Hi all,

Does anyone know how to change the input mode of the mobile (Alphapet --> Numeric) for a specific text field? I wnat to create a text field that should accept only numbers.

You can read through OpennetCF to find out how they do it. Search for SetInputMode.

Hopefully the following code will help you out. I use it in some of the apps I am writing and it works well for me.

using System;

using System.Windows.Forms;

using System.Runtime.InteropServices;

namespace SmartAustralianPropertyFeeCalculator

{

public enum InputMode : ushort

{

Spell = 0,

T9 = 1,

Numeric = 2,

Text = 3,

};

///

/// This class will facilitate the ability to

/// change the input type for a field.

/// The standard are:

/// T9

/// Numeric

/// Text

///

public class InputChanger

{

[DllImport("coredll",EntryPoint="GetCapture")]

static extern IntPtr GetCapture();

[DllImport("coredll",EntryPoint="GetWindow")]

static extern IntPtr GetWindow(IntPtr hWnd, int uCmd);

[DllImport("coredll",EntryPoint="SendMessage")]

static extern IntPtr SendMessage(IntPtr hWnd, ushort msg, ushort wParam, ushort lParam);

///

/// Set the input mode for a control that is passed.

///

/// The control whose input method you'd like to change

/// The input mode you'd like to change to

public static void SetInputMode(Control ctrl, InputMode mode)

{

int GW_CHILD = 5;

ushort EM_SETINPUTMODE = 222;

//Get the handle for the control

ctrl.Capture = true;

IntPtr h = GetCapture();

ctrl.Capture = false;

//Get the child window for the control

IntPtr hWndEditBox = GetWindow(h, GW_CHILD);

//Set the input mode

SendMessage(hWndEditBox, EM_SETINPUTMODE, 0, (ushort)mode);

}

}

}
