I too am also having a similar problem. I have it setup so that when a user
presses a certain button (usually 1st hard key) a custom menu pops up. It is
basically a list with a bitmap drawn over the border. I give the user the
option to scroll the list with the 5-way up or down (or in the case of a
device with no 5-way, pageUp or pageDown. If the user wants to select
something, he/she presses the 5-way select button. The problem is, some
options in the list pop-up a form. If you select an object that pops-up a
form, the form is immediatly drawn, then is closed because a 5-way select
was passed to it (or the system). I have tried passing handled = true after
doing what I need to, but that does not work.
Here is my code:
case keyDownEvent:
if (event->data.keyDown.chr == pageUpChr
#ifdef HAVE_PALMONE_SDK
|| event->data.keyDown.chr == keyRockerUp
#endif
) {
if (StrNCaselessCompare(g->Url,"internal:open",13)!=0){
if (optMenuOpen == true && g_prefs.mode == MODE_ONEHAND) {
frm = FrmGetActiveForm();
lst = FrmGetObjectPtr(frm, FrmGetObjectIndex(frm,
listOptions));
lstItem = LstGetSelection (lst);
lstTotal = LstGetNumberOfItems (lst);
if (lstItem == 0){
LstSetSelection (lst, lstTotal-1);
}
else {
LstSetSelection (lst, lstItem-1);
}
} else {
deactivateInputFld(g);
fiveWayUp(g);
}
//scrollUp(g);
}
} else if (event->data.keyDown.chr == pageDownChr
#ifdef HAVE_PALMONE_SDK
|| event->data.keyDown.chr == keyRockerDown
#endif
) {
if (StrNCaselessCompare(g->Url,"internal:open",13)!=0){
if (optMenuOpen == true && g_prefs.mode == MODE_ONEHAND) {
frm = FrmGetActiveForm();
lst = FrmGetObjectPtr(frm, FrmGetObjectIndex(frm,
listOptions));
lstItem = LstGetSelection (lst);
lstTotal = LstGetNumberOfItems (lst);
if (lstItem == lstTotal-1){
LstSetSelection (lst, 0);
}
else {
LstSetSelection (lst, lstItem+1);
}
} else {
deactivateInputFld(g);
fiveWayDown(g);
}
//scrollDown (g);
}
}
#ifdef HAVE_PALMONE_SDK
else if(event->data.keyDown.chr == vchrNavChange) {
if(keyCode & navBitRight){
if (optMenuOpen == true && g_prefs.mode == MODE_ONEHAND) {
CtlHitControl((ControlPtr)FrmGetObjectPtr(FrmGetActiveForm(),FrmGetObjectInd
ex(FrmGetActiveForm(),buttonSoftOneb)));
} else {
deactivateInputFld(g);
scrollDown(g);
}
}
if(keyCode & navBitLeft){
if (optMenuOpen == true && g_prefs.mode == MODE_ONEHAND) {
CtlHitControl((ControlPtr)FrmGetObjectPtr(FrmGetActiveForm(),FrmGetObjectInd
ex(FrmGetActiveForm(),buttonSoftOneb)));
} else {
deactivateInputFld(g);
scrollUp(g);
}
}
if(keyCode & navBitSelect){
if (optMenuOpen == true && g_prefs.mode == MODE_ONEHAND) {
handled = browserHandleOptionsList(LstGetSelection(FrmGetObjectPtr(frm,
FrmGetObjectIndex(frm, listOptions))),g);
} else {
fiveWaySelect(g);
}
}
} else if(event->data.keyDown.chr == keyRockerRight) {
if (optMenuOpen == true && g_prefs.mode == MODE_ONEHAND) {
CtlHitControl((ControlPtr)FrmGetObjectPtr(FrmGetActiveForm(),FrmGetObjectInd
ex(FrmGetActiveForm(),buttonSoftOneb)));
} else {
deactivateInputFld(g);
scrollDown(g);
}
} else if(event->data.keyDown.chr == keyRockerLeft) {
if (optMenuOpen == true && g_prefs.mode == MODE_ONEHAND) {
CtlHitControl((ControlPtr)FrmGetObjectPtr(FrmGetActiveForm(),FrmGetObjectInd
ex(FrmGetActiveForm(),buttonSoftOneb)));
} else {
deactivateInputFld(g);
scrollUp(g);
}
} else if(event->data.keyDown.chr == keyRockerCenter) {
if (optMenuOpen == true && g_prefs.mode == MODE_ONEHAND) {
handled = browserHandleOptionsList(LstGetSelection(FrmGetObjectPtr(frm,
FrmGetObjectIndex(frm, listOptions))),g);
} else {
fiveWaySelect(g);
}
}
#endif
break;
There is some messy stuff in there, but I decided to leave it so that you
could see what I was doing. The code for some reason does not work on a
LifeDrive or T5.
Thanks,
