Choosing How to Change Keypad Registry Settings
There are several ways to change the keypad registry settings:
• You can use a registry editing program to change the keypad registry
entries. You can run the Microsoft eMbedded Visual C++ Remote Regis-
try Editor on your PC, using ActiveSync to connect to the CN2B Com-
puter. Or you can download and run a third-party registry editing
program on your CN2B Computer. After you make your changes, you
need to perform a warm boot on the CN2B Computer for the changes to
take effect. For help, see “Performing a Warm-Boot” on page 11.
• You can write an application to change the keypad registry entries. An
application gives you a convenient way to customize multiple CN2B
Computers. Make sure your application sets the named event
KeybdSettingsChangeEvent after you change the registry entries for the
changes to take effect.
• You can use a .CAB file to edit the registry. You can install the
_ResetMePlease_.txt file in your .CAB file to force a warm boot to acti-
vate the changes.
Note that remapping the keys in this way affects the key mapping for the
entire system, not just for the application that does the remapping.
Planes
There are three “planes” supported for the CN2B keypad. Keys used in
more than one shift plane must be described in each plane.
Unshifted Plane
The unshifted plane contains values from the keypad when not pressed
with other keys, such as the following:
Press the Key To Enter This
[1] 1
[5] 5
[9] 9
Orange Plane
The orange plane contains values from the keypad when a key is simulta-
neously pressed with the orange key, such as the following:
Press the Keys To Enter This
orange [0] Start menu
orange [6] A4
orange [9] PgDn
