 Hi, I'm writing an application for a windows mobile 5.0 smartphone.

I wonder if it is possible to reconfigure the talk, end, home and back key
in managed code (with C#). I already tried to capture the F3 and F4 keys in
the eventhandler for the KeyDown-event, but that didn't work. Is there a
possibility to enable them?

I already searched in this Discussion Group, but couldn't find answers.
Please help!

Thanks in advance, Markus.

 Hi,

Did you set the property KeyPreview of your Form to true?

Hi, thanks for your answer.

KeyPreview is true, also tried it with false, I tried capturing the
KeyDown-Event in the form aswell as in the Control-Object which lies in the
form. It seems as if the system is blocking the handling of this Key-Events.
Has anybody an idea?

Hi,

Talk,end etc are known as HotKeys.To get the notification,when one of them
has been pressed, to your application you would need to use RegisterHotKey()
and handle WM_HOTKEY message.Don't forget to use UnregisterHotKey() once you
are done.
Note: do some googling and you would find code sample on how to use it in C#

Hope it helps
