Q: 

How do I control the text input panel programmatically (tabtip.exe) in windows vista/7.

Hi,

I'm adapting an application for touch screen interface and we're want to use the tablet text input panel included in windows vista/7, specifically its keyboard. I want to show and hide it as appropriate for my app. Basically I want ShowKeyboad() and HideKeyboard() functions. What's the best way to control this.

I looked at the ITextInputPanel API but I was unable to control the keyboard directly with it (maybe I missed something?) I have also unsuccessfully tried to send window messages to its window.

The application is written in c++/MFC.

Any pointers at all are greatly appreciated.
