The following example shows the KeyState indicators and sets the right and top coordinates to 50.

Switching to Other Applications

All controls are designed to be shown on top of PocketBrowser. If you require to switch to an application other than PocketBrowser you should minimize PB to ensure the buttons do not remain shown.

Screen Orientation

When the screen orientation changes, either using the ScreenOrientation tag or by rotating a device with hardware support, the command areas will automatically move and resize to fit the new layout. However the buttons themselves are not moved and in some cases this may result in them being off the screen or not in the expected position. If so they must be moved manually by detecting the ScreenOrientationEvent.
