Try mapping your application to all of your application
buttons.
Here's how you can do that:
PrefSetPreference( prefHard2CharAppCreator, appFileCreator );
Where appFileCreator is defined as your creator id (aka STRT).
This example sets your application to the 2nd application button,
the others are:
prefHard1CharAppCreator
prefHard3CharAppCreator
prefHard4CharAppCreator
The power key itself isn't in the SystemPreferencesChoice structure,
but the character is:
hardPowerChr
and you can do a keymask type thing for that if you wanted to.
if (event.eType == keyDownEvent &&
event.data.keyDown.chr == hardPowerChr &&
!(event.data.keyDown.modifiers & poweredOnKeyMask))
{
// Do whatever you want
}
However, taking complete control of the buttons may not always be
the kind of thing you really want to do to your users...they pay
good money for a handheld computer, and they don't want to be stuck
in one persistant program. Perhaps you could map 1 application
button of your choice to your app, then label that button with your
application as a application loading button?
