If you want to run a simulated Windows Mobile device, installing the Windows Mobile 5.0 SDK can be a challenge. For starters, the SDK is about 175MB, then there’s the fact that it only works with Visual Studio 2005. If...

Is there anyway of removing the F6 F7 (Volume Control) keys in Windows Mobile?

If so please could you e-mail these to me, or at least remind me of this thread - I've looked everywhere and they seem to be hardcoded and connot be changed, I'm sure they can somehow! ;)

Many thanks

I also am looking for a way of re-mapping the F1, F2 as well as the volume controls. I am running a Terminal Server and having PPC 5.0 remote into this TS to access SAP. Opera is the browser that I am having connect to the SAP webconsole because Opera support key mapping. When I run the console on my laptop, the F1 and F2 work fine, however it does not work on the PPC.

Is there any mapping for FN on QWERTY smartphone? Seems like it's the only way to enter a slash (/), because "?/" key on the PC doesn't enter "/" no matter what the shift state is.

Those mappings also work if connect a BlueTooth keyboard to a WM6 Smartphone. (Yeah, I tried it for kicks. Sure made emails easier!)

Hi,

I am using windows mobile 6 professional device. The device has side keys for volume up and down.

I was to know how can I capture the events thrown by the side keys.

Here is the snippet of the code I wrote(it didn't work )

private void Form1_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)

{

MessageBox.Show("Key Down\n" + e.KeyCode);

}

private void Form1_KeyPress(object sender, KeyPressEventArgs e)

{

MessageBox.Show("Key Press\n" + e.KeyChar);

}

private void Form1_KeyUp(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)

{

MessageBox.Show("Key Up\n" + e.KeyCode);

}

Please suggest me how should I proceed.
