Hi Michael,
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. I agree that the current implementation is not ideal, and we're discussing the possibility of improving it. Ideally, this functionality should be implemented at the editor level, and we have registered a request for this - T197646. Although I cannot guarantee that it will be available in the near future, we will discuss its implementation.
For now, I see the following ways to resolve this issue:
C#if(DeviceDetector.IsTablet) {
//WindowStyle = WindowStyle.None;
//ResizeMode = ResizeMode.CanMinimize;
WindowState = WindowState.Maximized;
}
In this case, a user will be able to show the on-screen keyboard from the taskbar.
2. It's also possible to manually invoke the on-screen keyboard manually, for example, using the approach described here - Automatic Touch Keyboard for TextBoxes in WPF Applications on Windows 8+.
Dear Ivan,
Thanks for your reply
Besides the fact you acknowledge the issue i'm kind of disappointed that components are present as being hybrid apps but in reality its not even close.
I have build a Business case based on the information provided by DX… proven to be wrong not spending a lot of time checking if marketing blabla matches the reality. for the rest everything was 100% what we needed.
And my main concern is that solutions (maybe not the best solution) / workarounds are provided by dx… for the customer to implement the basics of a hybrid App…
this is no good.
After additional discussion, we have decided to fix this issue at the demo level. I have created a new report about it and passed it to our developers - T263170. We will update it once the fix is available.
