mapping function keys in Windows CE

Hey all,

I am developing an application for a Symbol Scanner, i am using Visual Studio .NET 2003 and C# to do so. I am looking for a way to set some of the keys on the device (function keys; f1-10) to send you to different forms in the application. I havent quite been able to figure it out, i can however make a messagebox to display what the key id is when i hit i key so i know what id to make the statement (not sure how i want to do it)

So far the application has if statements for the enter key, but im trying to figure out how to make keys do different tasks, the big thing is that the people wont be using the pen to do focus's so it cant really take focus, if i were able to do that then i think i could do it.

Anyone try such things, if so how would you go about developing it

Another thing, how about tabbing the boxes, so i can use the tab key to go through the different textboxes/commands

i was able to find something similar to what i am looking for but in a Windows App only, to the best of my knowledge.

IMessageFilter under the System.Windows.Forms.Forms class will let me map keys so whereever i am in my windows app and i press that key it will do something. But i cant seem to find an equivelent for the .NET compact framework or any smart device application.

Got any suggestions?
