textbox, compact framework, slideout button text entry problem

#11

I have the exact same issue. It doesn't occur in native programs (e.g., Calendar, Contacts, etc.), but it does occur in my VS2005 programs.

Sam,

Can you give me the HTC ROM version information from the failing device(s)?
I'm not sure where this is in WM6, but in WM5 it would be in Settings |
About (the OS version), and Settings | Device Information.

Thanks,
Paul T.

OK, this is confirmed by MS as a known issue with HTC devices Mogul and
Cavalier. HTC will have to fix it, so the best you can do for now is
lean
on them and stick with native code, I guess.

The devices are HTC Mogul from Sprint.

It sounds like they have implemented their hard keyboard in some

way. I'll ask around. What specific model is affected?

Yes. I've tested it out with a simple Hello World and received the
same
problematic behavior.

Ah! You can write a new simple .NET CF program, Hello, World, with
an
TextBox in it and you'll get the same behavior? No components of
yours,
just Microsoft stuff...

Please give the device type and ROM version information for the devices
where you see this.

Thank you for the updates.

I'm using the HTC Mogul (Sprint) with a ROM version 2.09.651.3 dated 6/14/07. (Obtained from the Phone App, Menu->Device Information.)

Not to be contentious, but it seems a little odd to call it a hardware problem when it manifests itself exclusively using the MS Compact Framework.

Again, thanks for your assistance.

It's not a "hardware problem", but a problem specific only to that
particular hardware. I don't know the details of the problem; I'm just
collecting information to help MS get a fix out, but it appears to me that
it must be related to how the keyboard on those specific devices report
their key information, probably a problem with the VK to Unicode mapping.

As Paul suggested, looks like this is a problem with the Sprint drivers, rather than HTC or dot net.

Here is some sort of workaround that I haven't tested:
