Changing Smartphnone input mode

[Guest]

Hello:

I need to change the keyboard input mode in the app I'm developing (I need
to set it to numbers mode) for Smartphone.

I've read the FAQ 12.8 in:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/smartclient/understanding/netcf/FAQ/default.aspx

Also this page, too
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/win_ce/html/pwc_TextControls.asp

But I can't get it to work. The compiler says all is ok but the input mode
remains at text mode. I even created a new small app with one form and one
textBox just for testing the sample code in the FAQ referred above, but it
didn't work either.

Can anyone point me to a solution, please? Thank you very much in advance.

There is a minor issue associated with accessing HWND of the TextBox
controls on the smartphone - they are in effect 2 controls. Using GetCapture
gives you the HWND of the outer control, not the edit box. See this:

Thank you very much! It now works exactly as I would.

This a minor issue but I think it is an important one to all Smartphone
developers, especially those (like me) who deal with codes, numbers, etc.
Anyway, thank you very much again.
