I just got my first tablet (Fujitsu T4020), and I'm working in VB.NET to create just a simple form. In the form, I've got textboxes that do naturally show the TIP hovering just below the textbox. However, then the user has to click on the small icon to pull up the full input panel, allowing them to handwrite their text.

What I'm trying to do is programatically open the full input panel when the textbox gains focus. I've played around with using the PenInputPanel (which I'm not sure if I need since I've installed TabletPC SDK 1.7), but I don't have the control I need to do this. I've searched for the past 3 days and not found any suggestions or sample code. Can anyone help me? Thanks in advance!
