Power key function

[GD666]

Hello,

I'm developing a device application using the C# on .NET 2005. I'm developing this application for HP iPAQ rx5915 device. My question is that I want to show a message before clicking the POWER KEY. How can i do that?

Best Regards

This is very tricky as it doesn't exist in the Windows.Forms.K eys library. I assume you would need some sort of device specific API to tackle that problem. Or there may be some form of Device Power down/shutdown event to catch, but I feel that might be quite tricky as it will probably dispose of your app.

You should be able to subscribe to power manager events. When the system goes into shutdown or suspended mode you will get a message. You can also check the OEM specific keys to see if any of them fire when you press the power button. There won't be any thing obvious like OEM_PWR but OEMs usually map their special keys to OEM_* keys.
