Menus on Smartphone

[Pocket Rocket]

I am developing an application for Smartphone using the .Net Compact
Framework. I am trying to open a menu in response to click for SoftKey1.
The framework is throwing a NotSupportedException. I also have a menu
opening on response to the SoftKey2 click. That works fine. Is there a
restriction on opening menus in response to SoftKey1 click in Smartphone?
Thanks for your help.

The left softkey can only have a single item associated with it, not a
cascading menu like the right softkey, this restriction is detailed in the
official FAQ, unfortunately it is not enforced by the Visual Studio designer
which means programs can compile without errors but fail at runtime.

Your menu can only contain a single item for the left soft-key and a submenu
on the right-hand soft-key. For more details see the FAQ section on
Smartphone:-
