get function key event in text box

[Benjamin Lukner]

Hi!

I have an Intermec CK30 Windows CE device without touch screen.
I've built a new button control to handle keys.

Now my (last?) problem is to leave a text box.
The Key_Press event is included in CF, but Key_Down and Key_Up events
aren't.

How do I get an event of any function key there?
It doesn't matter if it's ESC, F1... or TAB.
Isn't there any key_preview property like in recent VB versions?
Is there any way to catch the key via API? I could then "listen" to it
between TextBox.GotFocus and TextBox.LostFocus...


Kind regards,

Benjamin Lukner

You can use an IMessageFilter implementation with the ApplicationEx Run
method found in the SDF. See www.opennetcf.org/sdf.
