Exclamation Answered! Sort of..."Force landscape regardless of orientation????"

Searched, but can only seem to find stuff that allows the ui to move regardless of the keyboard being open or not.

What I want to do is force landscape at all times...... its for a landscape only theme that im making for WAD2.

Any help would certainly gain my appreciation and thanks.

Re: Anyone know how to force landscape regardless of orientation????

There's an option in settings/screen which allows you to choose the orientation. However, it always defaults to portrait when closing/sliding the keyboard back to its closed position. Maybe, you could find a registry setting which allows for it to default to landscape instead. Good luck.

Re: Anyone know how to force landscape regardless of orientation????

So after a few hrs of tampering/drinking () I found a program on the internet called "Change Screen" by "iDevelopeStuff"??

Anyways... this works great but doesn't stop my phone from still flipping to portrait mode for about 2 seconds when I close my keyboard....

Again, i searched for a registry edit here in the TP2 forums but results came up negative.

So......... does anyone know of a registry edit that disables my keyboard from telling windows mobile to change back to portrait mode after closing it.

SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!!!! Again greatly appreciated.

Re: Answered! Sort of..."Force landscape regardless of orientation????"

When I had a Mogul I was searching for a way to do this as well. Along my journey I learned that this was possible on older versions of windows, but 6+ will always revert to portrait mode. If you find a way around this PLEASE let me know, but I'm pretty sure it's undoable.
