[Resolved] - Keyboard or input options disappeared

[karahim]

Hi!

On execution on Pocket PC or Emulator my SmartDeviceApplication's form is not showing any keyboard or input options, even on reducing form size to 248x252.

Any idea?

To use the keyboard in the Pocket PC you need to do two things.
In .Net:
1. Add a MainMenu from the toolbox so that you can see the keyboard in the bottom right corner of the screen.
2. To control the keyboard add the InputPanel from the toolbox to your form. With this you can tell if the keyboard is shown or collapsed or change its status yourself.

One thing I did notice is that you should Dispose() the keyboard when you are done or you may see problems closing your app.
