Getting Soft Input Panel to work on Pocket Pc

[dan208]

Hey all!
Sorry if this has been covered before. I searched for quite a while trying to find this same issue and only found one that mentioned it, but didn't give a definite fix.

My understanding(although it is probably wrong) is that when a user clicks on a text box in a pocket pc program created in GE, that it should pop up the SIP (virtual keyboard). Am I wrong in assuming this?

I have fought with this all night trying to figure it out. My program does nothing in Pocket pc when you tap on the input box, except show the cursor ready for text to be input. Text input is on yes, and I also tried Input Focus on Yes and No ( I wasn't sure what it was), and that didn't work either.
This program works fine on Linux, XP, vista, etc. but not on the handheld versions. I did export it to the right version also. Would it make a difference on the Windows Mobile Version? I am running Windows Pocket PC 3.0. I know this is pretty old. Does this make a difference?

Any suggestions on what I can do (or shouldn't be doing ) ?

Anyway, so any help with this would be GREATLY appreciated! I'm so close to getting this program done, I can't wait. Thanks so much for all your help!

I couldn't get the SIP to work either. Ended up making my own little virtual keyboard. Hmm I'd also like to hear if this can be fixed.

Well from another post, Makslane says you can do it by making the actor an "input actor". I was unable to find this option. I'm still new to GE, but I spent a good while searching for it. Maybe someone can clarify what an input actor is. If not, oh well, I got the graphics and everything for a custom virtual keyboard, would've just been nicer to use the SIP.

when you add an actor and then hit the "text" button there is an option for input. change that to yes.

Pixel poop --Thanks for your help in this issue. I've already done what you said, and then double checked, and its still the same. I've done this on two different pocket pcs. Oh well, maybe its just how I've done the program, I don't know. Looks like I'll have to integrate my own custom virtual keyboard. Oh well. Thanks for the replies!
