Description:
sbsList = Side Buttons Shopping List.
Sliding with finger is not useful in resistive screens because you get too many unwanted clicks, so I made this little program as a shopping list and usable with any hand.
Top buttons do page scroll and the next take you to first or last item.
The bottom buttons call the menu. From the menu, the select mode can be invoked so the needed items can be selected.
Returning to shopping mode you can start to buy. In this mode, first click change the colour of the item. Clicking in a changed item makes it disappear. This way you don't miss an items because of an unwanted click.
Different lists can be loaded from the menu and it remembers last used lists.
The program can save the list status i.e., marked/unmarked/bought items. But the program can neither create lists nor change the items order.
Lists must be created with a text editor or word processor saving it as text, i.e. without any format.
The list file can only has lines with the format:
N;article name
where N is 0, 1, 2 or 3
For all you care, when an item is marked to buy N is 3.
Two examples are included: "demo" and super".
Installation:
There isn't an installer. You choose the zip file correspondig to your device, unzip it and place the files into a folder in your device memory or storage card. Then execute "sbsList".
The zip file contains the program, the texts file and two (by now) other texts files (English and Spanish). The texts file is a copy of one of the others.
To change the language rename the right file to "sbsl_msg".
It is programmed in Basic4ppc. According to the Basic4ppc language creator, it works in WM2003 SE, WM5, WM6 includiing 6.1 and 6.5. It works in devices with and without touch screen (smartphones or Windows Mobile Standard), but this program needs a touch screen.
The program works in 800x480, 640x480 and 320x240 screens. It has been tested in a HTC Touch Diamond 2, a HTC Touch Diamond and a HTC S300.
