MS - PLEASE HELP (ListView, Back Key)

[Hilton]

Hi,

Your UI guidelines state that we need to treat the Back Key appropriately
(on the SP). However, your ListView doesn't seem to behave correctly. Do
you have any suggestions on how we can 'intercept' the Back Key when a
ListView has the focus, then do something and set Handled=true?

Thanks,

Hilton

Hook up the KeyDown event:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.control.keydown.aspx

Then in your event handler code something like this:

switch(e.KeyCode)
{
case Keys.Back:
MessageBox.Show("Back key pressed");
break;
}

Simon,

Thanks for the reply. That sure would be nice, but MS have a bug and the
Back key doesn't get to KeyPress.

I just verified it in VS2005 and it works without fail. Are you grabbing
the right event?

It works for me, I'ved used this loads of times. Can you post a code sample?

Simon, macleod,

Are you running it on CF 2.0 or CF 1.0? On 1.0 all the key presses are
caught except Back Key?

public Form1 ()
{
InitializeComponent ();

this.lv.KeyPress += new KeyPressEventHandler (this.lv_KeyPress);
}

void lv_KeyPress (object sender, KeyPressEventArgs kpea)
{
MessageBox.Show (kpea.KeyChar.ToString ());
}

Thanks,

Hilton

Yes, did you try it with a ListView?
