I have an application developed in C# (compact framework) and I would
like to activate or de-activate the keypad in runtime.

Do you know if Windows Mobile has an API for this? If there is, how
can I call it?

Or, if you knwo another way to do this, please help me!!!

Thank you in advance,

Marcelo Muzilli

When you say "keypad" do you mean the SIP?  If so, look at the InputPanel 
control.

I don't know what you are meaning with SIP, but I would like to control 
the Keypad (Block Recognizer/Keyboard/Letter Recognizer/Transcriber).

Thanks,

That's not a keypad.  That's the Soft Input Panel (SIP).  A keypad typically 
is physical buttons, like on a phone device.  You need to use the InputPanel 
component.

To prevent user input from the keyboard, you would need to intercept the key 
up, key down and key press events and then set the handled boolean to true.  
Be very careful or you might get into a state where you have to pop the 
battery to allow input.
