Does the SIP exist

[Ken Beauchesne]

I am trying to determine if the SIP is available in
non pocket PC apps, I get a "not supported exception"
when I try to deploy a test app to the emulator using

inputPanel1 = new Microsoft.WindowsCE.Forms.InputPanel();

inputPanel1.Enabled = true;

I am using the latest of everything.

TIA

Ken

no SIP is on POcket PC only...

Does anyone know of a third party control that exists
before I re-invent the wheel

Well, that's up to the device OEM. If the OEM wants the SIP, it's there.
Our CE.NET 4.2-based devices have three SIPs on them, but are clearly not
PPC devices...

Then how do you explain the emulator which is platform
neutral declaring its not supported?. I have built a platform
with the sip included and deployed it to the device and get the
same thing an exception fault

Don't know. Must be something wrong there somewhere with the OS image. You
might try the same thing with C/C++ to verify that the SIP functions in some
form are present. Perhaps the SIP interface in the .NET CF is using
PPC-only APIs, rather than the more general Windows CE APIs or something.

It works fine on my Windows CE.NET 4.2 device, by the way.
