How does one detect hardware keypress input on SmartPhone device using VB.Net (SmartPhone; SmartDevice)?
Using VB.Net, how can user input via hardware button keypresses on a SmartPhone/SmartDevice be detected? I can't seem to find Smartphone info that addresses the hardware button input capture events.
Example: I am putting together a small application for a Motorola Q SmartPhone device using VB.Net. This device is Windows Mobile 5.0 OS....
.... any help is appreciated.

It's a great lead Mikal613, but I don't know how to really implement this... looks like C code to me.... I need a snippet of sample code in vb that shows something like a message box that results from soft-key Left or RIght input etc.... does anyone know this in vb.net?
ASKER
VB.Net answers please... I can find C# and C++ answers to this question----but I need some assistance with a sample that shows VB.Net code. I am not writing in C# or C++ .....

2000 POINTS FOR THIS ANSWER....I NEED HELP.

Is there anyone out there who has actually done this? Where are all these SmartPhone games on the internet coming from if no one knows how to get the input from the hardware buttons?.......

OK-----you're right Mikal613.... it works.....thanks a ton.
But this still leaves me with an issue: This code works for keyboard 'keys' such as 'R' or 'H' or 'ENTER' but it does not capture the RIGHT, LEFT, UP and DOWN or CENTER input from the navigation pad on the SmartPhone...... any ideas.....

can you put a breakpoint on the handlers and see if it even hits it

negative... If I specify 'Keys.Escape' and then hit the back/escape button on the keypad I get a hit count of '1'
If I specify 'Keys.Up' to use the up arrow pointer on the navigation button the hit count is always '0'

Thanks Mikal613.... I decided to give you the points and open the other issue as a new question. I told you I would give 2000 points, but I was not given that option when I closed this question.... if you can tell me how to do it I will see to it that you get the other 1500 points I stated I would give.....
