We use ~ as a post amble character for our mobile device scanners.  I am 
trying to trap this event in the KeyPress event but pressing this key does 
not invoke this event on our CE emulator or on our CE 4.2 device itself.  I 
can't trap it in the KeyDown or KeyUp events either because they just seem 
to trap the "Shift" key as you have to hold [shift] and "`" together to get 
the "~" character.

Using Framework 2.0 SP1.

Sorry, but this works fine for me:

private void Form1_KeyPress(object sender, KeyPressEventArgs e)

{

Debug.WriteLine(e.KeyChar.ToString());

}

Clicking shift + ~ prints on the debug window ~.
