I have a WM6 HTC device that refuses to type in letters when I use the slide out physical button keyboard. The symptom is as if the "fn" button is frozen in place and will not allow typed letter entries for those textbox from compact framework. Numbers are fine. The Stylus driven keyboard works fine and nd non-.net framework projects do not exhibit this problem. Anyone know of a pointer to a fix for this problem? Thanks -sam |

Sounds like a hardware problem to me. Have you hard-reset the device? That will return all of the software to the factory default. If that doesn't fix it, it's not a software problem. Paul T.

We have two devices that exhibit the same symptom. Office Mobile and other apps not developed in .net compact framwork seems to work just fine. "Paul G.

Ah! You can write a new simple .NET CF program, Hello, World, with an TextBox in it and you'll get the same behavior? No components of yours, just Microsoft stuff... Paul T. |

Yes. I've tested it out with a simple Hello World and received the same problematic behavior. "Paul G. Tobey [eMVP]" wrote: Ah! You can write a new simple .NET CF program, Hello, World, with an TextBox in it and you'll get the same behavior? No components of yours, just Microsoft stuff... Paul T. |

It sounds like they have implemented their hard keyboard in some 'funny' way. I'll ask around. What specific model is affected? Paul T.

The devices are HTC Mogul from Sprint. http://www.america.htc.com/products/mogul/default.html "Paul G.

OK, this is confirmed by MS as a known issue with HTC devices Mogul and Cavalier. HTC will have to fix it, so the best you can do for now is lean on them and stick with native code, I guess. Paul T.
