Map PDA Function Keys to Application

Hi All,
I am working on RFID module of standard MAM. I could read the RFID tags using this hyperlink by clicking on RFID icon, in the standard application. But here my requirement is user can be able read the tag using the keys on PDA.
i.e., when a user click on a function key(ex: F5,F4 etc), an event has to trigger and invoke the RFID function, without click on the RFID icon on the application.
Briefly, can we map the keys on the PDA to application, using the ASCII codes of the keys.
You help on this regard is highly appreciable.

Hi,
well, there is a great example in the SDK for .Net2.0CF. It is the Active Sync Exampple for C++. Take that as startpoint and implement the Keyboard codes in there. That is pretty much all you need to do. I am not in my office - I am at the customer at the moment - so unfortunately I have it not with me. But this is strsaight forward.
Hope it helps to get you running from there.
Regards,
Oliver

  • Map a function key to ctrl-z

    I'm looking for a way to get a function key (such as F12) to produce a ctrl-z combination. Can't find a way to do this, xmodmap wont map to combinations, xkb configuration seems waaayyy complicated. Is there something simpler?

    Thanks for that - I read the man pages now and modified it to
    "xdtool key ctrl+z"
    F12
    Works a treat. The reason I wanted to do this is to map one of the macro keys on my Aiptek tablet to undo so I don't have to keep reaching for the keyboard. So now I can set up other common shortcuts the same way. Lets hope it works with wine now
    Bit thanks

  • Using function keys in applications

    I'm writing some VBA code in excel, and although I think I should be able to get the Visual Basic editor to come up when I hit F11, or step through a macro with f8, what I get is the standard mac finder responses (f11-dashboard comes up, f8-I get that nice view of all my window in the front).
    How can I set my mac so the function keys in Excel work for the application?
    Thanks
    (Please don't hate me because I use Office, it's a job related thing--and I've grown to like it)

    Did you try adding Excel to the keyboard shortcuts of the keyboard and mouse preference pane? Click the plus sign in the bottom left and add Excel then put in function key definitions.

  • I want to re-map my function keys without pressing fn button

    Hi
    I have a new MBP
    I have unchecked the box that lets me use function keys for other than their original puroses
    So now I can use e.g. my last volume button to work instead as a Mission Control / Show desktop function that is really useful for me as I have one funcitonal hand.
    However I'd like to remap or reassign the function buttons. For example my F1 F2 now do nothing - I could assign them to certain other  functions, but I'd like to assign them back to screen brightness.
    Is there a way I can do this?
    And is there a way i can consign the dashboard to the bin, and use that button for something thats actually useful ?
    Thanks

    I did not explain myself because that is patently NOT true. I have 4 laptops at this time. In all of them when I press F5, it is F5 not screen brightness or what ever. In order to access the 'blue' functions like screen brightness, keyboard lights, speaker volume etc. I have to press and hold the fn key. However, on my Envy, I have to press and hold the fn key to access F5 rather than just turning on and off the keyboard lights. Now I wish I could reword this thread.
    OK. I don't claim to be perfect. I just looked at three of the notebooks currently at home The newest, which is a dv7-4180ea (HP loaner) has F keys is configured like on your Envy. The HP NX6320 and the Toshiba Satellite M305D have the F keys as main and have secondary functions. They are more straightforward with the use of the Fn key. It appears that it depends on what the manufacturers decided to do at the time.
    BTW if you look back at my unedited post you will see that I did indeed qualify my statement when I wrote it with the word some. So that is not a patently untrue statement. I try to choose my words carefully.  I will edit this post so you can see what I mean.

  • Mapping function keys in final cut

    how do you map the function keys of the keyboard to the functions in final cut pro? when i hit a function key, a dialog displays prompting me to assign the keys, but no instruction is offered

    Open the Keyboard control panel and check the Function Key settings; you can assign keys here, or you can change the setting so that the function keys act as regular function keys.

  • Is it possible to display the standard function keys in screen painter

    Hi ,
    I design a screen in se51 where I use push buttons and input/output buttons and so on in the layout, here in the layout or in my final output screen(when i assign this screen to a transaction) I would like to display other standard keys, ie the function keys and application toolbar items. I would like to know whether there is a possibility to do this , if yes then how?
    In a menu painter there is a possibility where I can customize the keys or I can use the standard keys by going to se41 extras->adjust template. Is there similar possibilities in the screen painter.

    Ok I see. I should use &var.

  • How can I use Automator to toggle the Function Keys?

    I am trying to create a Automated process to toggle the Function Keys on my keyboard. This is because I use several programs, including After Effects, which use the F1-12 keys, but when I am not using that program I commonly use the Apple-defined shortcuts on the keyboard. I have a full-sized keyboard, hence no Fn key. So that's out right away – I've read several comments on this topic where people suggested that this is the ONLY option. I refuse to beleive that.
    Automator contains a "Watch Me Do" feature, which I have tried to use to record this process. Problem is, it never clicks the right object. If I record clicking the dock, the magnification (I suspect) throws off the virtual-controlled mouse and picks the wrong object. If I record the Apple Menu route, it gets it about 1/2 the time.
    I think what I'm really looking for is a console command I can feed into the Terminal which toggles the keys. It seems to be that this HAS to be an option, even if it is more than one line of commands. I believe if I can feed this process into Automator, it would work.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance, Mac Geniuses!

