Hello,

1 ) With one PDA WM6, I want to block some physical touches
(as windows touch..).
Do you know the register key for this operation?

2) Is it possible to forbid the SMS/MMS, messenger use in the PDA?

Best regards
 
I don't understand question #1. "Some physical touches" doesn't say
anything to me. That could mean virtually anything from blocking touches on
a particular area of the screen to blocking the use of certain hardware
buttons on the device. You'll have to tell us what you mean in order for us
to try to help. You should NOT assume that something like a registry key is
going to exist to simply do what you want! That would be crazy.

2. The device OEM could do this. I'm not aware of anything as simple as a
setting to control this. You might be able to set a 'provisioning' setting
to prevent the delivery of text messages. I'm not sure I understand why
you'd want to make the phone LESS useful, though.

Hello,

Below the screen of PDA, I have four physical buttons:

In fact, I want block these buttons(stop the actions).
Is it possible?

Go to the Control Panel. Find the Buttons applet. Can you disable them
from that applet (or a device-specific one)? If so, you should be able to
figure out what registry setting, if any, controls that by exporting the
"before" and "after" registry using Remote Registry Editor and comparing
them to identify the differences.

The behaviour of the hardware buttons are typically controled via
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Keys (see the documentation
within the "Navigational control key bindings" section of the following MSDN
page - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa923204.aspx)

If you only need to control them within a specific application that you are
developing, the Microsoft.WindowsCE.HardwareButton class
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.windowsce.forms.hardwarebutton.aspx)
may be of interest to you.

Hope this helps,
Christopher Fairbairn
