"ScreenLib is a small library for native Windows Mobile developers. It takes away a lot of the pain of designing user interfaces for multiple screen sizes, orientations, form factors etc. It lets you create a user interface once and have it automatically adapt to whatever the device’s screen size is at runtime. By doing this, it offers basic docking & anchoring support for native development and can do a lot of UI plumbing work with just 1 or 2 lines of code."

"…how to place a hook in the WM device in order to listen for all hardware button presses. As a matter of fact, Windows CE does support a keyboard hook through the SetWindowsHookEx API. This API requires the usage of the native callback, which was not possible in the first version of the CF. The current version of .NetCF empowered us with this very useful capability. So what are hooks? Put shortly, a hook is a function that you can create as a part of your application in order to monitor on the messages inside the operating system. Hooks were provided by Microsoft primarily to help developers with the debugging their applications. The incorrect usage of them very easily could bring the system down."
