I have just gotten a barcode scanner that runs pocketpc. I have developed a
web-based front end to my inventory database, and want to use the barcode
scanner to fill in standard textbox input fields in an HTML form. No
problem doing all this. The problem is that as soon as the webage loads and
puts the cursor into a text box, the damn keyboard SIP pops up and hides
half the screen.

I don't want to disable the keyboard sip completely, but I do want to keep
it from popping up automatically. Is there a way?

TIA!

JM

You could try putting a disable command in the textboxes GotFocus event?

Eric - Thanks for the reply. I am not programming the PocketPC. I am
merely using Internet Explorer to access a webpage frontend to my database.
I want to tell pocketpc that I don't want the keyboard to pop up
automatically while using Internet Explorer.

Thanks.

Go to http://www.phm.lu/Products/PocketPC/PowerToys/ . The free software available has an external keyboard SIP which is basically
no SIP. Should solve your problem.
