Sorry if this question has already been asked, I've searched the forums for this but can't find anything. Does anyone know of any software that will allow you to put customizable shortcuts on the ribbon. Or, if anyone knows j2me and could help me with the code, I know how to compile it with the JDE, I don't know the java language though. Specifically, I'd like to be able to put an icon on my ribbon that would open the browser and go to a particular web page. I could use the same code and just change the web address associated with it. Any help is greatly appreciated!

I was going to ask that too.

Anybody...

Hello Hello Hello....
Is there anybody in here?
AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!

Sorry, I couldn't resist!

Does anyone have an answer for this?

Is that a cricket I hear.......
Or was it a pin drop?

Definitely a cricket.

Maybe there's no response because no one knows how to customize shortcuts on the ribbon. I'm guessing it's not a user addressable feature.

Thanks for the reply, bgate and I were getting kind of lonely!

Nope, not a user addressable feature. I'm pretty sure it would have to be done with a MIDlet, should be pretty simple (if you know the language of course). You would just need a MIDlet that puts an icon on your ribbon, and when you click on the icon, it would open the browser to a web page. I know it can be done, because the app berry411 does this. It opens the browser from within the app to get the information you ask for. If you have the code, you could just edit it for whatever web site you would want it to open, compile it, change the icon if you choose, and load it with the JDE and javaloader. The latter 3 I can do... and I'm attempting to learn java, just for this. But I mostly use BASIC and VisualBASIC so it's not an easy thing for me to figure out. If anyone knows anyone who knows java, and could supply you with the code, I can do everything else, get it working and post it here for anyone to use. Thanks for your reply DavidE!

You reminded me of the, "can you hear me now" guy...

Ha, wish I'd thought of that!

Update (if anyone cares)...

I have been able to put together an app that will work on the JDE simulator, but it uses a blackberry controlled API, problem is, before I can load it onto an actual device, the .cod file has to be signed by RIM. From what I read, this costs $100! I don't want a shortcut on my ribbon that bad!!!!!!! Am I reading this right? Anyone have any comments or suggestions?
Thanks
