Control of the Transcriber from a C# Compact Framework Application

In writing our C# Pocket PC applicat we need to have the program control the
decision about whether user pen-strokes are interpreted as graphical drawing
or text input based on the context. We think that simply turning on & off
the Transcriber will do what we want.

How do we do this?

We have investgated via the MSDN and the closest match we have found is the
HWX API in Windows CE 4.0+. Is there not a .NET API to control this? If the
HWX API is what we need to use, we need more information. In order to use
the P/Invoke techniques, we need to know the name of the DLL in which the
methods are provided. This DLL is not mentioned in any of the documentation
we have found to date. The "Recog.h" header file cannot even be found in the
files installed with our copy of Visual Studio.net Professional (Version
2003) leading us to suspect that this means of interacting with the
handrwiting recognition system is obsolete.
 
To turn on/off the Transcriber you should use P/Invoke SipSetCurrentIM()
together with SipShowIM(). In SipSetCurrentIM as parameter you must pass
Transcriber Guid - "f0034dd0-2ad4-11d1-9cb0-e84be8000000".
