Hello,

if I enter a text field or an editable combo box the screen keyboard will
not automatically be shown like in normal applications for the PPC. Does
anybody know a solution for this problem?

Thank you, Tobi

Hi Tobi,

The user still has to manually bring up the SIP (screen keyboard) with SWT.
You have the choice to ensure the text widgets are in the upper part so that
they are not covered by the SIP. Or you can put the text widgets into a
Shell with the SWT.RESIZE style - the Shell will be resized when the SIP is
activated by the user. This style is described in the Eclipse.org article "A
small cup of SWT".
Alternatively, you can open a feature request to allow an SWT app to
show/hide the SIP programmatically.
