ITextInputPanel interface (peninputpanel.h)

ITextInputPanel is available for use in the operating systems specified in the Requirements section. It may be altered or unavailable in subsequent versions. Instead, use IInputPanelConfiguration interface.

Provides control of appearance and behavior of the Tablet PC Input Panel.

Inheritance

The ITextInputPanel interface inherits from the IUnknown interface. ITextInputPanel also has these types of members:

ITextInputPanel::get_InPlaceVisibleOnFocus Gets or sets a value that indicates whether the Tablet PC Input Panel is displayed automatically when the window to which it is attached gets focus. (Get)
ITextInputPanel::get_PopDownCorrectionHeight Gets the height of the Post-Insertion correction comb when it is positioned below Input Panel.
ITextInputPanel::get_PopUpCorrectionHeight Gets the height of the Post-Insertion correction comb when it is positioned above Input Panel.
ITextInputPanel::get_PreferredInPlaceDirection Gets or sets the preferred direction of the in-place Input Panel relative to the text entry field. (Get)
ITextInputPanel::put_AttachedEditWindow Gets or sets the window handle of the object to which the ITextInputPanel object is attached. (Put)
ITextInputPanel::put_DefaultInPlaceState Gets or sets the default in-place state as specified by the InPlaceState Enumeration. (Put)
ITextInputPanel::put_DefaultInputArea Gets or sets the default input area as specified by the PanelInputArea Enumeration. (Put)
ITextInputPanel::put_ExpandPostInsertionCorrection Gets or sets a value that indicates whether the correction comb on the Tablet PC Input Panel is automatically expanded. (Put)
ITextInputPanel::put_InPlaceVisibleOnFocus Gets or sets a value that indicates whether the Tablet PC Input Panel is displayed automatically when the window to which it is attached gets focus. (Put)

Remarks

ITextInputPanel Interface gives application developers more control and information about Input Panel's state than PenInputPanel Class. ITextInputPanel Interface replaces the PenInputPanel Class as the preferred mechanism for programmatically interacting with the Input Panel.

ITextInputPanel Interface provides:

• A complete control over the positioning of the in-place Input Panel when the application has focus.
• An access to the ink objects from the Input Panel text insertion in addition to the recognized text.
• A set of properties that correspond exactly to Input Panel's capabilities giving both the ability to know Input Panel's current state and to customize Input Panel's configuration.

The ITextInputPanel Interface continues to provide nearly all of the programmatic capabilities of the PenInputPanel Class thus superseding the PenInputPanel Class.
