Just to follow up, (For Mike's benefit, plus anyone else)
There's no event posted when the user releases a hard key. The only way
to detect is to continually poll the key states until the user releases.
The implications for battery life are there too - the more responsive you
want to be able to detect the release, the shorter timeout you'll put on
your event loop, and the worse the battery life would be.
Regards,
Howard.
