Device Lock to Soft-Key on Tilt 8925

I have been looking around the forums and if this has been answered I could not find it.

I did find the hack to turn the PTT key to softkey.

But I would like the Push and Hold function to activate the device lock.

Is there anyway to assign device lock to softkey?

Thanks

Any suggestions?

I have the 'lock device' option that I can add to any button I choose in the settings > buttons menu. I know when I added SPB Pocket Plus it added some options for assigning tasks to buttons, so I don't know if the 'lock device' option is normal or not.

Hold down the end call key. It will lock the device.

Holding down the end call key does NOT lock my Tilt.

I did the registry edits so that I can remap the PTT key. I tried using \Windows\Keylock but that only brings up a window asking for which buttons won't be locked.

Can anyone tell me which file actually locks the phone?

I ended up installing AE button plus, which can do it. You can map just about anything to just about any button, and each button can have different things mapped to it via single, double, and triple clicks, plus click-hold. However, I did have problems mapping lock to the end key click-hold. I ended up mapping it to the right softkey click-hold. I decided to leave the two phone buttons alone, since I consider those to be fairly critical, and since those buttons sometimes have context specific use during calls. And also because I have had occasions on my old phone where I called someone by accident, and in my scurry to hang up before the call went through, ended up accidently locking the phone, only to be stuck in the call I didn't want to make.
