Capturing long press key event in background in GUI application

[akshay.raikwar]

Hi all,

I am trying to develop a GUI (and not a console) app which should be able to capture long press key event in background.
Can anyone please tell me how to do the same.
Code examples,snippets would be more helpful.

Thanks in advance.

I think the answer is to check the repeats from the key event, at lest that appeared to work last time: http://www.developer.nokia.com/Commu...Hold-keyEvents
