Windows Mobile - Allow Email Input in TextBox

I have added a textbox to my WinMo application form and I want to get the email address as input. Right now, if I type @, it just accepts the input as "a" instead of the @ sign.

How do I resolve the @ symbol in a textbox? I am using Windows Mobile Professional SDK and testing on a smartphone emulator.

thanks

This is the "abc" smartphone mode interfering with your text writing. It sees shift-2 as just key "2" and enqueues the letter a, b, or c (if you press it multiple times).

Since many input methods are device dependent (some devices have an FN key that you have to sync with others, others have a SYM key that gives you a choice of characters), you are bound to any device (or in this case, an emulator).



To use this emulator input method, keep pressing key 1 - it goes through normal characters, including the "@" character.
