being an expert here I hope this stumping me won't dissuade any of you from helping me out.....

I am trying to launch an input panel i.e.

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

1. this.inputPanel1.Enabled = true;

easy.... but as its WM5 it shows the keyboard and the horrid keyboard icon in the middle below it (I have the menu bar disabled)

Is there a simple way to just show the keyboard without showing this... I must have just missed it if there is... as it's 1.00am here and i've been up since 6.00am :(

Ah RedSon.... yee of little faith. I have done it.

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

1. [DllImport("coredll.dll")]
2.         public static extern bool MoveWindow(IntPtr hwndRequestor, int x, int y, int nwidth, int nHeight, Boolean brepoint);
3.  
4.         [DllImport("coredll.dll")]
5.         public static extern IntPtr FindWindow(string lpClassName, string lpWindowName);
6.  
7.  
8.         private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
9.         {
10.             this.inputPanel1.Enabled = true;
11.             IntPtr h = FindWindow("SipWndClass", null);
12.  
13.             //MoveWindow(h, 0, 172, this.Width, 148, false);
14.             MoveWindow(h, 0, 240, this.Width, 80, false);
15.         }
16.  
17.         private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
18.         {
19.             this.inputPanel1.Enabled = false;
20.         }
21.  

Took me all day, as I know NOTHING about all this DllImport("coredll.dll") business and dont understand hptrs, but I have got it working and it is 100% FACT :P

I have had help from some other sources http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/Sho...95762&SiteID=1 based on a vb project
