10. HARDWARE BUTTONS

11. HARDWARE BUTTONS OVERVIEW
All Windows Phones have several hardware buttons
Back, Start, Search, Volume, Camera, etc.
System defines actions for all of them
The Back button is the only one you can override

12. BACK BUTTON FUNDAMENTALS
Back performs two key tasks in Windows Phone 7
Return to the previous place
Dismiss popup UI
Consider the user’s perception of “place” and “popup”
Not necessarily tied to specific controls
These are the only two tasks it should perform
Do not override Back to perform some other action
Future updates may enforce these rules
Games are an exception; they can show a pause menu when the user hits back.

13. OVERRIDING THE BACK BUTTON
