This appendix explains how to remap keys on the CN2A keypad
by changing the keypad registry settings.
Intermec recommends that only experienced application
developers perform this function.
There are several ways to change the keypad registry settings:
• You can use a registry editing program to change the keypad
registry entries. You can run the Microsoft eMbedded Visual
C++ ® Remote Registry Editor on your PC, using ActiveSync
to connect to the CN2A. Or you can download and run a
third-party registry editing program on your CN2A. After
you make your changes, you need to warm boot the CN2A
for the changes to take effect. For help, see "Warm Booting
the CN2A" on page 111.
• You can write an application to change the keypad registry
entries. An application gives you a convenient way to
customize multiple CN2As. For help downloading and using
the Intermec resource kits and the CN2A platform SDK, see
"Developing a New Application" on page 86. Make sure you
application sets the named event KeybdSettingsChangeEvent
after you change the registry entries, for the changes to take
effect.
• You can use a .cab file to edit the registry. You can install the
__ResetMePlease__.txt file in your .cab to force a warm boot
to activate the changes.
Your CN2A has either an 18-key numeric keypad or a 10-key
scroll keypad.
• The numeric keypad registry settings (shown on page
page 143) are located in this registry subkey:
• The scroll keypad registry settings (shown on page 144) are
