hi guys,
I am writing a program where it would be best to shut
down the SIP
has anyone been able to completely shut it down adn still
have a menu visible at the bottom?
thanks
 
Hi,

This isn't supported with V1 of .NetCF, but we do have a feature request
for it. Could you describe your scenario more - why would it be best to
shut down the SIP? What controls are you using?

Thanks,
-Katie

Hi Katie,
thanks for the response.
I am developing an form entry application where we need custom keyboard
controls which we are using buttons to make.
As such, we really need to shut down the mainmenu's SIP.
we could use menuitem controls rather than mainmenus but we run all out
forms as seperate forms and switch between them when they are loaded.
for that reason a mainmenu makes more sense.
if you are looking to fix this in SP2 that would be very helpful
 
Hi Ravi,

So this isn't going to be in SP2 - we can't add new APIs for SP2 because of
compatibility concerns (and SP2 is actually already released). We are
looking at some additional SIP/InputPanel features for the v2 timeframe
though.

I'm confused about what you mean by 'menuitem controls'...Could you write
your own custom control that happens to look like a menu and position it at
the bottom of the screen? I've seen this done before.

Another possible solution is to write your own SIP - This may be more
difficult because you'd need to write native code but there's an article
about how to do this here:

Hope that helps you out,
-Katie
