FiveWaySupport Property

Returns information about the 5-way navigator feature.

Syntax

Public Property Get FiveWaySupport() As Integer

Remarks

The FiveWaySupport property indicates whether the device supports the 5-way navigator feature or not. Currently, it can return one of the following values:

ValueDescription
0No support.
1The device has navigator buttons.
64The device has Tapwave style navigator buttons.
129The device has navigator buttons and support the blue focus ring through the Handspring API.
130The device has navigator buttons and support the blue focus ring through the PalmOne API.

Appart from very specific cases, your application will only consider this value as informative, since the HB++ runtime library internally handles devices differences and offers the programmer a uniformized set of functions to interact with the 5-way navigator and the blue focus ring. For more information about supporting these features in your application, please refer to the One handed navigation section in the Programmer's Guide.
