Catch hard key

[PatrikL]

On forum Samsung Omnia i900 a Omnia II i8000 fórum - rady, tipy, triky a dal?í • Obsah is user with handicap (dont have fingers), so he use stilus in mouth. And he want create photos but on Omnia 2 is special hardware button for taking pictures. I try catch this button but without success. Also AEButtons cant catch this button. Is here somebody skilled to catch this specific button?

Thanx.

The camera button has keycode 0x405b but I don't know how you can catch it.

From SamsungMobile.com:

"We don't publish a list of keycodes for keys that are proprietary to our devices. Also, many of these (camera, lock, etc.) are going to be caught at a lower level - like how the camera button will always launch the camera. Even if you do catch that keycode, there's not a way to get around the camera app starting (other than changing the ROM, which we don't support)."

Now I can try create application which can be connected with button on front face of Omnia 2 and which simulate pressing of camera button.

Thanks.

Edit:
I create simple prog which try emaulate key, but 5B=91 (0x405b) dont run camera, so I try generate codes from 0 to ...

I found this:
114,370 - green key
115,371 - midle button
117,373 - volume up key
118,374 - volume down key
134,389 - lock screen
223 - off screen / hibernate device
347 - windows menu

but still no camera button..

Maybe its my fault, but key code is 0x405b, thats means 16475, but if i use
hardw.KeyPress(16475) Basic4PPC raised error, that this value is incorrect. So I try only last part (according Kiosk example) 5b = 91

And also no succes. Please explain me where is problem.


Here is discusion about correct key code

I think that you can't catch that key by standard methods(keypress).

I have spent several hours looking for the solution with no success, but i'm nos a .net expert.

I have tried the keycode program in my omnia2 and it can capture all keys except camera key.
