Capture keys in listview?

[Guest danl]

I have keydown and keypress events defined for a listview--I need to detect keys while scrolling through a listview. But I can't figure out how to make them fire. What am I missing?

Since I am scrolling through the items of the listview, I think I can assume that the listview has focus. Although, is it really the item within the listview that has the focus? Is that why I'm not getting these events?

This is for WM2003? I've noticed that apps written for WM2002 will "seek" when you push a letter in abc mode for a listbox but it doesn't work in WM2003. A listbox of numbers will seek when you switch to 123 mode and push a number but abc doesn't work. It won't let you switch to T9. Do you suppose there is a bug in WM2003 listbox function?

Naah, not a bug. A lot of controls stop firing in WM2003. Happens both on the emulators and the real devices. I think there is a possible solution; overriding the ListView and writing custom event generators.

Fortunately, WM2003 SE allows capturing KeyPress/KeyDown/KeyUp events withing a ListView.....maybe some other controls too.
