The form or control associated with a member of this enumeration can receive the KeyDown and KeyUp events when the corresponding hardware button is pressed.

The hardware buttons correspond to the application keys on a Pocket PC. The application keys are not included in the core key set, so their hardware key mapping may vary from one keyboard layout to the next. Only the default hardware key mapping on the device is supported. |
This enumeration is not supported and throws a NotSupportedException on the Smartphone and other Windows CE devices that are not Pocket PCs.
