We had the problem that the T3 didn't say where its silk screen buttons were, so we tried doing it the more direct route - any pen tap outside the "client" area was just passed right to the system. This allowed every silk button on the T3 to work like a dream!
EXCEPT - we found out that on EVERY OTHER PalmOS 5 device, be it Simulator or Real, this didn't work. For some reason, passing on pen taps only generated the correct keyDown events for Launcher, Alpha_pad, and Numeric_pad. Tapping on menu, find, or anything else would be handled by the system but NOT generate a keyDown message. (Or generate bogus keys like Page Up / Page Down / Full Stop.)
Any thoughts out there on what about the state of our app could cause the system to not generate silk screen presses when it handles penDown events? Again, this only appears to be an OS 5 issue, but it even effects Sonys.
Thanks for your help. - Jeff
