Using a Microsoft Smartphone device with the List Viewer

On Microsoft Smartphone devices, you can set up the List Viewer so that users can navigate listed data using keys on the device. By setting an onKeyPress handler for the list, you can make the device keys function as follows:

  • Arrow keys navigate into and out of the list.

  • Up and Down Arrow keys and the numbers 2 and 8 on the keypad scroll up and down the list.

  • Numbers 3 and 9 on the keypad page up and down the list.

  • Pressing 5, or the center button of the Dpad, selects the highlighted row and opens the Detail page.

  • Pressing 0 sorts the mimelist.

  • Pressing 0 repeatedly cycles through ascending and descending sorts on different columns.

For sample code that implements these features with the List Viewer on Microsoft Smartphone, see Master page for Microsoft Smartphone.
