Hello folks,
I would like to make my application react to the user pressing the middle
button of the 5-way control on Tungsten E - more specifically, I want when this
button is pressed, the effect to be the same as when the user taps on the
default button on the form.
So far I have found the following:
1) For this to work, the form must have a default button assigned to it (of
course).
2) The form must be a modal form.
If the above is true, no particular code is required from the application -
pressing the middle button of the 5-way control simulates tapping on the
default button. There is one exception, though - it doesn't work for the main
form, even if it is made a modal form.
My questions are:
How do I make this work on any kind of form - modeless forms and/or the main
form? Is there some particular attribute that I must take care to set for the
form? Or do I have to handle the pressing of this button in my application and
react accordingly?
If the latter - how do I do that? The Knowledge Base mentions something about
the "vchrRocker characters" - but I couldn't find an example of how to actually
use them. What kind of event type do I get when this button is pressed and how
do I check for it? I tried
switch (eventP->eType)
{
case keyDownEvent:
switch (eventP->data.keyDown.chr)
{
case vchrHardRockerCenter:
case vchrRockerCenter:
FrmAlert (CenterButtonPressed);
handled = true;
break;
default:
break;
}
break;
}
but it doesn't seem to work.
Regards,
Vesselin
