its basicly an alt tab program, its like the vista alt tab on pc where it shows an actual preview image of all the open programs, if you click on the image it switches to the desired open program.
has anyone got anything simular to this app?
or...
would anyone be willing to make an app alost exactly like this?
(wm6.1 wvga)
Thanks!

Two other alternatives
Two other alternatives to this program are;
3D ALT TAB -=[ not running on my PPC anymore ]=-
and
wkTASK -=[ running on my PPC, activated via hardware button ]=-
wkTASK shares features of both Task Manager and Program Launcher for Windows Mobile 5/6. You can switch all running programs smoothly like desktop Windows, and launch applications easily.
Features
* Task-list

With both these applications why the need to develop another task switcher??!
Hope this helps,
plain Alt-Tabing, with no bells or whistles, can be done with LMT Launcher:
LMT is a tool for the HD2 that launches a program when perform single touch or multitouch gestures on the screen. You can connect internal commands and external apps to any gesture LMT supports.
Commands
* “CloseLMT” -> close LMT
* “CloseApp” -> close the foreground app
* “Learn” -> activate learn mode
* “Back” -> send back key
* “Start” -> start menu
* “Lock” -> lock phone
* “Phone” -> start Phone app
* “Up” -> send Dpad up
* “Down” -> send Dpad down
* “Left” -> send Dpad left
* “Right” -> send Dpad right
* “PrevApp” -> switch to previous app (Alt-Tab feature)
* “NextApp” -> switch to next app (Alt-Tab feature)
* “Home” -> switch to Homescreen
* “Rotate” -> rotate screen
* “Controller” -> activate the controller mode

i already have wktask, which is a brilliant app but i made my topbar transparent and unfortunatly wktask does not support transparency so wktask stands out and looks dodgy :/
which is why im looking for a new app for alt-tab - i turned all the other features it has off, i only used it for the topbar icons for alt-tab
the 3d-alt-tab app looks like it may be what im looking for, ive downloaded it and i will test it later, ill post back with feedback.. hopefully its exactly what im looking for

RE: Feedback
*LMT did not work with my blackstone, guess its just for hd2..
*3D Alt-Tab works but not properly.. slightly buggy also its not what i wanted :/
cheers though dude's, muchly appreciated
iv searched xda for alt tab but not found anything else, (actually i found alttab.exe but not at all what im hoping for) i guess its now down to development.
ill make a picture and upload soon, basicly to show what im hoping for, or just to give ideas, no point in writing lots of crap talking sh*t when a picture is a thousand words
* it will be mainly based on the idea of miniflow and the vista alt-tab.
if anyone wants to develop please feel free, just let me know, maybe i can help somehow
Rn
...
(apart from the ones mentioned) there are no other decent alt-tab apps avaliable so ive made a picture of one just for an idea.
hopefully someone will pick up on this and develop it for us WM geeks
this is basicly what im looking for, if its not avaliable then i guess its an idea
the basic layout for the alt tab app i want, eg:
*swipe gestures, left or right to change to which app you want.. obviously lol, but with no animations so its faster and wont rape my ram
*swipe down to open the desired app, so it simply opens the app but again with no animations.
*swipe up to cancel and exit, maybe add an animation on exit.
???
Totally not alt tab, though oh so powerfull when used under a hardware button!
I've got to mention dotFred's Task Manager; http://www.dotfred.net/TaskMgr.htm
This program runs as a SERViCE !!! Activated on my device via double click on a hardware button.

FAQ
Q. I want to move and resize a Task-list.
A. To move and resize it, tap&drag the edge or adjust values in Preference->General1->Offsets.
Q. I cannot see any directories except "My Documents" to configure the skins and launcher.
A. It is a bad culture of Window Mobile and Pocket PC. To see all directories, install FileDialogChanger and gsgetfile for international(direct link).
Q. I would like to translate WkTASK to my native language. / The translation is a bit off.
A. Thank you for your help. I will create a MUI file from your mapping table and upload to this site. Please send me the table which format is as follows:
[English Text 1] [TAB] [Translated Text 1]
[English Text 2] [TAB] [Translated Text 2]

