Mark,
Is there any possibility to do programmatically make visible/invisible the small SIP icon (I’m not talking about the Enabled property of the InputPanel control)? I’ve read that removing it from registry would not allow to flip/flop through program, and I need to hide the SIP icon so that to make visible my own controls.
Thanks!

Hi Michal, Yes it is possible. Take a look at the Microsoft.WindowsCE.Forms.InputPanel class (it should be present within your Visual Studio Toolbox pane). Once an instance of that control is added to your form you will notice it has a CurrentInputPanel property which allows you to set the current SIP Input Method. You can get a list of available Input Methods for a given device by using the InputMethods property. Once you have a list of available InputMethods you would be free to create your own context menu or toolbar etc and then set the CurrentInputPanel property once the user makes a selection. For more information see the "Selecting Input Methods" part of a previous blog post. Thanks, Christopher Fairbairn

Hi,

Is there a way to display the standard input method selection popup? I’m creating a custom toolbar control which will contain an SIP button. Is there a way to also provide a custom ^ button that gives a way to choose the input method? Thanks!
