Configuring the Button Helper Utility

If you have a Pocket PC device, one of the files that was transferred over to the mobile device is ButtonHelper.exe.

Note: If you installed DataSplice manually on the mobile device, you will need to physically execute the ButtonHelper.exe file by browsing to it in File Explorer and tapping it. If you installed DataSplice on the mobile device using Windmill, the file will automatically be executed.
This application facilitates the binding of DataSplice actions to the hot keys on Pocket PC. This application takes command line parameters (such as /newRecord) and posts the appropriate message to the running instance of DataSplice. This means that shortcuts can be made that perform the specified action, which in turn can be bound to device hot keys in the Control Panel. To set up hot keys for DataSplice actions, perform the following steps:

  1. On the Pocket PC device, click Start > Settings.
  2. On the Personal tab, click the Buttons icon.
  3. In the Button column, select which button you would like to map an action to.
  4. In the Button assignment selection dropdown list, pick the action you want to associate with the selected button. The DataSplice actions will begin with DataSplice -. For example, to assign the DataSplice Search function to a button, you would select DataSplice - Search from the dropdown list.
  5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for the other buttons you wish to set. Click OK in the upper right corner when you are finished.

The following list shows which actions are available for hot key mapping:

  • Clear Screen
  • Commit Changes
  • Delete Record
  • Get Offline Data
  • Login Screen
  • Narrow Search
  • Navigate Back
  • New Record
