Handle global keyboard events in WinRT

I was searching for a global way to handle the KeyDown or KeyUp event for an entire Page in a Modern UI app.

Fortunately, I found a nice thing, it's possible to handle the KeyDown/KeyUp event for the whole page by subscribing to the events:

Window.Current.CoreWindow.KeyDown += CoreWindow_KeyDown;

Window.Current.CoreWindow.KeyUp += CoreWindow_KeyUp;

This is also very useful for my new game :)

Hi there !

 

Specialized in .net technologies for many years, I am a technology fan in both asp.net and wpf/silverlight, using c# and .net 4.5

Taking advantages of new opportunities offered by the Windows Azure platform and WP/Win 8, I develop applications for Windows Phone, 5 of them are already available on the market place.
