I would like implement some basic support for the 5-way navigator in an application I'm maintaining. I already use the "up" and "down" directions, by looking for keyDownEvent with chr == vchrPageUp and vchrPageDown. So far, so good.

BUT: no such luck; I never see such events. >Whenever I press left, right, or center, I get keyDownEvents with chr == >vchrPalmMin+3 and chr == vchrResetAutoOff; never any keyHoldEvent or >keyUpEvent (which the API docs lead me to expect I should get, since these are >hardware keys). Is there a device-independent way to read the 5-way navigator? I notice that all the apps I have on my T|E, including all the standard apps *and* all third-party apps, at least support the "hold center to quit" behavior, so I'm guessing it can be done, but the docs I got with the SDK are no help (or maybe I just can't figure out where to look). Any help would be appreciated! - Thomas -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
