I implemented the fNav resources and support in my application using Codewarrior V5 and hand-coded resources. All I can say is "good luck" -- it is a very complex undertaking to define it all, but much more work to implement, as you have to have the code for moving the focus around in response to the 5-way keys. If you have scrolling areas on your forms, it gets a lot more complicated because you have to have different "modes" for navigation so you can use the up/down keypresses to either move the focus or scroll the information a page at a time depending on which mode is selected (play with some of the built-in apps to see how this works).

There is a document describing the "standard" way this is supposed to work, but I don't recall where it is online since it's been a while since I did all this.

Subject: Advice about 5-way Navigation

I have a fairly large application, with over 50 forms. Currently it has on support for 5-way navigation, and I would appreciate some advice on how to implement it.

I am using a very old version of CodeWarrior. Would this be a good timee to switch to PODS? Or can I generate resources with PiiRC, and include them in my CW build?

Are there any good references for fNav resources, or any guidelines for creating them?
