disable automatic keypad

---

does anyone know how to disable the automically popping up keypad?

There was a thread kicking around in this forum somewhere... it's something to do with downloading a "blank" virtual keyboard map to your device and setting that to the default input method. Then when it pops up you see nothing (as it pops up nothing!)...

Thnkx CrArc. But i think this method is somewhat to radical for me. I still use the keypad and in some occasions the keypad is the most easy way to do your thing.

I'm looking for a solution that disables the keypad automatically, but when I want to use it it's still available.
