Launching windows touch keyboard in editor
Hi!
I am making a touch app using Unity 2017.1 and Windows 10.
I am trying to launch the keyboard while playing in the editor using this code:
var keyboard = TouchScreenKeyboard.Open("test");
However, it does not show up and the keyboard.active is set to false.
So I have two questions:
Is it not possible to show the keyboard while playing in the editor?
How can I make the keyboard show up? Do I need to convert it to a Windows Store App?
Thanks!
Hey, i found this: "In C#, you can simply write the following line of code to invoke the on-screen keyboard application that comes with Windows:
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("osk.exe");"
Hope it helps.
Hi. Thanks for the tip!
I tried this but it launches a different keyboard, not the one tradionally used for Windows touch screens. You can launch it be searching "on screen keyboard" in the windows menu.
But I would like to launch what Windows call the "touch keyboard". See the image below:
Then find the name of the program and launch it the same way!
I tried doing that before, using System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("tabtip.exe");
It kind of works, as the keyboard show up most of the time. But I wouldn't call it reliable. It would be nice to do it with Unity's built-in support though.
But thank you!
It cant be done, bcs this is windows feature, so you need to use .NET.
Okay, then I must have interpreted the text about the TouchScreen$$anonymous$$eyboard wrong. Thank you for the help :-)
I have created an easy to use script that makes the Windows Onscreen Keyboard popup when a (TextMeshPro) inputfield is selected. https://gist.github.com/SteefmanV/f9df806f3036020dd8a322edde572dc4
