So far I remember, the question was:
Is there a way to detect that a user has tapped the
menu button? I have an app that updates the screen
every 5 seconds. I need to be able to detect when the
menu is displayed to disable the updating. Otherwise
the call to redraw the screen corrupts the displayed
menu. I didn't see an appropriate event (besides the
penDown event). Any suggestions?
And IAs I have the same problem, I thinks this answer IS one of the simplest
answer.
