InputPanel Crash

[weixiang]

Hi,

When using the InputPanel in .NET CF, I met strange crash:

private void InitializeComponent()
{
this.mainMenu1 = new System.Windows.Forms.MainMenu();
this.inputPanel1 = new Microsoft.WindowsCE.Forms.InputPanel();
//
// inputPanel1
//
this.inputPanel1.Enabled = true;
this.inputPanel1.EnabledChanged += new System.EventHandler
(this.inputPanel1_EnabledChanged);

On the simulation environment, the program crashed in the line
"this.inputPanel1.Enabled = true;". And the message is:

An unhandled exception of type 'System.Exception' occurred in
Microsoft.WindowsCE.Forms.dll
Additional information: Exception

What's the correct way to use InputPanel component?

Thank you in advance,
Wei Xiang

Does your device support input panel? This exception will be thrown for
WindowsCE emulator for example cause it doesn't have input panel.

I'm using the CHS Pocket PC Windows Mobile 2003 SE Image. And inside the OS
it can popup the soft-keyboard to input. Is that a InputPanel? If not, how
can I access that?

I have this problem because I want to adjust the component size according to
the input area popup.

Try to show Software Input Panel like this:

const uint SIPF_OFF = 0x0;
const uint SIPF_ON = 0x1;

[DllImport("coredll.dll")]
private extern static void SipShowIM(uint dwFlag);

I see. Then I'll try the Sip functions. Thank you very much :)
