Strange behavoir on KeyDown in CompactFramework

[J Holzer]

Hi! I have a Motorola MC7090 that runs a .Net Compact Framework - application. On the mainform i catch the "KeyDown"-Event, which work fine for "regular" keys. As the MC7090 (as most Windows Mobile devices) has some custom keys, two for volume (+/-) on the left side, and another key on the right side. When i open the application i get a key-down-event from this key on the right side. After klicking a button on the touchscreen the event is not longer thrown. All other keys (keypad 1-9, etc...) work fine. Just this one key is not working. Unfortunately my customner wants exacly this key to work. Does anyone have any idea how i could make this key work? Thanx! J.

Try overriding WndProc and checking for the message manually?

That was my emergency-solution. The big question is why an event is raised in the beginning, but not after a button was pressed... That´s kind of strange to me...
