Hi all,

I am looking for a method which detects hardware keyboard are enabled in CF
2.0 for Windows Mobile 5.0 devices.

This is my scenario:
When a textbox on a form has the focus, the SIP is enabled by setting
InputPanel.Enabled to true in the TextBox.GotFocus. The issue is how can i
hide SIP when user slides open its built in keyboard? How can I know when
user enabled his hardware keyboard?

I did browse around in this forum and googled for a solution, somehow there
isn't a way that could surely detect hardware keyboard. The device i am
testing on is Cingular 8125 which comes with a built-in sliding keyboard.

Any insights is much appreciated.

Thanks.
 
The OS does this automatically when the user presses a key on the hardware
keyboard. Since not every device *has* a slide-out or flip up keyboard (see
Treo 700), I don't think it makes sense to try to add to the functionality
that the OS already provides for this particular case.

You are right. I miss that out.

Thanks.
