hi icho1015,
thanks for the hint. but as i said before:
rtPath = "\\Windows\\Start Menu\\Programs\\";is not the same in all devices! For me it's: rtPath = "\\Windows\\Startmenü\\Programme\\"; this contains ü, and pointui can't handle it!
Edit: You gave me a great idea! I think there could be a way...

Good point. I did not think about other languages.

But youu gave me the idea that name before "Programs" or "Programme" are nearly same in lengh... so I did:
\\Windows\\Start Menu\\Programs\\Subfolder\\Progamm.lnk
^ cut it somewhere here and find the next backslash.
(It doesn't matter if I cut P|rograms or Program|s)
Now we've got the Subfolder :-)
FYI, you could read this documentation.
I think that the token {Programs} could help you.
@jo_keks, I've added your applet in the store.
Thanks!

Monte, The {Programs} token is being used, the problem is mapping to shortcuts in subfolders in the start menu. For example a game inside of the Games folder.

Hi Monte,
the FileExplorerScreen returns the full (rom specific) path, so I have to handle this.
P.S read the documentation, {Programs} works for ProcessStart...

I can't add any programs to the quick launch that are part of my start menu... I'd prefer to have them in quick launch!

look at first post "no favourites", they are based in another path! You could edit the settings.xml like this: <name>\Windows\Start Menu\YourFavourite.lnk</name>

Very interessting apllet.
I have also a question: Is it possible to create in this applet also subfolders or something like this. I use a X1 and also the MobileShell-Panel (but only for the "myMenu" were I can put shortcuts to PDFs and other files.
Example: I create an quicklaunch called PDFs. When I press this Icon then a new window opens (like the Appointment-applets) and the games are listed as 1.pdf , 2.pdf,...
Is this possible or do I have to wait until the Pro-Version is out?

Hi Zyphr, at the moment this it is not possible. I will test possibilities therefore in future, but I'm busy with SlideToday. I don't know if it depends on pro vervion, so pass it along to pointui team!
Edit: I read this, so I think it should work. I will test it for future releases.

if you 'V ALIGN HOME BUTTONS TO THE BOTTOM' on VGA you can put another line of 5 in

...and with new version of pointui much more :-) it could be full size!
so to add more shortcut:
just edit your settings xml and add more nedes like:
...<app15><name></name><pos>15</pos></app15><app16><name></name><pos>16</pos></app16>...
...see first post

Would it be interesting if I posted here my version of your quicklaunch? :P
I put 4 app by row and am searchin right now how to put bigger icons (I'm so proud cause it's the first time ever I modify a code to fit my needs XD)
Jo_keks I just have a single problem, the + to add applications aren't centered with icons maybe if I show you the code you can tell me
if (a != "")
{
Appbtn btn;
tbl.GetValue("pos",helper);
helper -= 1;
Controls.Add(btn);
btn.Set(x,y,Device.AutoScaleValue(20),Device.AutoScaleValue(20),a);
btn.AddHelper(helper);
btn.removed = Reload;
if (x <= Device.AutoScaleValue(180))
{
x += Device.AutoScaleValue(64);
}
else
{
x = Device.AutoScaleValue(15);
y += Device.AutoScaleValue(60);
}
}
else
{
Applbl lbl;
tbl.GetValue("pos",helper);
helper -= 1;
Controls.Add(lbl);
lbl.Set(x,y,Device.AutoScaleValue(40),Device.AutoScaleValue(40));
lbl.AddHelper(helper);
lbl.ReloadNeeded = Reload;
if (x <= Device.AutoScaleValue(180))
{
x += Device.AutoScaleValue(45);
}
else
{
x = Device.AutoScaleValue(15);
y += Device.AutoScaleValue(45);
}
}
}
}
I modifyied values so that I add 4 icons per line, I prefer it that way (nicer IMO)

btn.Set(x,y,Device.AutoScaleValue(20),Device.AutoScaleValue(20),a);
"+" is aligned "Center","Center", you give the buttons space "AutoScaleValue(20)", icons are 36 (the size is given from windows! and can not be changed), to realy change the positions you need to set: x and y
if (x <= Device.AutoScaleValue(180)) //End of line
{
x += Device.AutoScaleValue(45); //next icon x
}
else
{
x = Device.AutoScaleValue(15); //new line
y += Device.AutoScaleValue(45);
}
imagine a square where x and y is top/left, "Device.AutoScaleValue(20)" is width and height, so because an icon is 36 you should take at least "Device.AutoScaleValue(36)"
maybe this helps

Oh I see, I thought that was making the icons higher or lower, didn't know it was icon size, maybe that's the problem, gonna take a look!
Thanks!

Hi!
Great applet.
But I need some help as it is not working properly on my SE XPERIA (WVGA).
I have installed the latest PointUI (2.0.30b) and when using the settings for 25 or 30 apps I get the following screen.
Thanks for your help.
Cheers,

Nice program can you add face contacts or make one for face contact thank you
roufs
Member
i second jammar! a quick launch application for contacts would be great!!!
jo_keks
Member
You just need to add the right application... or do i missunderstand?
Is it possible we can add setting menu shortcuts like "today", "buttons", "storage manager" and so on? It will be great if we can do that...
MarkRain

to jammar: FaceContact is a today plugin, i think it cannot "be launched" with a button

Thanks jo_keks for the wonderful app..unfortunately, i still can't seem to get it to show 30 applications on my xperia.
A general inquiry however, is there a way to hack the 'my applications' tab to show more shortcuts instead?
jo_keks
Member
sorry for the late reply, was busy...
i added a new release wich should work for all devices now.
in fact you can add all link files, so with if you're familiar with windows mobile (or got some tools) it should be possible to create linkfiles to settings menu

Excellent work again jo_keks! Well done.

I have the same issue as tribaleps on my Xperia. It shows less than 30 applications, the other one become visible when scrolling to the next applet (on the right).
jo_keks

To be honest, at the moment I don't know exactly why it doesn't work on some devices.
Strages tested for me uncountable versions but we can't find a solution.
I'll attache the latest version, there is nothing in the code why it should not work - please report.
Maybe an other dev could take a look at it and give me a hint...
