OK, I got it figured out. Reading the documentation carefully (!) there is
a new INput Area State with PIN Manager 1.1 called pinInputAreaUser. Now if
I call this on the load event for the form, it works. My code looks like
this:
static Boolean AppHandleEvent(EventType * eventP)
{
UInt16 formId;
FormType * frmP;
WinHandle formWinH;
Err err;
if (eventP->eType == frmLoadEvent)
{
// Load the form resource.
formId = eventP->data.frmLoad.formID;
frmP = FrmInitForm(formId);
FrmSetActiveForm(frmP);
// Set the Dynamic Input Area policy attribute, trigger state and
default size contraints
if (HasDynamicInputArea) { // Boolean set in appStart by FtrGet
for PIN Manager
err = FrmSetDIAPolicyAttr(frmP, frmDIAPolicyCustom);
err = PINSetInputTriggerState(pinInputTriggerEnabled);
err = PINSetInputAreaState(pinInputAreaUser);
formWinH = FrmGetWindowHandle(frmP);
WinSetConstraintsSize(formWinH, 160, 320, 320, 160, 160,
320);
}
// Set the event handler for the form. The handler of the
// currently active form is called by FrmHandleEvent each
// time is receives an event.
switch (formId)
{
case LoginForm:
FrmSetEventHandler(frmP, LoginFormHandleEvent);
break;
.
.
.
However, now my problem is that the input area reappears when I open a
dialog through PrgStartDialog. Any idea how I can pevent this from
happening?
