Why don keypad accelerators work with list boxes on Smartphone 2003?
When the Smartphone UI presents a list or menu, you can typically use the keypad to accelerate to the desired item by pressing the equivalent keypad item. For example, display your list of sounds or ringtones and pressing the “3” key advances you to the first item that starts with “d”. This functionality works fine with ROM applications on the phone, but you may find that applications you develop with Microsoft eMbedded Visual C++ or Microsoft Visual Studio do not honor these keypad combinations with list boxes. (These keypad combinations will be corrected in a future version of Smartphone.) You can also work around this issue by subclassing the target window and filtering the WMIMECOMPOSITION to manually select your list item.
