There's no nice way to do this. Here are three ideas I had:
1) You could queue up three button presses for the hardware button assigned to
DateBook. The first would switch to DateBook. The remaining two would cycle around to
the month view. This is terrible for many reason's, one of which is that you don't
know if DateBook is assigned to any of the buttons.
2) Queue a control select event on the month view push button (ID 1014 in the 3.0
version of DateBook) and then switch to DateBook. This (and the previous idea) may not
work because the event queue may be flushed when switching apps. In that case, you
could schedule an alarm for your app and then queue the event when you get the alarm.
At best this is an ugly solution.
3) The right way to do this kind of thing is to send the app a goto launch code, but
this won't work for DateBook since it only goes to the day view or note view when it
gets a goto launch code.
Sorry.
