detecting built-in keyboard

[Idelso Quintero]

Hi everyone:
Does anyone know a way to detect (for Pocket PC) if a PDA has an
embedded (or attached) keyboard to it; to determine if firing up the
Soft Input Panel (SIP) is necessary or not? I am adding the SIP
control to my app, and using event handlers to enable it or disable it
if focus is placed on a textbox. But if the PDA (or phone) has a
built-in keyboard, there is no need to go thru all that pain. Is the
OS capable of knowing this?
Thanks in advance for any help
