Read Phone Keys pressed

[roadster]

Hi everybody.

I am using visual studio 2005 and want to write an vb application for my htc kaiser on windows mobile 6.1 professional.

when I double click on the designers telephone button I get the following:

Private Sub Form1_KeyDown(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles MyBase.KeyDown
If (e.KeyCode = System.Windows.Forms.Keys.Up) Then
'Up
MsgBox("Up")
End If
If (e.KeyCode = System.Windows.Forms.Keys.Down) Then
'Down
End If
If (e.KeyCode = System.Windows.Forms.Keys.Left) Then
'Left
End If
If (e.KeyCode = System.Windows.Forms.Keys.Right) Then
'Right
End If
If (e.KeyCode = System.Windows.Forms.Keys.Enter) Then
'Enter
End If
End Sub

But what if I want to create an action on pressing the phone button or hangup button?

Do they have names I can use?

Is there a process in the background that prevents my application reading those keys? nothing happens what key I press...

are you trying to intercept the hardware keys or ar you talking about your own application with some phone buttons?

I am writing an own application with your dyntapi.dll

I am going to kill the process cprogr.exe so I can use the red and green telephone keys.
are those keys hardware keys?
Is it possible to use them for own applications?
if not I could also use own buttons on my form but it would be cool to use these buttons

It seems like you are trying to intercept with the phones applications. I am not sure if that is a wise idea because it might cause jamming on your other phones application. If I were you, I will just try to create my own codes if you want an animated buttons.

Hi
I am working in health & social sector. For every contact I have a limited amount of time every month, so I wrote an app to measure time for each of my clients. If I am called or do have to make a call my app automatically measures time of using the phone with each client. My app warns me when I am spending too much time for specific clients.
I don´t get more payment, it´s a kind of fixed price... So spending too much time results in unpayed work. That´s why I wrote it... Of course it´s not for public use, only for me in private
