I need to see if I can programatically bring up the menu
with .NET CF.
In addition, I am thinking about another scheme. At the
moment, if key input mode is not active, then the keys on the
keypad represent digits.
Now, say if you press "#" on the keypad, the keys will not be
digits anymore. If you press "1", that would mean ctrl-down
(just an example). "2" could be alt; "3" would be shift. If you
press "#" again you go back to digit mode. Of course you
can always enter key input mode with "*".
With this scheme you don't need to go all the way to the
menu items to press a shift, but it takes longer to be familiar
with the UI.
Let me know what your opinion is.

Bringing the menu in full-screen mode is a very very very
essential feature. Of course, if it's possible.
I like the idea to bind phone keys to some action. But I
don't think we need digits inserting at all. It's not quite
needed. Text inserting mode is enough for this. I'd better
prefer to have quick window moving actions. For example,
1 - upper-left corner of the remote screen
2 - midle of upper part of the screen
3 - upper-right corner of the remote screen
5 - centre of the screen
9 - lower-right corner
etc.
That will very improve the navigation using smartphone.
Your idea about changing keypad mode by pressing "#" is very
good. But then we'll also need an indication of the keypad mode.

Nothing is impossible, but I cannot estimate the effort needed
at this moment because I can't seem to find a way to bring
up the menu programmatically.
I need to revise the ideas. I certainly need a way to show
status information on the form. Then I need a way to alter
how the keypad digits function... I will let you know my
approach later.
