Controlling the SIP (Soft Input Panel)
Posted: Wed Nov 02, 2005 04:16 PM

I am trying to show/hide the SIP (Soft Input Panel) based on which control has focus at any given time. I found the function SIPShowIM referenced here... http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/wceshellui5/html/wce50lrfsipshowim.asp
I am defining the function as a DLL FUNCTION using this line...

Code: Select all Collapse

#define SIPF_OFF        0x00000000
#define SIPF_ON         0x00000001


DLL FUNCTION SIPShowIM( nState AS DWORD ) AS BOOL LIB "COREDLL.DLL"

I call the function with this simple line...

Code: Select all Collapse

SIPShowIM( SIPF_ON )

However, I only get a NULL value in return and nothing happens to the SIP. Has anyone successfully found a way to manage the SIP?

Also, this might be a nice optional METHOD for GETs in FWPPC...

Bill,

That function is already implemented in FWPPC as these:

SHOWKEYBOARD() and HIDEKEYBOARD()

Your code is ok, but the parameters supply is not available yet (so it arrives as zero and hides it).

Please try them and let us know your results. Thanks

regards, saludos

Does this mean that dynamic DLL function calls are not fully working? This might explain a different issue I am having.

Thanks again,

Yes, they are not ready yet. Please use to review whatsnew.txt file included with FWPPC. We will announce it as soon as it is fully available.
