[RESOLVED] Disable Mobile Hardware Buttons

[pmd13]

Hi! I'm setting up a WM6 phone for Kiosk style. I got the max screen and so on but I can't seem to find any option in VS2008 to let me disable the HW buttons. I did find the website http://www.codeproject.com/KB/smart/CF_kiosk_mode.aspx
But its in C. I tried converting it to VB, but I get numerous errors.

For one
C:
public const int WM_HOTKEY = 0x0312;

VB:
Public Const WM_HOTKEY As Integer = 0x0312

I get an "End of Statement Expected"

I'm still pretty new at programming so if anyone can help me out I would appreciate it. Below is what I converted based off of the code you can download.

Imports System.Diagnostics
Imports System.Runtime.InteropServices
Imports Microsoft.Win32
Imports System.IO
Imports Microsoft.WindowsCE.Forms
Imports System.Windows.Forms

Public Class InternalMessageWindow
    Inherits MessageWindow
    Public Const WM_HOTKEY As Integer = 0x0312   
    Dim i As New InternalMessageWindow()
    Dim referedForm As New Form


    Public Sub internalMessageWindow(ByVal referedForm)
        i.referedForm = referedForm
    End Sub

    Protected Overrides Sub WndProc(ByRef msg As Message)

        Select Case msg.Msg

            Case WM_HOTKEY
                'Do no reply to this key ...

        End Select
        MyBase.WndProc(msg)
    End Sub
End Class
Public Enum KeyModifiers

    None = 0
    Alt = 1
    Control = 2
    Shift = 4
    Windows = 8
    Modkeyup = 0x1000

End Enum
Public Enum KeysHardware As Integer

    Hardware1 = 193
    Hardware2 = 194
    Hardware3 = 195
    Hardware4 = 196
End Enum
Public Class FormWithMessage
    Inherits Form
    Dim i As New FormWithMessage()
    Dim messagewindow As New InternalMessageWindow

    Public Sub FormWithMessage()

        i.messagewindow = New InternalMessageWindow(i)
        RegisterHKeys.RegisterRecordKey(i.messageWindow.Hwnd)
    End Sub
End Class
Public Class RegisterHKeys
    Dim modifiers As New KeyModifiers

    <DllImport("coredll.dll")> _
        Public Shared Sub RegisterHotKey(ByVal hWnd As IntPtr, ByVal id As Integer, ByVal Modifiers, ByVal key As Integer)
        ' handle to window 
        ' hot key identifier 
        ' key-modifier options 
        ' virtual-key code 

    End Sub
    <DllImport("coredll.dll")> _
    Private Shared Sub UnregisterFunc1(ByVal modifiers, ByVal keyID As Integer)
    End Sub

    Public Sub RegisterRecordKey(ByVal hWnd As IntPtr)

        UnregisterFunc1(KeyModifiers.Windows, KeysHardware.Hardware1)
        RegisterHotKey(hWnd, KeysHardware.Hardware1, KeyModifiers.Windows, KeysHardware.Hardware1)

        UnregisterFunc1(KeyModifiers.Windows, KeysHardware.Hardware2)
        RegisterHotKey(hWnd, KeysHardware.Hardware2, KeyModifiers.Windows, KeysHardware.Hardware2)

        UnregisterFunc1(KeyModifiers.Windows, (KeysHardware.Hardware3)
        RegisterHotKey(hWnd, KeysHardware.Hardware3, KeyModifiers.Windows, KeysHardware.Hardware3)

        UnregisterFunc1(KeyModifiers.Windows, KeysHardware.Hardware4)
        RegisterHotKey(hWnd, KeysHardware.Hardware4, KeyModifiers.Windows, KeysHardware.Hardware4)
    End Sub


End Class

Hi,
the code you got was from before there was hardware button support out of the box.
Stick a 'hardwarebutton' on your form from the toolbox, and handle the events in your main form.

I see what your saying! Thanks!
I also found a good video about it if anyone else is interested.
