Overview

Screenshot of Sapphire Buttons Utility - .NET Compact Framework/DLL - V2.0

Sapphire Buttons Utility makes reading the button status easy with the following functionality:

  • Check what button is pressed
  • Retrieve the button name
  • Enable and disable system buttons

Implementation couldn’t be easier, simply declare the DLL function as a function within your application and call it as though you wrote it yourself. Here’s a sample demo to show how a simple timer can keep track of what button was pressed within VB.NET.

Private Sub tmrButtons_Tick( ByVal senderAsSystem.Object,_
            ByValeAs System.EventArgs) HandlestmrButtons.Tick
  DimlButtonAs Integer
  DimlKey1As Integer
  DimlKey2As Integer

  lButton = sButtons(1234567890, lKey1, lKey2)

  IflButton = 0 Then
    lblButton.Text = ""
  Else
    IflKey2 = 0 Then
      lblButton.Text = ButtonName(lKey1)
    Else
      lblButton.Text = ButtonName(lKey1) & " (" & ButtonName(lKey2) & ")"
    End If
  End If
End Sub
