Detect when SIP keyboard is exposed.

When the user taps the keyboard symbol on the SIP, is there someway of
subscribing to an event for that? Or do I have to write my own SIP k/b?

Cheers,

According to my Windows CE.NET documentation:

If the software-based input panel is altered, the OS sends out a
WM_SETTINGCHANGE message to all of the active applications.

However, this appears to me to be untrue. It sends a message to the active
application, but background applications don't seem to get any notification
of changes.

It sounds, though, like you have something else in mind (adding a SIP to the
list won't get you notified every time the user taps on the icon). What is
it that you're trying to do?

I have several textboxes on a scrolling form. When the keyboard is
visible, the textboxes at the bottom of the form are occluded by the
keyboard.

If I increase the vertical scroll maximum (or decrease the LargeChange
property), the lower fields can be scrolled into view but the bottom fields
are then in the middle of the screen. If the colours match this doesn't
look too dreadful, but I wanted it to be a bit slicker than that.

So I thought of dynamically adjusting the vertical scroll maximum when the
k/b is revealed and concealed.

When you are the front application, you can receive the notifications when
the SIP is exposed, as indicated in my last message.

Hi,

Try using the InputPanel.EnabledChanged event.

Hi,
Any sample on how can this message be intercepted? My CE.net 4.1 device
doesn't fire the inputenabled event...