Hey,
Great software. Two things though. First, when activated by vertical drag the launcher shows but hides immediately after lifting the stylus to tap an application. Second, is there a way to adjust the hight of the task bar? It leaves a few pixels from the top and bottom and when I click the start menu white shadow shows behind the bar.
Thanks,
dEM
Anyone..?
i've been using WkTask for about a week.
If i use the launcher it stays ther so i can tap as many boxes as i want. Its not a feature i use though so have not loaded any apps into it.
dont think you can resize the task bar, but that said i have not noticed any white lines. (apart fromthe battary life indicator cross the top)

Stupid me! Thanx!
In my Taskbar I have ActiveSync listed and one other executable which I would like to hide because if they are active all the time, there isn't much point in having them displayed (when I terminate both of them, they come straight back).
What is the path to disable AS from the taskmanager as it does not show up when I look for it from within WkTask?
Also, I presume the executable is TF3D as when I terminate that, TF3D closes and restarts. Anyone know how to hide that executable if it TF3D?
Regards

Hold your stylus on the app you want to hide and after a second a menu pops up where you can choose to always hide it. There is an option in the preferences 1st page to 'always show' so that must be switched off as well.
The TF3D app is named 'Start', repeat the above for it too.
Holding the stylus on the close button also beings up a menu which includes the option of hiding.
Excellent, thanks, worked a treat.

....hence the reason I have stuck with the schaps roms!
what i meant to put was a more advanced FILE manager!lol. the in built one is pretty basic and well, kinda crap. something along the lines of resco explorer, with each 'line' shaded in alternating colours to allow you to see it better. better ZIP and RAR integration also, the ability to assign file extensions to specific programs (a nicer and cleaner method to the registry technique)
at the moment i am using the 4.2 rom for hermes and im very very happy! i 'accidentally' discovered the finger scrolling technique and now PCM is redundant, saves more space. and is pretty nifty!

Well, an "advanced file manager" is also one of my plans for future softs... But I have a load of things to develop for now, so it will be for later.
Is it possible to start your task manager minimized at start up?
this looks really nice can't wait to give it a try. keep up the good work
I hate to think that this beautiful piece of software is for PPC only. Would it work on SP? Thanks
Can someone explan me, what "virtual memory" in the forth screenshot stands for?
works great on my touch thanks for this app. altho it would be nice to have to minimize on startup
I just keep getting the eternal spinning cursor when I run this program...then I have to hit the 'End' key and returns to normal.
Any suggestions?
bump for an awesome program.
schap - just wondering if there's an update to this version. Would love to see one ewith memory usage in the applications and processes tabs, and also maybe a bit more info on the performance (not performances! ) tab?

Just so I'm clear, what kind of help are you asking for at this stage? I can help test the product but I haven't done any mobile development.
If you haven't done developement just Keep trying it and report bugs! If you have special wishes or ideas for the GUI you are welcome
Im just programming the Launcher Part
All I'm after is an app that uses motion for unlocking. In the purest form it can be like the iPhone unlocker where there's a bar to slide but, unlike S2SU, the bar should be positionable and it shouldn't write over anything else on the screen. That means if you have something like SpB Mobile Shell, when your phone is locked it shows the Now screen. I would want to see the Now screen still. Here's a mockup:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
More advanced features can be things like custom-defined motions for unlocking including no visual hints which in effect will function like a password. As for functionality outside of unlocking...it doesn't really interest me because so many other applications already do that. Is there something you need tested now? When I ran it, it didn't seem like it was at that stage yet.

IMHO, "Invisible Lock Screen" and "Gesture to Unlock" are 2 distinct challenges. I agree it would be cool to combine the 2. But you may need to prioritize those 2 efforts.
My personal opinion would be to implement a small, very efficient gesture recognition module that generates an event based on the a successful gesture match. It would be like "Gesture 2 Action". Then others like A_C could perhaps integrate or make it an option for S2U2. With G2A, then again, it could be used to do anything - launch an app, set an alarm, disable bluetooth, etc...
The invisible lock screen would be nice also, but I think it presents entirely different challenges.
I will reupload Preview B in some minutes, there you will be able to Launch programs by Gestures
You can configurate it in a text file
Scilor, aren't there already apps that launch programs via gesture? Touch Commander is one. I'm sure there are more. What are your development priorities?

