Input Panel (Virtual Keyboard)
The Input Panel may be enabled via the Input Panel icon in the Microsoft Windows CE .NET
Control panel. The Input Panel can be displayed as a large or small keyboard.
Figure 2-37 Small and Large Virtual Keyboards
Virtual keyboards display the actual character a keypress results in. For example, pressing the
<Shift> key on the virtual keyboard toggles the characters displayed on the keys between upper
and lower case. The <áü> key toggles the keys between standard and international symbols. The
<Shift> and <áü> keys can be used in combination for capitalized international characters.
Note: When the virtual keyboard is displayed, the physical keyboard is still active, if attached.
Therefore it is possible to input data from both keyboards.
