Keyboard presence..

[~mono]

Hello!

(sorry for my english)

Is there any way to find the presence of full-sized keyboard on PPCs and smartphones (700w or MotoQ for example) ? I'm writing my own custom-gui app and I need to translate VK_0 - VK_9 events correctly into chars or numbers depending on keyboard/keypad type..

Sure. Just look for the HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell\HasKeyboard registry key. If it's 1, then the device has an Hardware Keyboard.

It's .NET managed code, but shoud give you the idea on how to interact with keyboard and remap keys. Among other things.

Note: this key is Vendor dependant. I got it on my TyTn, but I can't say for sure on a Treo.
