Can the SIP default to NUMPAD display

[mattgranger]

Hi,
Can I have the Soft Input Panel (SIP) default to the numpad-type
display? I have a form that requires no text entries, but 8 numeric
entries.
The SIP displays when the first textbox receives the focus, but it
always comes up in the last used format: sometimes keypad, sometimes
numpad.
Another issue: the project contains the TabControl with 5 tabpages,
but none of the textboxes/buttons I place on any of these tabs will
accept the TAB key for moving. I have enabled "AcceptsTab" but no
change; and the View|Tab Order option does not display any tab order
either.
This is my first attempt at this, or any other programming effort, so
please excuse any obvious omissions.
Thanks,
Matt

The tab issue was resolved in CF Service Pack 2. Download an install the
developer redistributable from

To reorder controls use View/Smartphone Tab Order (never mind that you have
a PPC project)


As for the SIP defaulting to numeric - there is no documented way to do it,
but take a look at this:

Thanks Alex,
I downloaded the zip file, but only have VB installed on my system at
the moment as I thought I'd start there. I'll have to pull out the
Studio .NET disks and install the rest I think.

Thanks for the clue on the Tab issue - Ive d/l the service pack and am
trying it out now.

Any help with the SIP in VB would be much appreciated.
Cheers,
Matt
