windows on-screen keyboard

Hye,

I'm trying to make Windows on-screen keyboard open right after any text box is getting focus,

right now, as default, the user must click the text box twice to activate the keyboard which is a problem, becasue it's on a tablet and not always the 2nd time is in the box and tablet is not real accurate and so on..

 

so, I want the virtual keyboard to be visable right after the first click,

is there another way or calling OSK.EXE everytime the user click on text-box is the only way?

 

thanks is advance,

Aj

In the control callback you could use the event EVENT_GOT_FOCUS to call LaunchExecutable ();

Well, you wrote that "right now, as default, the user must click the text box twice to activate the keyboard which is a problem"...
So I suggested to use EVENT_GOT_FOCUS instead because this event can be triggered without clicking by using the TAB key or Shift-TAB.

I am getting error like "Could not start On-Screen keyboard"

Thanks.
