In CF SP2 if I press ESC in a text control on my app, the app crashes and I
have to reset my machine to get my app to restart. I can't even go to the
Task Manager to close it, it must be a soft reset.

Has anyone else come across this problem? If so, are there any known
workarounds or fixes?

Thanks.
Atley
 
Hi Atley,

We are not aware of any issues like this. I tried a simple textbox, but I
don't see this repro. Could you send me some code that shows the problem?

Thanks,
-Katie

There is no code involved, just a form with textboxes, nothing on any of the
controls events.

I am using an iPaq 2200 with a HP external keyboard.

I also have CF SP2 installed and this problem has only occurred since
installing the SP.

I can recreate this problem every time...

Hi Atley,

Thanks for the info. By any chance does your app have a caption (form.Text
= "Something")? Things won't show up in the task manager without a
caption. I'm wondering if the escape key is somehow wired to minimize your
app. I notice that there isn't an 'Escape' key under the PPC SIP keyboard.

Also, what did you have installed before SP2 - was it V1 or SP1?

Thanks,
-Katie

Hi Atley,

I was able to get ahold of an HP external keyboard - and I do see what
you're talking about. In fact, the form is just sent to the background (as
if it was minimized) - it hasn't crashed or closed. It seems as though
this is how Pocket PC handles the escape key, since this also occurs with
other native applications.

To re-activate your app, simply ensure that there is text associated with
the form, and select it form the task manager. Or you can click on the
application's .exe file again and it will be activated.
