DEBUG TIP:
In your main app event loop try:
if (!PreprocessEvent(&event)) { // Get an Event before the system handles
it!
if (!SysHandleEvent(&event)) {
if (!MenuHandleEvent(NULL, &event, &error)) {
if (!ApplicationHandleEvent(&event)) {
FrmDispatchEvent(&event);
}
}
}
}
This is generally useful for all sorts of difficulties when you may want to
do custom behavior that the default Palm handlers do not do.
in PreprocessEvent you have
...
case keyDownEvent:
// Tap on 123 silk screen area?
if (event->data.keyDown.chr == vchrKeyboardNumeric ) { //
GUESS this is right
// We will do something about this event instead of
system default
handled = true;
}
...
break;
...
I don't KNOW exact what event you will get.
But you can easily find out for yourself by setting a breakpoint inside this
just before you tap on the 123 area!

Unfortunately, my keyDownEvent handler doesn't even trigger a breakpoint
when the '123' is tapped, so it doens't appear to generate _any_ kind of key
event. At least, not one that my app ever sees.
