Is there a 720 programmer out there that could create two small programs to
do the following:

In most cases on the 720, there is some key sequence that can be used to
perform an action required which allows one to use only the keyboard and not
have to switch back and forth between stylus and keyboard.

There are two instances that this is not possible, that are used quite
frequently and I hope that a good WinCE programmer could write few small
.exe programs to address these fairly quickly.

Here are the rough specs:

1) Write an .exe program that will open the "notes" field on the microsoft
application that currently has windows focus. The program would perform
the same function as tapping the small notes "sub-window" in that
application. This would include applications such as contacts, tasks,
calendar. I believe these are the only applications that have that small
note window in them.

2) Write an .exe program that will perform the same task as tapping the "ok"
button on the notes edit window that currently has windows focus. This is
the function that needs to be performed after the notes editing has occured
after the 1st program is run.

Once these two exe programs are written, they can be mapped to keys using
"launch force" by ruksun technologies.

Then when one it creating a task and wants to edit a note, they could press
"window button - anykey". When they were done editing the note, the could
press "window button -> anotherkey".

I hope one of the enterprising programmers on this distribution could
quickly write a program like this and make it available to all. It would
greatly enhance the usability of the 720 and all other windows CE devices
with a keyboard.

Thanks in advance,

Steve Grotheer
