Do you know how to set the input mode to numeric on the text field using windows mobile 6.5? (HTC HD2)
I want the SIP keyboard to display only numeric keys.
I tried many examples with no luck.
Thanks
you could always click ion the little up arrow next to the keyboard icon at the bottom center and select the numerical keypad.
I want to do it programmatically using visual studio vb.net, I'm developing and application.

Hi, I am trying to write a program for Dopod C730. I am using VB.net Compact framework with WM6 standard SDK. However, when I put it to run in the C730, I can't input the characters in the textbox with those keys also represent numbers. For example, the key "E" should also represent number 1 in the keyboard. No matter "text" mode / "numeric" mode, the key "E" always be number 1. In other words, I can't input character "E" in the textbox in any input mode. Does anyone have any idea?
Thank you very much.

No. That's hardware keyboard. It is very weird...... That's a very very basic function and the program is running normal in the emulator. Don't know whether it is the bug in Dopod's rom or build-in .net runtime......
I'm noticing the same exact problem with my Dopod C730 using Windows Live Search. I can use all functions of Windows Live Search (http://wls.live.com), except for typing in a destination since I only get numbers or special characted (up, down, tab, etc.) when hitting the corrosponding letters on the QWERTY keyboard.
Any help on this would be really great!

Hello!
I have started developing some small apps with Visual Studio 2008 and the Windows Mobile 6.0 SDK using C# for my HTC Touch HD.
Now, I have a problem. I have a numericUpDown-Panel in my app and for this I want to use the numeric inputpanel of the htc phone-keyboard. But when I enabling the input panel, I only get the normal htc phone-keyboard. I know how to switch between the input panels (QWERTY, phone, ...), using the InputPanel-Class, but I don´t know, how to switch between the different panels of the htc phone-keyboard (normal, signs, numeric).
For example, when I create a new contact in the phonebook and I select a field for a phone-number the keyboard switch to the numeric keyboard.
And this is exactly that, I want to use in my app.
Has anybody an idea?
Cheers Michel
Sorry to bump a very old message, but I'm wondering the exact same thing for my HD2...
I've seen other programs do it, but how?!
Hi all.
I have a Snap with windows mobile 6.5 and I can't seem to do two things which are important to me :
1. how do you copy selected text in Word Mobile ?
2. how do you select multiple files in file explorer ?
I just can't seem to do this...
Office Mobile 6.1 in WM 6.5 ?
Ok, so I just realized that you can't copy/paste from WordMobile 6.1 on non-touch devices :
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/help/v6-1/move-copy-text-document-nontouch.aspx
but you can do it on WordMobile 6.5 :
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/help/v6-5/Move-copy-text-nontouch.aspx
but what I really don't get here is that I upgraded Windows Mobile to 6.5 (official HTC ROM) and that office mobile delivered with it is version 6.1 ??? Can anyone confirm this ? This is really weird...
Ctrl key
My Dash 3G came installed with Windows Mobile 6.5 and Word Mobile 6.1. I don't think you can get Word Mobile 6.5 on the device unless it's some kind of custom job.
You can cut & paste in Word Mobile 6.1. I do it all the time using Ctrl+X (cut), Ctrl+C (copy), and Ctrl+V (paste). Ctrl+Z (undo) also works. I am using a bluetooth keyboard that has a Ctrl key, though, which works great for me because I don't really do any editing without using it.
You can select text by holding the shift key then moving the trackball across the text that you want in combinations of horizontal and vertical. Once highlighted, text can be deleted in one key stroke. It works even better with my remote keyboard, shift+arrow keys, plus I then have the option to cut/copy & paste the selection.
So the ability to copy to and from the clipboard is there but they left out the menu options of cut, copy, paste, and select. The keyboard shortcuts work if you have the hardware.
Is there a way to reprogram the keymap on the built-in Dash 3G / Snap keyboard? Some kind of registry edit or something? I'd give up the camera or messaging key in exchange for a Ctrl key. I'm not smart enough to figure out how but I'm sure somebody on xda could figure that out. Once you have a Ctrl key, you could do a lot more with the software.
If a key remap is impossible, what about editing the menu for Word Mobile 6.1? The functions are in the software, they just didn't add them to the menu. Maybe that's the only real difference between Word Mobile 6.1 and 6.5.

Which one?? Bone Justice's?
I am trying a couple of ROMs based on windows mobile 6.5.3 and 6.5.5
I noticed that the input selector arrow is missing (keyboard > right side).
So how to make the selection between different input methods? I can't find any manuals online.
Sometimes the options which were available in earlier version (Text Input Settigns, Phone Keypad, Compact Qwerty, About) do appear if I tap twice (quick tapping) sometimes they do not...I am puzzled.
Please can someone point me to the right usage of the new keyboard icon (bottom centre)?
Thanks
Saulo
I noticed that If I tap and hold then a new window appear : "Touch Input"... but this does not solve my puzzle: how to make the keyboard appears and then disappears? (just clisk for 1/3 of seconds) How to make the option appear? it seems too random...
I found my solution: the latest Xanny ROM!
Yes this ROM does provide a new WM 6.5.3 optimized keyboard icon: if I press for less than 1/3 of sec the keyboard layout is toggled (on and off). It is fine.
If I press for 1/2 sec, then the menu of options appear. Xanny improvements is here: there is a button on the bottom line (CLOSE) which is NOT present in all other wm6.5.3 ROMs that I have tested...This CLOSE Button does effectively provide a way to revert to the Keyboard layout.
Anyway, any other feedbacks?
Thanks
Saulo
no guys, it is like with wm6.5 but the arrow to choose keyboard is not visible.
What i want to say is that if you click lower right part of the icon it will show the keyboard selector and the rest of it will hide/show keyb.
regards
The input selector arrow is not a part of 6.5.x UI, it has never been. It was replaced by longpress on SIP button. Of course when longpress is already used (by Sense), this is an issue... But it is not a bug of 6.5.x
Thanks Tryde.
Is there a way to completely disable SENSE, so we can avoid conflicts on the icon selector?
Another questions (a bit off topic): if not possible to disable SENSE, at least can we disable HTC Messaging? I wish to use the keyboard with old fashion Microsoft TXT and SMS messaging.
thanks
Saulo

I may be wrong (not using 6.5.x at the moment), but if you use a third party keyboard (finger keyboard for example), it should disable this popup. Have you tried ?
Possible solution
I have found another possible solution. If you disable the change of SIP, the menu will not appear and there is no troubles with hiding the keyboard.
I disabled SIP menu in registry by changing HKLM\Software\HTC\ezsip\EnableSipMenu to 0.
Little disadvantage is that now you can't change your keyboard. (But if you are using still the one like me, there is no problem.)
Let me now, if it helps you.
I just got Sprint HTC Touch Pro 2 windows mobile 6.5. The only options it gives me for text input are full qwerty, compact qwerty and phone keypad. I found transcriber in the windows directory & am able to use it. However, there used to be something called "keyboard" which I really liked and I can't find it anywhere. Can anyone help me. Thanks for your help.
Hey,
When you are in your text field at the bottom of the screen you should see a keyboard icon. I know on 6.1 it is between your two reply and menu I believe in 6.5 it so n the side.
When you click it, it opens your keyboard then there should be a little arrow beside that icon click on the arrow.
This should give you the options of phone keypad, Full QWERTY and keyboard. under those will be other input methods which have transcriber keyboard, letter recognizer and block recognizer.
If some things arnt there then sprint may of had them removed and you might want to look on the forms to find a CAB for a new keyboard.
thanks for the help. i guess sprint did remove them, because they just aren't there. does anyone know of a cab file that would restore them?
