Windows Classic Home Screen Plug-in Selection
4/8/2010
The ability to navigate Windows Classic Home screen plug-ins using the hardware keypad was introduced in Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition.
Note
This section applies to the Windows Classic Home Screen Overview and not the new Windows Default Home Screen Overview.
The Windows Mobile Professional and Windows Mobile Classic Windows Classic Home screen can be operated with one hand and without the stylus. Because of this feature, Windows Classic Home screen items now receive selection notification messages. These messages are analogous to the WM_SETFOCUS and WM_KILLFOCUS messages that Windows Mobile software sends to child window controls. This section describes how to notify Windows Classic Home screen plug-ins of these notifications.
Windows Mobile software automatically handles the selection of Windows Classic Home screen plug-ins that have not been updated to support selection focus notifications. If you have plug-ins that have a response dependent on a screen tap, you must update your plug-ins to support selection focus notifications.
