dotnet compact framework: Hi Friends,

I am using menu in my form. By taping on menu I can be able to
open it. It comes by default. But here by using softkeys on key board
I want to open the menu. Can u one tell me how proceed for this?


Thanks in Advance,

Hi,

The easiest way is to make sure you are working with the Windows Mobile 5.0
SDK. For example in Visual Studio 2005, use Visual C#, and Smart Device, and
Windows Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC, and Device Application. By default a form with
a menu that supports soft keys is created.

The following article may help.

If you would like to support hard keys as well you could code that part
yourself:

private void menuItem1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
// your code here
}

private void Form1_KeyPress(object sender, KeyPressEventArgs e)
{
menuItem1_Click(this, new EventArgs());
}

Or you could just refactor the code:

private void menuItem1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
NewMethod();
}

private void Form1_KeyPress(object sender, KeyPressEventArgs e)
{
NewMethod();
}

private void NewMethod()
{
// your code here
}

hope that helps,