    iKey lets you define function keys per application. You seem to want to turn on & off the defined apple keys.  Not sure if these keyboard re-mappers will do the trick.
    Here is my other most favored application. Of course, I haven't checked these out in newer OS's. I'm a Tiger man myself.
    iKey is a front end program that simulates typing and mouse movements. I use iKey to remap the Function keys.
    "iKey is an automation utility, a program that creates shortcuts to accomplish repetitive tasks. In essence, an iKey shortcut is a little program in its own right, but you don't need to know the first thing about programming to create an iKey shortcut. All you have to do is put together three necessary parts of a shortcut: One or more commands that give the shortcut its functionality, a context in which it runs, and a launcher that defines how the shortcut is activated."
    http://www.scriptsoftware.com/ikey/
    iKey  has a little more function then the previous free version called youpi key. For many years, I used youpi key before switching to iKey.  It works fairly well for me in MAC OS 10.4 although not officially supported.  The youpi key download is hard to find & no longer here.
    http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/11485&vid=75326
    ( Send me a message for a copy of youpi  key. )
    *Examples:*
    I have the common programs that I use assigned to function keys. I have F4 assigned to Firefox. When I want to start FireFox, I press F4. When I want to switch to firefox, I press F4! Starting & switching to an application in Mac OS are the same thing in Mac OS.
    Here is an example of to assign volumn control to a function key.
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=10361085#10361085
    Here is my script for listing my application folder. I have it assigned to function-key 6.
    tell application "Finder"
       open folder "Applications" of startup disk
       select Finder window 1
       set bounds of Finder window 1 to {-3, 44, 691, 545}
       --set position of Finder window 1 to {33, 44}
       set position of Finder window 1 to {60, 45}
       activate
    end tell
    The second portion of this script was generated in the script editor record mode. After I recorded the script and did some editing, I copy the script to ikey/youpi key.

  • Mappng function keys

    What is the procedure for mapping the function keys in FCP (3.0)? I have just upgraded from FCP2.0, and didn't have function keys operating in FCP 2 either.

    Hello Marwa,
    I would be concerned too if the function keys on my keyboard were not working.  I found an article that can assist with troubleshooting issues with the built in keyboard.  I recommend following the steps under the section titled, "Some keys don't work as expected" in the following article:

  • Keyboard Function-Key mapping in Forms 10gAS

    Greetings,
    Can anyone help with a quick outline of the way keyboard function keys are implemented on the Application Server in Forms 10g?
    My situation is that I have two unix servers, one for Development, one for Production. When running my Forms from a browser window, one of the servers responds to the F8 key for Execute-Query, the other server does not.
    I presume the mapping is done on the server, with some sort of configuration file. Perhaps something's been overridden by mistake somewhere. I have checked forms.conf, forms.properties, formsweb.cfg and frmweb.res, and cannot see anything that might relate to these Keyboard Function-Key settings. I've also tried finding a Developers Reference Manual online, but have had no luck.
    It's bound to be something really simple, but I can't seem to crack it. Do you know what I'm missing?
    Pete ?:|

    There are two basic versions of key mapping fmrweb.res files. Forms is released with a fmrweb.res file that has Ctrl+S for commit.
    But there is also a fmrpcweb.res file that can be used in place of the other -- you just rename it as fmrweb.res in the other's place.
    Both files are simple text files you can edit with Notepad or other simple text editors.
    You can find more about fmrweb.res in the first post (a ways down) in this thread:

  • Standard function keys in specific applications

    Just wondering whether there is any way to use the standard functions of F1, F2 etc in specific applications without having to have this function enabled in Leopard as a whole. For example, in general, I want to be able to adjust the volume and brightness on my Macbook Pro without having to push the fn-key. However, when, and only when, I use Pages, I want to use these keys as standard-function keys in order to be able to switch between styled. Is there any way I can make this happen??

    I would settle for knowing how to do that again, but what I would really like is the ability to either quickly turn on and off the Mac default uses for the function keys or, better yet, have it turn off in certain apps.
    I've tried the "Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys," button in the Keyboard & Mouse System Settings, but I don't see where that has any sort of effect.
    yes, it does have an effect. it lets you use F-keys as regular keys and map them to what you want.
    The reference there to the 'fn' key makes me think it's only for laptops.
    no, this is for any keyboard that has a fn key. if you have it on your keyboard then you get that checkbox in keyboard system preferences. if you don't have it the checkbox won't even show up. when the box is checked you have to hold fn to get the functionality of the F-keys written on them. otherwise they act as regular keys that can be mapped to whatever you want. you can do this in system preferences->keyboard&mouse->keyboard shortcuts.

  • I am using Firefox for Mac (v 3.6.11, Mac OSX 10.6.4) and need to use the Function keys (specificlaly Ctrl-F7) in a web application. I can't seem to get it to work the same as in Firefox on PC.

    I am using a web application that requires the use of the F7 key. Actually, to be more precise, I need the functionality that you would get on a PC if you hit Ctrl-F7 while in this web application in Firefox. I have changed the Mac's settings to allow standard use of the function keys (rather things like volume up/down, etc.) However, when I try to use Ctrl-F7 it appears to be using the function that is built into Firefox browser rather than the web application running within Firefox. (FYI, nothing happens when I try Cmd-F7 or Alt/Option-F7 either).

  • Function Key mapping

    Hi,
    I have migarted the form from 6i to 10g. But when i am doing *"Ctrl+L"* to see the LOV is not working, i have checked *"fmrweb.res"* for function key mapping it written
    *76 : 2 : "Ctrl+L" : 29 : "List of Values"*
    and i have changed "Ctrl+L" to "Ctrl+l" just to check if capital letter may be the issue but still that doesn't worked for me.
    Than i i used show_lov to populate my LOV, but i want the function key should be used to show lov.
    Can anyone help me on this front.

  • Disabling Function Keys in Select Applications

    Long ago in an OS far away, I knew how to disable the function keys so I could map them as I chose in my mappable apps.