I guess what I'm after is what's not available now. To start, a very simple low-impact unlock slider that doesn't override the visible screen, and to finish a custom-motion unlocker with option to hide the visible hint i.e. slider track.

That's true. If the primary purpose of this new app will be to one-up Touch Commander with complex gestures, I guess that would be something new.
I just Uploaded the new Version!
now you can launch programs with it (configuratible in the gestures.cfg)
interesting app, works on my touch. Thanks!
I just uploaded a new Version Alpha 0.0.1
I little improved the gesture recognition and made it a littel bit Skinnable
Iam Primary working on a Launcher, because i dont' know how to block buttons, if iam able to do this, i will implent the Locking function
interesting project but in future it should be possible to make gestures in any app!
ZLaunchy - version 0.2
This is still an early beta, so some things might not work
ZLaunchy was written mainly for those who like the way Windows Mobile dialer allows searching for contacts in a T9-like way - so that finding Adam means choosing 2326 in the phone application. ZLaunchy uses the same idea to run programs on your device. What it does is gives you a dialer keypad and when you type in a series of digits, it searches for all programs that match - for example to start Internet Explorer, start typing 4683 - Internet Explorer and Internet Sharing should show up in the result list.
Application performs a search using all items in the Start Menu. It also skips showing application icons, which causes it to work faster than usual application launchers. This makes ZLaunchy a perfect candidate for an application that's bound to a hardware key (using system settings) and have it always handy when you want to find an application quickly.
In order to search for a particular text as beginning of words, type the specified digits - for example 4683 to find Internet explorer. In order to search for specified letter(s) not only at beginning of words, add "1" at the end - for example 4681 will find PowerPoint Mobile.

Download - QVGA, WVGA, VGA, WVGA:
http://www.endorser.org/wm/zlaunchy
Change history for version 0.2
* Added support for square QVGA (240x240 and 320x320) devices
* Support for entering digits or text using hardware keyboard
* Configuration panel - vibration feedback, additional search location
* Added possibility of searching My Documents and one additional directory (multiple directories coming soon)
* Searching for strings not only at beginning of words (by appending 1 at the end)
* Optionally run on startup - starts and hides ZLaunchy in the background
* Minor bugfixes
Plans for future releases
* More configuration options
* Configurable, easily switchable "profiles" - i.e. "start menu", my documents, custom directories
* Ability to search in settings items - not sure on how to list items in there from C#
* Multi-language support - both translations and better locale-specific searching (only supports English and Polish nicely for now)
* Support for theming (result list and buttons separately)
Very cool... I don't think I'll need it but I like the idea. Nice work.
thanks for the app anyway, BUT...
you should have mentioned that this app was for VGA only...
you could have saved an install and an uninstall for me dude!

This shouldn't be VGA only. That's why it's still 0.1 - not quite final yet.
EDIT: Fixed - some screw-up in the CAB creation. Now there's a separate QVGA/VGA installer that works fine on both.
@dredd - care to retry?
Great concept seriously !
Oh my god that program is just AWESOME.
That's the thing i missed all the time on my WiMo-phone. On my computer, i'm only starting programs with launchy, it's much more faster than browsing a start-menu or something like that.
If you need help, ask me. I'm quite experienced with photoshop and also can help you with translations (german).
A version with a full QWERTY-keyboard (that covers 3/4 of the screen) would be great too.
Great idea! Wonder if I can use it like filemanager too? I'm always searching for a cab on my storage card. This is brilliant!..
I'll assign it to a button for quick launch.
Thanks for sharing..
Works great! Smooth, fast , Vibration feedback, finger scrolling! Very smart!
Thankyou very cool app anyway to turn off haptic feedback? If not could you implement for future release
Great stuff!
How about options to search for other file type by name? Photos, docs, etc? \
Might make it even more powerful.
As I sad, this is great!
wow it's really fast. thanks. maybe an option to remove the vibration in the next release?
interesting concept! going to try right now...

As for help, if you want to make a better theme (I suck at graphics), PM me. We can work it out. As for translations, there are only 2 texts for now, but when I add in the configuration panel, then I would use your help.

