REQ: Sliding KeyPad Sound CAB

[andril]

I would like to try this app out on my Apache XV6700 - THANKS IN ADAVANCE

Is there one already? I just wrote one :P

This should work on any QVGA device and includes 2 small test wavs.


(See next post)

New version, 1.06.

Installation & Usage:
1. Unzip the zip file.
2. Move SlideSoundService.exe to \Windows.
3. Move SlideSound.exe and the wav files wherever you like.
4. Run SlideSound.exe and set up your options. They will take affect immediately.
5. Press the "Ok" button to close the config window, and you're done.

Optionally you can place a shortcut to SlideSound.exe in your Start Menu. The config panel will handle the startup shortcut for you based on your choice.

v1.07 Download at http://tiermann.net
- I changed the code to use the rotation angle instead of screen size. This should make it compatible with VGA devices now as well. Not only that, but it eliminated the reference to system.Display alltogether which is a good thing. If you're having conflicts with any other programs, try this version and let me know if it changes anything for you.
- Placed in a cab file for quick installation on PPC. Puts all files where they need to be and creates a Start Menu\Programs link.

v1.06
- Changed the code to use systemproperty.DisplayRotation.Changed event instead of pooling. Should fix the half a sec delay.
- I'm still working on getting the launched applications to work correctly. Problem is that windows sets the last active app as active again after the redraw from changing orientation.

v1.05
- I made it a little smarter when running the SlideSoundService. You shouldn't get duplicates anymore.
- I added the ability to set an application to run on slideIn or Out. It's completely optional and disabled by default. You can also delete the default entries and press "Set" if you just want a program to run on slideIn as opposed to both, etc.
- Changed the interface a bit to make room for the new options. All fields are also editable by a sip now instead of having to browse or change reg keys. Your new edited choice can be tested with the "Play" or "Test" buttons before it's set.

v1.04
- Removed the minimize button from the SlideSound.exe form so that it exits when pressing "ok". (not everyone uses HTC-Xbutton or Wisbar and there's no reason to run it in the background anyway.)

v1.03
- Fixed a problem with the config app not starting the service when you first run it.

v1.02
- Split SlideSound into 2 programs. (A config panel and a background service)
- Added option to start/stop the service and also set it to run on startup.

Tiermann I install "SlideSoundService.exe" into the windows folder. And "SlideSound.exe" and the wav files into "Program Files/SlideSound"
And when i run SlideSound.exe it doesn't see any wav files. I doesn't seem to see some of the first tier folder on the phone.
like windows folder or program files folder. but it see's all the first tier folder on the memory card.

I ask because i made it into a cab file. The cab installs the wav files and Slidesound.exe into /Program Files/SlideSound/ and SlideSoundService.exe into /windows/
And makes a shortcut to slidesound.exe.

When it install it only seems so see the mc wav files.

Yeah, sorry. It's a limitation of the .Net Framework's FileDialog. It won't let you look in certain folders like \Windows. I left the textbox writable though so you can type in any file, like \Windows\Alarm1.wav and hit set. SlideSound itself can use a wav from anywhere, just the file dialog can't see some places.

If you're using a cab file, you can set the default wavs in the registry too to make it easier.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\SlideSound]
"SlideIn"="\\Program Files\\SlideSound\\pop2.wav"
"SlideOut"="\\Program Files\\SlideSound\\pop1.wav"

Eventually I need to write my own file dialog for PPC, then I can throw it in all my apps instead of using MS's.

would anyone be willing to post the default slide sounds from the ppc-6800?

v1.06 is also available in a cab file. Link is in my signature.
