My program shows what button was pressed. On the emulator it works
fine but on my device (HTC Wizard) not:

When I press one of the up-down-left-right buttons, I always get same
results:
on WM_KEYDOWN message, wParam always equals to 0x84 !

How can I distinguish between left-right-up-down ?

Thanx in advance.

Maybe you should look on the corresponding WM_KEYUP message wParam as well !

Is that the only WM_KEYDOWN message you're seeing?

0x84 is VK_DPAD, which should be sent before the actual key press to
indicate it's from the d-pad.

Thanks for your responses. I'll check if WM_KEYDOWN is the only
message or I miss something...

FYI, I also use only WM_KEYDOWN and wparam to pick up Right and Left, and it
seems to be working fine on a wide variety of Pocket PCs.
