[RESOLVED] Opening up the keyboard

[tech710]

Hello all,
Here is another in the series of dumb questions. Windows Mobile 2003, Is there a way of opening up the keyboard when I click in a text box? Ex. I have an appication that the user puts in there password in a textbox and I want the keyboard to open as soon as they click on the text box or even when the app loads.

Any ideas?

In the GetFocus event of hte textbox, put:

this.inputpanel1.Enabled = true;

In the LostFocus event of the textbox, you can put:

this.inputpanel1.Disabled = true;

This should display the input panel when the user is on the given field.
