Simulate a Menu Click Event

[Christopher Pragash]

Hello All,

How do I simulate a menu click event in .NET Compact Framework from a
keyboard. I want to activate the menu and show the menu options when the
user presses the "Enter" key on the form. I am able to trap the "Enter" key,
but there seems to be no menu.show or any other option for that. Any
thoughts or suggestions on this?

Thanks,
Chris

PInvoking mouse_event is one option

Not right now but I am working on a related blog entry that might cover
this...

In the mean time, searching the ng shows that this has been discussed
before:

You must have sussed it out by now but for the archives...

Example using mouse_event to open a menu is here (you may ignore the fact
that it is part of a 3 part story):
