Screen Orientation command file?

I want to set the rotate screen function to one of the softkeys, using Tweaks 2k2 program. Question is, does anyone know where I can find the .exe program that changes the screen orientation on my Axim X51?

I need to point to the command to make the change.

Why do it in Tweaks2k2 when the built in stuff can do it for you?

Go to Start -> Settings -> Buttons and assign whatever button you like to "<Rotate Screen>", it should be near the top of the list of things you can assign.

I think it's to one of his softkeys he wants to assign it. I can't see any .exe file for screen, either (or for record, which I wanted to assign).

Ah, sorry, my bad. Should've read a bit more closely ;)

How's about giving this program a try and assigning it to the Softkey....

Screen orientation

Thanks. That file looks like it's only for WM2003 not WM5. I have all of my buttons already assigned to functions I use quite regularly, hence wanting to dedicate the soft button on the bottom to this function.

If you have sktools, you could use the shortcut wizard to create shortcuts that rotate the scree in different ways. Not tried that though because I assigned hard key to do that.

A free option is to use mortbutton to map more than one functions into a hard key, that way you could keep your hard key assignments while adding more. mortbutton itself has a function to rotate the screen, or even rotate the screen for a particular apps only.

So you're not going to even *try* the program because it *looks* like it's for WM2003se rather than WM5. Newsflash, a lot of WM2003 software works on WM5.

Not only did I waste half an hour of my own time to find some software that you could have found using Google, I've now wasted another 5 minutes putting it onto my device.

And what do you know, it actually works! It does exactly what you want and you would have a program you can assign to a softbutton.

I Looked for hours for an .exe but i believ there isnt one. The workaround: using iLauncher v.3 set a quicklaunch as rotate screen and then set the quicklaunch as the softkey.
