Input Scope

,

The InputScope property determines the set of keys and layout provided on the SIP. This value allows you to provide the user with a specialized keyboard, particular to the data that is being entered.

The following code demonstrates how to change the default alphanumeric SIP to one containing telephone digits, suitable for allowing the user to enter a telephone number:

<TextBox InputScope="TelephoneNumber" />

The InputScope is specified using one of the values from the InputScopeNameValue enum (see Table 6.3).

Most of the InputScopeNameValue enum values are mapped to a particular keyboard layout from Table 6.2.

Word Prediction

Windows phone has built-in support for word prediction while the user is entering text into a TextBox. To enable this feature, set the InputScope to either Text or Chat, as shown in the following example:

<TextBox InputScope="Text" />

Intellisense Support for the InputScope Property

When populating the InputScope property in XAML, you will notice that there is no IntelliSense support. This makes selecting the InputScopeNameValue rather difficult, as there are quite a few of them. To regain IntelliSense, use the more verbose element syntax to specify the InputScope property, like so:

        </InputScope>
    </TextBox.InputScope>
</TextBox>
