could you write a showmessage code that would prompt the user to hit ok to my name 10 times before the lock app activated?



What part of the code did you actually remove to eliminate the scrolling .bmp at the unlock?

I've been toying around with the fonts and the suspend issued. Here is a screenshot of my current one. It includes the apple fonts and others.
ls622 shot me the wallpaper to make a personal version..
(not forgotten ls622)

Also, I see where ppl is being updated to version 1.25. One of the fixes is to allow the cpu usage to drop during suspend. : )

I edited the line that has slideani.bmp and changed the 30, 60 to 1, 0. Basically the 30, 60 says divide the image 30 times and display each segment for 60 ms. I changed it to 1, 0. Which says divide it by 1 and display infinitely. I also took the 7220 x whatever image and reduced it to just the first frame, which made a 240 x whatever image.

Good news on the 1.25! Thanks for letting me steal your code. One question, is it pulling the "Text Message" and "Outlook Email" text from the registry, cuz I didn't see it anywhere in your code. Also, why does Text Message show up even when there are no texts, but Outlook Email only shows up when I have emails?

Yes, all are being pulled from registry.. it's like ragu.. it's in there.

if (RegOpenKeyEx(HKEY_CURRENT_USER, "system\\state\\Messages\\sms\\Unread", 0, KEY_ALL_ACCESS, &hKey$) != 0)
CountText$ = "Unknown";
return (true);
end;

new(typ$, tint);
new(sz$, tint);
new(s$, 1024);
typ$ = REG_SZ;
sz$ = 512;
if (RegQueryValueEx(hKey$, "Text", 0, &typ$, &s$, &sz$) != 0)
CountText$ = "";
else

CountText$ = char(s$);
end;

The reason that text remains at zero and the others don't is because the string value for all the emails will either appear with the count of messages or disappear at zero.

With text messages the string value remains constantly with Text Messages (0) unless your receive an sms. I don't know why it won't go away in the registry. I tried playing with the code to understan Text Messages (0) as being "" but i had no luck.. see what you can figure out.

I noticed that the last caller and email information does not line up in version 1.3. Otherwise the lock loads very fast for me!

Also, is there any way to add the next appointment to show up on the screen?

[Perasite]

The last caller name is on the left side of line A, the last caller number is on the left side of line B. Text Messages is the right side of line A and Exchange email is on the right side of line B. Other email is on the right side of line C. What exactly doesn't line up? Can you post a screen shot? I was wondering the same thing about next appointment. I'm going to dig into that soon.
