Also, the user can easily dismiss the sip at any time by simply touching the phone&#39;s hardware back button, at any time if the sip is visible, the back button will dismiss it.</p> <div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=10176659" width="1" height="1">http://blogs.msdn.com/b/silverlight_sdk/archive/2010/07/02/programmatically-dismiss-the-sip-keyboard-in-windows-phone-silverlight-app.aspx#10062649Wed, 15 Sep 2010 21:06:44 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:10062649thanks<p>thanks for the tip. as for microsoft, thanks for not thinking about this. jezz. was Keyboard.Hide(); all that hard to get in the sdk guys?</p> <div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=10062649" width="1" height="1">http://blogs.msdn.com/b/silverlight_sdk/archive/2010/07/02/programmatically-dismiss-the-sip-keyboard-in-windows-phone-silverlight-app.aspx#10050637Mon, 16 Aug 2010 17:56:43 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:10050637David Isbitski<p>Hey Tim - On Windows Phone 7 you close any SIP by hitting the hardware back button. &nbsp;=) &nbsp;</p> <div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=10050637" width="1" height="1">http://blogs.msdn.com/b/silverlight_sdk/archive/2010/07/02/programmatically-dismiss-the-sip-keyboard-in-windows-phone-silverlight-app.aspx#10036018Thu, 08 Jul 2010 17:11:04 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:10036018bcl1<p>Excellent. &nbsp;Glad this helped, Tim. &nbsp;I have been reading the <a href="http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=9713252">Windows Phone UI and Interactive Guide</a>&nbsp; and there&#39;s a nice reminder in there that the Back hardware button will also close the SIP. &nbsp;A collopse method would be nice, though.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=10036018" width="1" height="1">http://blogs.msdn.com/b/silverlight_sdk/archive/2010/07/02/programmatically-dismiss-the-sip-keyboard-in-windows-phone-silverlight-app.aspx#10034217Sat, 03 Jul 2010 17:43:18 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:10034217Tim Greenfield<p>Thanks for the tip! On a side note: I was disappointed to see that the SIP didn&#39;t have a &quot;collapse&quot; button on it. My Android phone&#39;s SIP has this and it provides an intuitive way to collapse the SIP and see the stuff behind it. Fingers crossed we&#39;ll see this in the RTM of WP7!? :)</p> <div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=10034217" width="1" height="1">
