Override Volume up/down with HTC or Sony Ericson Phones

[Guest kikekoikan]

Hello,

I want to get the volume up/down key events in my application.

To do that I create a menu bar and then receive the event in WM_HOTKEY or WM_KEYUP. This method works well with Samsung phones or emulator but not with HTC phones.

Here is my code :

Creation of the menu bar in WM_CREATE :

SHMENUBARINFO mbi;

memset(&mbi, 0, sizeof(SHMENUBARINFO));

mbi.cbSize = sizeof(SHMENUBARINFO);

mbi.hwndParent = hWnd;

mbi.nToolBarId = IDR_MENU;

mbi.hInstRes = g_hInst;

if (!SHCreateMenuBar(&mbi))

{

g_hWndMenuBar = NULL;

}

else

{

g_hWndMenuBar = mbi.hwndMB;

SendMessage(g_hWndMenuBar, SHCMBM_OVERRIDEKEY, VK_TVOLUMEUP,MAKELPARAM (SHMBOF_NODEFAULT | SHMBOF_NOTIFY,SHMBOF_NODEFAULT | SHMBOF_NOTIFY));

SendMessage(g_hWndMenuBar, SHCMBM_OVERRIDEKEY, VK_TVOLUMEDOWN,MAKELPARAM (SHMBOF_NODEFAULT | SHMBOF_NOTIFY,SHMBOF_NODEFAULT | SHMBOF_NOTIFY));

}

Receive the event in WM_KEYUP :

case WM_KEYUP:

{

switch(wParam)

{

case VK_TVOLUMEUP:

{

}

break;

case VK_TVOLUMEDOWN:

{

}

break;

default:

break;

}

break;

}
