Hello All,

I have a listview control and in it I use keyboard input to search using the LVN_KEY... notificaiton. The problem I am having is the keys that come through.

For the keyboard keys that are NOT numeric, I get normal character codes, for the keys that double as numbers I get numbers.

I've tried overriding the IME to set the listview to a certain type so I get letters instead of numbers, but it's not working also tried setting the input mode with the aygshell IME extensions, but that doesn't work either.

Any thoughts? Any successes?

Thanks,
Kenny.

case VK_PROCESSKEY :
{
UINT VkCode = ImmGetVirtualKey(hWnd);
if (VkCode == VK_PROCESSKEY)
{
HIMC hImc = ImmGetContext(hWnd);
if (hImc)
{
PINPUTCONTEXT pContext = ImmLockIMC(hImc);
if (pContext)
{
VkCode = pContext->uSavedVKey;
if(VK_F1==VkCode ||VK_F2==VkCode)
{
SendMessage(hParent, message, VkCode, lParam);
}
ImmUnlockIMC(hImc);
}
ImmReleaseContext(hWnd, hImc);
}
}
}
break;

If there is IME i s enable you can use above code in listwndproc.
If there is no IME concpet related then while creating the list window
probably some attibutes o f window need to change , if this code has been ported from wince to window mobile.

good luck

Hi Matrixlnmi169,

you're a lifesaver! Thank you so much for the code you posted. I was having a really hard time translating the vk_processkey on the moto blackjack 1. Your code set me in the right direction!

Take care and thanks!
