Appendix G
Creating Custom Softkeys
Developers can link arbitrary URIs to softkeys in the XML screens and can
invoke softkey behavior to each XML screen type (Text Menu, Text Screen, User
Input, Directory). A developer can define up to six softkeys before the closing tag
of any object on the 57i/57i CT.
The following softkey functionality is available to the developer for the purpose
of reordering or preserving the default functionality of the XML screens. The
"Dial" function is available to screens that allow input. The dial string for the
"Dial" function is taken from the menu items URI on the Menu Screen, and from
the editor field input on the Input Screen.
