Virtual keyboard
I have an application designed to run on a specific mobile phone running Windows Mobile. The app is configured to run in full screen mode using the phone's physical keyboard as the interface.
At this point, the client wants the application to run on cell phones that do not have a physical keyboard. This means that my application will have to use the virtual keyboard from the OS.
How can I "call" this keyboard so that it appears on top of my application when required?

The virtual keyboard in WinMo is called SIP (Soft Input Panel). The easiest way to show this is to place an element InputPanel
on your form and set its property Enabled
to true
.
This earlier answer has a better way (IMHO) to do it with PInvoke:
What's the best way to enter numbers in Windows Mobile? (.NET CF 3.5)
Note that the ungrateful #% $$ @% # didn't pick it (or any other answer). :)
