[Romeo]

Hi

i am tring to work with win8 pro tablet.

I am using the:

ShellExecute(, "open", "TabTip.Exe")

to show the kb when i need it (just before get)

but at the end of get i am not able to close it.

Any help ?

it does not work.

I need something like dos command: TASKKILL ..... to end the tabtip.exe execution process

Romeo,

We may need to use:

EnumProcesses() http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms682629(v=vs.85).aspx

and

TerminateProcess() http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms686714(v=vs.85).aspx

Hi,

My funcs from my windows 8 tablet development:

Code: Select all  Expand view

//-------------------------------------------------------------------------//
// For Windows 8.
FUNCTION ShowInputPanel()
*
ShellExecute(, "open", "tabtip.exe")
*
RETURN NIL
*
//-------------------------------------------------------------------------//
// For Windows 8.
FUNCTION HideInputPanel()
Local hWndInputPanel
*
hWndInputPanel:= FindWindow("IPTip_Main_Window")
PostMessage(hWndInputPanel, WM_SYSCOMMAND, SC_CLOSE, 0)
* (¿ SysRefresh() ? )
RETURN NIL

i get error with:

PostMessage(hWndInputPanel, WM_SYSCOMMAND, SC_CLOSE, 0)

what are WM_SYSCOMMAND and SC_CLOSE ?

And how can i detect if the kb is loaded ?

Hi

[Antonio Linares]

Romeo,

#define WM_SYSCOMMAND 0x0112
#define SC_CLOSE 0xF060

to check if the keyboard is open you can do:

Code: Select all  Expand view

function IsKeyboardVisible()

return FindWindow( "IPTip_Main_Window" ) != 0
 

Antonio, thanks!
