How do you assign the volume controls to the rocker switch on the side or the nav pad on a dell axim?.

In each device in Pronto CCF file editor. When yousee the picture of the Pronto you program the 4 buttons on the side.

Clint, I use the navigation buttons for my setup buttons, which usually have an up, down, left,right and select buttons. Obviously if you assign the volume up and down to the up and down navigation buttons you loose the ability to use the navigation buttons for that purpuse. I guess it's a matter of individual prefrence.

I know what you mean. My custom CCF for the DVD player has little buttons for going left right up down enter. I am thinking about reprogramming that one screen to handle this as it is a pain when going through the menu on the DVD. On all others though I do like that as standardized volume.

I have been having a dickens of a time trying to get hard buttons to work for volume control in PDAWin on my dell.

Can someone help me with the mapping of the hard buttons in prontoedit or tonto to the actual keys and the rocker on the Axim? I'd like to use the little rocker for volume control, and keep the navigation pad available for cursor control and select for menus in my replay or other devices, but I can't figure out how to set this!

Netremote lets you bind the various hard keys to pronto virtual hard keys during the set up. Is there a way to do that with pdawin?

Also, is there a way to always insure that pdawin starts up when the dell wakes up? I am trying to help with wife use the dell as a remote, but when she wakes it up, she holds the power button down too long and the Dell goes into it's start menu. I would like to lock the pdawin application into the foreground if that's possible.

TIA!
Mike

Mike,
Below is the basic setup of the navigation buttons from PDAWin.
In CCF mode, PDA buttons are assign as follows:

keypad up: + volume.
keypad down: - volume.
keypad left: - prog. ch
keypad right: + prog. ch
keypad middle: mute
another 4 keys are placed as they are in ProntoProEdit.
I have mine setup so that the up, down, left, right and enter buttons use the navigation pad and I use 2 of the 4 hard buttons for volume + and - and the other 2 hard buttons to dim and brighten my X10 lights.
As far as the Axiom waking up in TV Remote Controler, I have the home button (the far right button) set so that when the Axiom is asleep and you press the home button it automatically wakes up in the TV Remote Controller program.
Hope that helps, Arnie...

Arnie, thanks for the note. How do you assign up,down, left, right to the navigation pad if PDAwin maps them to volume +/- and channel +/-? Or do I have to do that in the CCF? If so, how do the 4 hard buttons show up in the prontoedit? The 4 normal hard buttons below the screen?

I gather that the rocker is mapped to the same keys as the up and down on the navigation pad? Is there any way to use it for a different function? I'd love to use it for volume and pressing it in for mute...

Thanks,
Mike

I've been through this in the last couple of weeks for an Ipaq, although I believe the principles are the same.

You can't map the keys in a visble way, you just have to remember the assignments in the earlier post. To program the rocker up key, assign actions to what ProntoEdit calls Volume +, for rocker down assign actions to Volume - etc etc.

I use left and far left for volume +/-, and right and far right for channel +/-

Have fun. Have you tried Tonto. Big improvement on Prontoedit!
