Now, Where is that Electronic 'Cash'? -- CodeWallet Pro 2005 reviewed.

Posted by Don Tolson in "SOFTWARE" @ 10:00 AM


Previous versions of CodeWallet had some ability to create custom forms, but Pro 2005 takes this a considerable number of steps beyond. You can either start from one of the supplied card templates – adding or modifying the fields provided. Or, you can start from scratch and design a whole new card format. Once you’re done, if you save the card in the My Forms folder, it will become available as a selection template when the next New Card is created.


Figure 21: Designing a new card in Pro 2005.

The Custom Form Design provides a number of pre-defined field types, such as:
  • text – freeform, fist letter capitalized, or all letters capitalized;
  • Web Link / URL;
  • Email;
  • Telephone;
  • Password;
  • Date, Time or Date&Time;
  • Yes/No;
  • Checkbox;
  • Selection (drop-down) List.
Each of these types have either predefined formatting for display, and/or linkages built in to connect to the appropriate service.

There are also options for adding, deleting, and moving the fields up and down on the card.

Other Security Features
Pro 2005 includes a number of other security features to ensure that unwanted eyes do not get a peek at the contents of your wallet when you’re not around. CodeWallet will automatically shut down after a specified period of inactivity while a wallet is open. The default is 5 minutes, but this can be adjusted on the Menu/Options/Security menu.

Also, if you turn off your Pocket PC while CodeWallet Pro 2005 is running, the wallet will be automatically closed when the unit is powered back on.

New in Pro 2005 is the addition of an optional password ‘hint’ which is available when you create or change a password to a wallet.

If a password hint is provided, it will be displayed after 5 unsuccessful attempts to provide the password to your wallet.
