Soft Key Overview
Soft keys display menus and commands when you press corresponding hardware buttons on Windows Mobile-based Smartphones. The soft keys are located on the soft key bar at the bottom of the screen.
The right soft key displays a menu and the left soft key provides access to the most common action based on the currently displayed user interface.
You can change the command associated with a soft key to correspond to changes in the application's user interface. For example, in the Contacts application, the command associated with the left soft key changes from New to Edit when you select a specific contact.
You can modify the default handling of key messages sent to a soft key or receive notification of these messages by using the SHCMBM_OVERRIDEKEY message.
