This  documentation applies to the latest version 3.8 of Automatic Keylock.

Page 1 (General):

On this page, general settings for the application are set.

• Keylock
  This checkbox enables an disables the automatic keylock.
• Screen saver
  With this checkbox you can en- and disable the screen saver.
• Home screen only
  If this box is checked, keypad lock and screen saver are only enabled if the phone was on the home screen before. This way, all applications are excluded.
• Locking mode
  You can select here if the program should only lock the keypad or if it should do a device lock. If you select "device lock" here, you have to enable the device lock of Windows Mobile by selecting Settings->Security->Enable phone lock from start menu. It is wise to select a large timeout there.
• Excludes
  You can define several applications which you want to exclude from the automatic keylock and the screen saver. The list box below controls how the applications are selected:
  • If you select "Simple mode", there are 4 checkboxes to select a pre-defined application to exclude. You can select the Windows Media Player, Internet Explorer, the HTC Camera application and BetaPlayer/TCPMP.
  • If this does not suit your needs, you can select "Advanced mode". In the edit field below you can enter a list of executable names you want to exclude. You can separate them by any character you wish.
    e.g.: Camera.exe;Mapopolis.exe;player.exe
• Unlock automatically
  If this option is selected, the keypad is automatically unlocked if one of the applications excluded above comes to the foreground.

Page 2 (Timeouts)

The settings on this page control when the keypad lock is applied.

• Timeout in home screen
  After the time given here, the keylock is applied and/or the screen saver is launched if one of the following windows is in the foreground:
  • home screen
  • dial screen
  • start menu
• Timeout in applications If none of the above were in the foreground, the keypad and/or screen saver are launched after this time.
• Refresh interval
  This is the refresh interval for the profile settings.

Page 3 (Special profiles)

There are several cases in which the program can optionally behave diferently:

• The phone is charged. Charging via USB is not detected if the battery is fully charged on WM2K3 devices. This is an OS limitation!
• The phone is in "headset" profile.
• The phone is in "handsfree" profile.
• The phone is in "car" profile.

For each of these cases, there are some or all of the options mentioned below:

• Disable keylock
  When the matching case applies, the keypad won't be locked automatically any longer.
• Unlock automatically
  If the keylock also should be removed, you have to check this option. This only works if keypad lock is selected as lock mode on page 1.
• Disable screen saver
  The screen saver is disabled if the matching case applies if this option is set.
• Do not disable display
  If this option is set, the display is not turned off (no power saving).
• Enable backlight
  The backlight can be switched on permanently with this option.
• Enable Bluetooth
  Bluetooth can be switched to discoverable with this option. After charging ends, the state before charging is restored.

Page 4-1 (Screen saver - General)

With these options, you can influence the appearance of the screen saver.

• Moving clock
  If this option is set, the clock moves vertically once in a minute. If it is not set, it rests in the middle of the screen.
• Suppress key presses
  The "Suppress key presses" option is meant for people who only use the screen saver and not the keypad lock: If this option is set and the screen saver is active, a key press only disables the screen saver and does nothing more.
• Color scheme
  You can select between several color schemes here:
  • Standard colors (white on black)
  • Standard colors (inverted) (black on white)
  • From home screen (colors of the softkey bar)
  • From home screen (inverted)
• Date format
  You can select between short and long date here. You can control how the date is formatted via Settings->Regional Settings in start menu.

Page 4-2 (Screen saver - Layout)

On this page, you can select the layout of the screen saver.

There is a maximum of 8 lines which can be displayed. For each line, size and font face can be configured.

You can select the line which should be configured with the first list box on this page. The second list box selects the content:

• Not used (this line is not shown at all)
• Digital clock (this line shows a text clock)
• Analog clock (an analog clock is shown - don't forget to set a larger size!)
• Date
• Missed calls & messages (this line shows information how many calls and messages you have missed)
• Phone status (status informatio: signal, battery, profile, temperature)
• Network operator
• CellProfileSwitcher (CPS)
• Status icons (icons which show the current state of the phone)
  Currently, there are the following icons available:
  
  • Missed calls
  • Missed messages
  • Weak signal
  • Phone is roaming
  • Wek battery
  • Battery is charging
  • Keypad or device lock activated
  • Alarm is set
  • Ringtone is set to silent
  • Bluetooth is activated
  • WiFi is enabled/connecting/connected (WM5 only)
  • Unconditional call forwarding is enabled
    
• Line break (this line creates some space between two other lines) 

If the status and CPS lines are selected, there are check boxes which allow to control the contents of this line. This way it is possible to have several status or CPS lines with different content.

• Status and CPS information
  With these options, you can disable certain elements of the status and CPS lines.

Page 5 (Notifications)

If you have missed calls and/or missed messages, Automatic Keylock has some options to call your attention on this. With the first 3 check boxes, you can select of which events you want to be reminded:

• Missed calls
• Missed messages
• Missed reminders (WM5 only)

 If there is a missed event, there are the following reminder actions:

• Blink green LED faster
  Automatic Keylock can make the green LED on the top of your phone blink faster (1.5 second interval instead of 3 second interval). Unfortunately, due to unknown reasons this does not work on all devices at the moment.
• Enable backlight
  On a missed item, Automatic Keylock can enable the backlight for a certain amount of time.
• Blink interval
  To create even more attention, the backlight can optionally blink. You can set the blink interval (on time) here. The blinking has a 50% duty cycle, so the off time will match the on time.
• Play sound
  A wave file can be played in regular intervals when there is a new message. In the first list box you can select the interval and in the second the wave file to be played. The program looks for the wave files in the following directories:
• \Storage\Application Data\Sounds (WM2K3); \Application Data\Sounds (WM5)
• \Storage Card\My Documents
• \Storage Card\My Documents\My Sounds
• Vibration interval
  The phone can be made vibrating when there is a missed item. In regular intervals, there will be a long-short-long vibration. The interval can be set with this option.

Registry settings

For the advanced users, there are some registry values which allow deeper control of the program. They are located below the registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\maniac\AutoKeylock.

The following values can be set:

By default, these values do not exist. If you want to use them, you have to create these values with the appropriate types. To reset the the behaviour to the defaults, simply delete those values.

The key codes for the keystrokes are as following:
