Property Value
Type: Microsoft.Ink.TextInput.InPlaceDirection
The preferred direction of the in-place Input Panel relative to the text entry field.
Remarks
An application can specify whether the in-place Input Panel defaults appear above or below a text entry field by setting the PreferredInPlaceDirection to Bottom or Top. PreferredInPlaceDirection is a preference because the in-place Input Panel overrides the preference set by the application when necessary to keep Input Panel on the screen.
The system default is to position the in-place Input Panel below a text field when possible; otherwise, it is positioned above. Setting the PreferredInPlaceDirection to Auto restores the system default.
Examples
The following example demonstrates the use of PreferredInPlaceDirection. The tip object is an instance of TextInputPanel. An editable field where the focus is placed is represented by the TextBox control, textBox1.
textBox1.Focus()
tip.PreferredInPlaceDirection = InPlaceDirection.Top
textBox1.Focus();
tip.PreferredInPlaceDirection = InPlaceDirection.Top;
