Expanding a mainmenu in c# cf app with no mouse/pointer

[lewis]

I have encountered a problem with my c# compact framework app where i
have created a main menu which works perfectly within the emulator,
however, the device i am developing for has no mouse or pointer input.
is there any way of getting the focus to the menu via keys only? like
pressing alt in most windows apps?
thanks in advance!

A possible solution would be to add key press handling code to your form
(Ensure you are running SP2 which has improved support for keyboard events),
and programmatically raise the menu by simulating a mouse tap e.g. P/Invoke
mouse_event.