Yeah, that's part of the TODO list. Engine is quite generic, so adding in My Documents or custom folder (i.e. *.cab in \Storage Card\installs) is mainly configuration issue. That's for v0.2 or a bit later.

Yes, one of the first things that needs to get done - a configuration panel.

Then you should install VGA one - although the page now clearly states it.
Very nice and useful app for me. Thank you very much!
Two quick concepts (VGA, without keyboard), one with icons and one without. The blue color indicates that this is the selected item.
The three results are chosen at random, they are only placeholders to see what it will look like
If you need these resources for a future release, call me.
gotta try this!! I've been looking for this functionality for so long!!!! thanks amigo!!!!
doesn't work on my i-mate ultimate 8150!yellow and white screen
Hi All,
I've made another one-line code application that could be useful for somebody... (as for me)
Send WinKey is tiny application that is emulating click (rather pressing button) of Windows Key... *
You can use it while binding / mapping your hardware keys (ex Xperia, Touch Pro etc.) when You need the "fast" opening of Start menu (not touching screen but pressing the button...)
before:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
after:
it's simple... and tiny...
*yesssss... I know that MortScript has got that kind of options... but ...
not everybody needs to have mortscript installed... or not everybody wants to edit those lines of scripts/codes... etc) cheers...

Very good work.
I use it on my diamond assigned to a hardkey, because I've hide the bottom bar !
Very useful, thank you very much
Can you do the same thing but directly to the programs menu of the start menu ??? a direct link to the programs ?
Thank you !
Very good app. Been searching for a long time something like this. On htc hd is quite difficult in some positions to reach with the finger the windows flag in the top left bar to open the start menu. So I put a shortcut of the SendWinKey in the first app box of the Manila Sense homescreen.
Nice job! waiting for an update, of course
one more tiny usefull app, thanks!
Nice .exe - exactly what I was looking for - put the .exe it in my ROM, hope that's ok
Xkan, no problem great to hear that You're using this app in Your ROM great news !
Great man, really useful for me! Thanks .
Very hand app.
This is a very useful app - many thanks for it.
Would it be possible in some future version, to allow arguments in a shortcut so it could open a particular start menu subfolder?
So you could create a shortcut along the lines of “SendWinKey.exe \Windows\Start Menu\Tools\”
This would then open the tools folder, but in the style of the start menu/offset grid view, rather than through the file explorer view?
This way you could create a series of shortcuts to open particular start menu subfolders and effectively create a series of "HTC Action Screen" style panels simply using the usual start menu.
I've tried using the modified "folderview.exe" cab from this forum, but it opens folders in the older style windows (WM6.1) rather than the sliding grid (WM6.5) style.
Thanks again, much appreciated.
Cheers,
Andy.
HTC Touch Pro 2 << HTC TyTn2 << HTC Wizard
Ah yes, before I forget: Could you also make it possible to open the Settings folder (Control Panel) directly in Honeycomb style?
Yeah, Settings folder direct would be great.
thnx, works on wm 6.1 and 6.5 (smartphone), if you use the app makes the same function as the hardware button
greetings from mexico

Related story:
I read I needed the 'HTC scroll' dll to be able to scroll in a program and installed 'ASerg HTC Scrolling.cab' on my HTC touch Diamond. Result after soft-reset: non-functioning touch screen. :-( Which also meant no access to the settings to un-install. My phone was set up as an USB-drive, instead of in ActiveSync mode, so remote clicking of 'start' didn't work either. I tried to install your .cab file, but I couldn't select the 'install' button either. :-S
Extracted the .cab file, renamed 'SENDWI~1.001' to SendWinKey.exe and copied it to the 'USB-drive' phone.
Now, because I connected the USB-drive again, the 'windows explorer' switched from USB-drive to the internal memory, with no way to switch back.
Eventually I was able to launch your program by first launching 'total commander' (which was luckily enough still looking at the storage card)
Thanks for saving my day!
Indeed a really nice app. Thanks a lot.
that`s great,i want to know how to make a shortcut for start menu,can u help me ?
Tied this in on my TP2 running stock 2.5.2012 and MMAppLaunch / Quick Link as a fail safe to gain Win Start Menu (short story similar to post 17), great app thank you.
