UWP : Need to disable on-screen-keyboard on textbox click

Indudhar Gowda 426

Because I need to Invoke third Party on-screen-keyboard.

Tried Below Code....But I was not able to disable on-screen-keyboard.

PreventKeyboardDisplayOnProgrammaticFocus="True"

Both are getting Invoked Microsoft on-screen-keyboard and Third Party Keyboard.

Its not Working, But I tried ishittestvisible=false Its Working, But All Mouse Events are Blocked.

Any of the Solution is Fine..1. either disable on-screen-keyboard or 2.after making ishittestvisible=falseMouse Events Should Work.

Hello,

Welcome to our Microsoft Q&A platform!

You can try to use CoreTextEditContext.InputPaneDisplayPolicy property, it indicates whether the input pane should be shown automatically when focus enters your text input control. The default value is Automatic, so the screen keyboard will display automatically, you can set it as Manual, and when you use InputPane.TryShow() method, the screen keyboard will display.

CoreTextServicesManager manager = CoreTextServicesManager.GetForCurrentView();  
CoreTextEditContext   _editContext = manager.CreateEditContext();  
_editContext.InputPaneDisplayPolicy = CoreTextInputPaneDisplayPolicy.Manual;

Here is an official sample about how to control screen keyboard manually, you can refer to it.

InputPane.GetForCurrentView().TryHide(); : This will work but the problem is I will get a Flickring,

Onscreen Keyboard

Third Party Keyboard will also Come

Then Onscreen Keyboard will Hide which is causing Flickering... I dont wont Hide....I Need to permanently disable Onscreen Keyboard when my application is Working.

Yes, the code I provided is only a small part, for the complete code, you need to refer to the official sample. If you set the InputPaneDisplayPolicy as Manual and don't call the _inputPane.TryShow(); method, the screen keyboard won't display when you click the textbox.

Yes Mate....I did not call _inputPane.TryShow(); method, Yet it shows the onscreen keyboard...

CoreTextServicesManager manager = CoreTextServicesManager.GetForCurrentView();  
           var _editContext = manager.CreateEditContext();  
  
            // Get the Input Pane so we can programmatically hide and show it.  
           var _inputPane = InputPane.GetForCurrentView();  
           _inputPane.Visible = false;  
  
         
            _editContext.InputPaneDisplayPolicy = CoreTextInputPaneDisplayPolicy.Manual;

So currently you can disable on-screen-keyboard successfully, but need extra Selection Text and Mouse Events?
