How to activate the onscreen keyboard of win7

created 13 years ago

We have a WPF UI with several textEdit, memoEdit and passwordEdit Controls. When the user clicks into a textEdit the onscreen keyboard appears. This doesn't work on a memoEdit or passwordEdit. It's really difficult to enter a password on a pen touch device without an keyboard. Is there any solution?

Hi,
Showing the OnScreen keyboard is an OS specific feature. We cannot interact with the OnScreen keyboard application from our code. However, you can manually run this application on user interaction, on focusing controls, etc.
Thanks
