Creating a shortcut in .NET Compact Framework

Hello All,

I'm sure this has probably happened to most people but I've run out of UI space and need to create a hotkey or some similar situation to run a method or function. Any help is appreciated thank you in advance

Redesign the UI? Use tabs? Scroll bars to get further down your UI?

This happens in the full-size GUI world too. I build all my UI's on panels with Autoscroll turned on. Most times you never see it... but then all of a sudden you see a weird configuration where someone is running it on a pocket computer (full size WinXP but a screen of 480x320) or it is running on their 3rd monitor which is a USB Mimo at 800x480. At which point the panel automatically shows scroll bars as needed.

MSDN says the panel control is supported in the Compact Framework.

Thanks for the reply. Redesigning the UI isn't viable as it contains information the user needs nor is adding scroll bars because the user rarely uses anything but the trigger of the scanner. There is a large keyboard on the scanner so a hotkey like shift 1 would be easy for them. I should have specified that the application is on a 4.5" touch screen barcode scanner gun

I assume there is a menu. Can you add a menu option and set it's hotkey?
