I have had a request to do a custom application for a Windows Mobile 5 application. Ok, fine, not a problem at all. Easy stuff, query a database and display some info.

There is one issue, though. The QWERTY keyboard on the device I am using only works in "function" mode, not text mode. I've been scouring the internet trying to find a solution for how to change my application's default input mode to text, and I have come up blank.

Is anyone here familiar with .Net Compact Framework development for Pocket PC systems under VB.Net?

If so, I'd really appreciate the help!

Thanks in advance!

I'm pretty sure this is device dependant - I know symbol units have a file that lets you re-map any key on the keyboard. When you use this file, there is no way to override it. It basically changes the keycode that each key sends. So, it depends on "how" the device has been programmed to work only in function mode, I guess.
