Keyboard not showing for editorgadget in windows tablet

[BjornF]

Dear All,

I'm writing a program to be used on a Windows 10 tablet. If in tablet mode the keyboard is supposed to pop up whenever an "enter text field" is selected. This works well on the InputRequester, the keyboard pops up as it should. When selecting an editorgadget it does not however. Any thoughts on what can be done?

All the best,

Björn

Try/Run:

Code: Select all

tabtip.exe

Thank you Mijikai, but the problem is if the user closes the keyboard how can it be brought back? I can see that if you leave my program and activate the tabtip you get the keyword back, but that is too complicated.

Normally you would be able to activate the keyboard by pressing the keyboard icon on the taskbar, but when in tablet mode the taskbar is hidden by the program that by default (windows' not mine) takes up the entire screen.

All the best,

Björn

There seems to be an Interface 'ITipInvocation' that has a Toggle() option to bring back up the input.

Info:

Code: Select all

[Guid("37c994e7-432b-4834-a2f7-dce1f13b834b")]
        [InterfaceType(ComInterfaceType.InterfaceIsIUnknown)]
        interface ITipInvocation
        {
            void Toggle(IntPtr hwnd);
        }

Note: the tabtip.exe nonsense needs to be running!

Mby u can find more information.
