Idea to close text, when closing keyboard

for now I have it set to check for tmail.exe every 60sec.
If it finds tmail running it will check the orientation every 5 sec (what the quickest you can actually type a response with the keyboard including waiting for the display to respond for a quick spell check before hitting send)
It will only kill tmail.exe if phone goes from landscape to portrait
If the battery goes below 10% it will exit.

feel free to tweak for better performance

##########WARNING###########
it occured to me that if tmail.exe is killed before it can write to it's db you may lose txt's &or emails
also I'm not sure what effect this will have if an email send/recive is processing

you rock shaggy. is there a way to just set an on kb event kind of like how gyrator 2 does an on stylus event so when text is open and keyboard gets closed the program starts, kills the text, and closes?

that would be ideal, however it would probably require a modified dll of some sort. I am reminded of nueWifiSwitch.
also I am NOT a programmer, so there might be a way with .NET

this reminds of the keyboard hook that A_C uses in s2u2 i wonder if we ould find out what that is so we could use it for this app.

Im not a programer or even have a clue how to come up with something like this but would there be a way to find a phone that has the capabilites and rip the program from it and tweak to fit or copy the basic structure to be capable with or phones.


Im glad I wasnt the only one that thought it would be a cool Idea. Being bored at work when you have stuff to do sometimes pays off.

That most likely won't work. If a PPC had that capability, then there would be a shot.
