Question

I’m trying to duplicate the following behavior (WM6).

Go to Settings -> About -> Device ID. The Device Name textbox gets the focus, causing the onscreen keyboard to pop up.

I’d like to be able to do the same in my application, preferably in managed code.

Answer 1

The onscreen keyboard is in the Microsoft.WindowsCE.Forms namespace.

Add a project reference to that and you’ll have the InputPanel control available, add one of those to your form then in your code behind.

private void txtField_GotFocus(object sender, EventArgs e) {      //Enabled == show      inputPanel.Enabled = true; }  private void txtField_LostFocus(object sender, EventArgs e) {      inputPanel.Enabled = false; }
