The following example demonstrates how to use an InputMethod object.
InputMethod.SetPreferredImeState(myTextBox, InputMethodState.On); InputMethod.Current.ImeSentenceMode = ImeSentenceModeValues.Automatic; InputMethod.Current.HandwritingState = InputMethodState.On; InputMethod.Current.SpeechMode = SpeechMode.Dictation; InputScope myInputScope = new InputScope(); myInputScope.RegularExpression = "W|P|F"; InputMethod.SetInputScope(myTextBox, myInputScope); tb6.Text = "Configuration UI Available?: " + InputMethod.Current.CanShowConfigurationUI.ToString();
