Hi,


I'm trying to assign one of the hardware keys to my program. What is the
best way of doing it?

Thanks in advance,
 
Hi Pete,

Thanks for the fast answer but it does not do what I want, the code
provided allow you to capture a key when your program is running, what I
need is a way to assign a hardware key to a program, so instead of calling
Calendar it calls my application. I think there is some hack in the registry
but I havent found a confirmed way of doing it.


Cheers,

Use OpenNETCF SDF for modifying the registry.
