InputPanel Constructor

[This documentation is for preview only, and is subject to change in later releases. Blank topics are included as placeholders.]

Initializes a new instance of the InputPanel class for enabling and disabling the soft input panel (SIP).

Namespace:  Microsoft.WindowsCE.Forms
Assembly:  Microsoft.WindowsCE.Forms (in Microsoft.WindowsCE.Forms.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Sub New
'Usage

Dim instance As New InputPanel()
public InputPanel()
public:
InputPanel()
new : unit -> InputPanel

Remarks

To program the SIP, drag the InputPanel component from the ToolBox to your form.

A MainMenu component is required to use the InputPanel component. Visual Studio automatically adds a MainMenu component to the Form1 class when you create a Pocket PC project. However, it does not add this component to the forms that you subsequently add to the project.

You use the InputPanel component only when you want to programmatically control the SIP. This component is not required for users to display the SIP, because the SIP icon is already available on the lower menu bar when you create a Windows-based application for the Pocket PC.
