Hi



As promised, here is the finger friendly input panel I've been working on. It is intended for users of 800x480 devices, and the size has been optimised to work with SkyDemon as far as possible.







The DLL and a copy of regsvrce can be found here



I can't really give any support for installing this at the minute, but the instructions are as follows:-



Copy both files into the Windows folder of your device.

Launch regsvrce.exe

Enter 'skysip.dll' into the box and tap OK

You now need to select the SkyDemon SIP. There are various ways of doing this - you can either do it in control panel, or by tapping the keyboard/pencil icon at the bottom right of the taskbar.



If you don't have access to your desktop, then you won't be able to use this for now.



I am planning in the future to package it up so it will work on devices that don't have access to the Windows CE shell. It shouldn't be an issue to integrate it into MioPocket for those people who are using that.



Please do not pester me about this though. It'll be done when it's done! Alternatively, now I've done the difficult bit, perhaps someone else could package it?

A lot of devices restore themselves to factory settings after each reboot.



You're going to need a script to automatically copy, register and activate the SIP each time you launch SD.



Please download this file



Unzip it into a folder called SIP on the root of your memory card.



Next, edit the file SkyDemonLaunch.mscr

Run("\SDMMC\SIP\TaskbarHide.exe")

Sleep(250)

Copy("\SDMMC\SIP\skysip.dll", "\Windows\skysip.dll")

RunWait("\SDMMC\SIP\regsvrce.exe", "/s \Windows\skysip.dll")

RunWait("\SDMMC\SIP\sipchange.exe")

RunWait("\SDMMC\SkyDemon.exe")

RunWait("\SDMMC\SIP\TaskbarShow.exe")

The bits in bold above need changing to the name of your storage card. The above assumes SkyDemon is stored in the root of your SD card. If this is not the case, you'll need to change the penultimate line.



Finally, change your navigation path to point at SkyDemonLaunch.exe instead of your SkyDemon executable



If your device is one where you had to rename the SkyDemon executable to get it to run, then rename that back to SkyDemon.exe and instead rename the two SkyDemonLaunch files to (for example) FreedomCE.exe and FreedomCE.mscr. If you need to, you can move these files out of the SIP folder, but if you do this, you must also move the MortScript.exe file.



A side effect of doing the above will be that the SkyDemon plan software will be able to find and update your copy of SkyDemon InFlight without you needing to copy the file each time.



One final thing I'll probably write is a SIP selector that automatically selects the SkyDemon SIP without needing any user input. It may just be a registry key that needs settings - I'll investigate when I get a minute.



Enjoy!
