This is an old project from many years ago. I havent any plan to update this code.
Unlike many software input methods Phone Keypad covers large screen area and has keys that are large enough to be typed with finger-tips, not with a stylus. It is very handy for entering numbers. Phone Keypad also features a close interaction with other Pocket PC programs. It runs as an input method in Soft Input Panel (SIP), Pocket PC native technique for entering text.
- Simple layout
- Large keys that can be pressed with fingers
- Integration with any Pocket PC applications
- Ideal input method for entering numbers
- Numeric/alphanumeric mode with localization support
Make sure your system meets the following minimum requirements before installation.
- Windows Mobile 6 Classic/Professional
- WVGA screen resolution 800x480
After you have downloaded the Phone Keypad distribution file you should install it to your device. For a successful installation you will need a Pocket PC device attached to your Windows desktop PC. You will also need Microsoft ActiveSync software (on Windows XP SP2 or earlier) or Windows Mobile Device Center (if you have Windows Vista). Copy CAB file to your device and run it from your device.
To remove the product from your device:
- Go to Start menu > Settings
- Open System and tap on Remove Programs
- Select Phone Keypad from the list and tap on the Remove button
- Choose Yes to confirm removing
Key sequence for alphanumeric mode is stored in file "keys.txt". Phone keypad try to find this file in folder "\Program Files\PhoneKeypad<LCID>", then use default file "\Program Files\PhoneKeypad\keys.txt". Locale IDs can be found at [Locale IDs Assigned by Microsoft] (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/goglobal/bb964664.aspx), please use decimal value of LCID.
