I am writing a WPF 4.0 application that embeds a Chrome browser engine (AwesomiumSharp).  The problem we are having is that when a user tries to enter text into a browser field the HP virtual keyboard does not appear.  This is a kiosk solution.

I can trap the event from my browser in my code that the user has focus on a browser textbox, but I don't know (in C#) how to tell the nice virtual keyboard to show up.

I do know the virtual keyboard works great once it is in view.

Is this possible?  How can I do this, any links or documents?

Thanks!

It might be as simple as

Process.Start("tabtip.exe");

Hehe, things are simple when you know what to do aren't they?

Haven't had a chance to try this yet, but Process.Start will start the tabtip.exe program- I believe this is already running, as I mentioned it works just fine for other apps.

There is some event that it handles on textbox focus in IE (for example) where it slides the (already running I think?) virtual keyboard into view, or pops up the little keyboard tooltip.

Is Process.Start really the way to bring it into view?

I've looked into this in the past, but forgot the details. Sorry. There is some documentation on MSDN in the area of accessibility. Again, sorry about not remembering the details.
