Windows 8.1 on Tablet - Getting onscreen keyboard to show up

I have a windows build of my game.
When the windows build is run on a windows 8.1 tablet (no keyboard) the onscreen keyboard does not show up. I've tried the new 4.6 I've tried
TouchScreenKeyboard.isSupported and TouchScreen.open.. but they are not working.
My code (when run on Android and iOS) does popup their keyboards.
Any ideas or workarounds?

Windows build you are running is Windows Standalone?
TouchScreenKeyboard won't work there, you need to build Windows Store App.

If the iTunes sidebar (along left side of iTunes window) is hidden, go up to the menu bar. Under View, select Show Sidebar. With the sidebar visible, does the iPod appear there under DEVICES.
Actually, if the iPod is formatted for Mac, Windows cannot read it, so I think iTunes should automatically prompt you (when you first connect it) to do a Restore, which will reformat the iPod's hard drive for Windows.
When you connect it, what do you see on the iPod's screen?
Is it connected to a USB hub, or directly to a USB port on the computer?
Is the iPod seen n Device Manager or Computer Management or other Windows utility?

How do you get a keyboard to show the correct keys

I'm using my wireless keyboard & mouse from my old PC. It's identified and works OK apart from some keys on it.
On the keyboard, the " character is above the number 2 and the @ is above the ' key. However, they are now swapped around, with the " appearing when I press Shift+' and the @ appearing when I press Shift+2. There are other issues with key on the keyboard and the character that is appearing...pressing end in an edit box does not take me to the end of the line, but rather the end of the page.
Any ideas?

You probably have a non-English keyboard.
To the top right of your screen you should see a US flag. That means the keyboard is using the US layout. If you click the flag you will see a menu item "keyboard viewer". There you can change the setting.
I regularly switch to the German keyboard layout if I have to write in German, and the switch back to US English.
I wouldn't do this, though, as when you switch to a different language setting, you lose certain letters or symbols. I'd get a new keyboard - it's not expensive.

Using Photoshop CC 2014 on a Windows Tablet without a keyboard and mouse

Using Photoshop CC 2014 on a Windows Tablet without a keyboard and mouse can be quite a challenge. Even if you use the experimental 2x UI. You can not use your fingers or to quickly change tools and change settings. You have no shortcut without popping up Windows touch keyboard or leave it up taking a great deal of screen space. If you're using the 2x UI Photoshop uses the screen at half resolution so it displays 1/4 the amount of pixels it could.
Fortunately I found a little touchkey utility on the web the lets you design your own touch keyboards. The can be transparent and you can even paint under them as long as you start the stroke outside the keyboard area. The keyboards can be toggles on and off so you can actually use Photoshop. The utility is small and requires not installation can be run form anywhere. I purchased a Surface Pro 3 a week ago. Its a full fledge PC. Through the home group I can access all machines in my house and using network shares I can access all files on my machines and the network drive on my router, I can print on my Epson 4800 printer. I can show slideshow on my HDTV via Bluetooth using a Microsoft wireless display adapter. I can plug in my Wacom Intuos Pro wireless receiver into the USB 3 port and use my Wacom tablet. Have a very touchy machine. Touch on the keyboard touch pad touch on the Display display and on the Wacom tablet. Could have touch on a mouse but I prefer the Microsoft comfort bluetooth mouse that has six buttons and a four way wheel.
As a tablet its under two pounds. Its quite impressive cost why mor the an iPad but worth the cost to me for with windows I can get at the file system. If you have a Surface Pro 3 you should check out "Touchkey" its handy.

Do a screen screen capture and post it here so we can see what you stating about a white layout...

AIR/Windows 7 Onscreen Keyboard

Hi
Any reason why the onscreen keyboard would stop working when a TextInput is being focused?
* AIR 2.03
* Flex SDK 3.4
* j3500 Motion Computing tablet (http://www.motioncomputing.com.au/products/tablet_pc_J35.asp)
The onscreen keyboard is the default version that comes with windows 7 Professional...The interesting thing is we did not have this issue in the AIR app in the past up until the our latest app update.
There are no definatley no programmical modifications to the default focus behaviour of any text editable fields or anything that would interrupt the default behaviour of the flash/air integration with the onscreen keyboard and the operating system....it should be transparent AIR/Windows 7 function and totally out of our hands...
The soft keyboard will still enter text into input fields, however the keyboard needs to be manually opened. The standard behaviour was...when the wacom pen tapped into a text input, a keyboard icon would appear next to the input and open the keyboard over the AIR app, now that does not work..
We are really at a lose with this issue and need to know which direction to look into. The tablet has all windows and motion computing specific updates applied to it...and can be replicated on other tablets etc..
We have not tried linux or mac installations troubleshooting because do not have direct access.
Any ideas much appreciated.

I am havin the sam eissue as you can tell I have set al setings to fast..and still it skips keys randomly. I have reinstalled drivers and what else can I do? This keyboard came with bundle HP Pavilion s5310f. I need a fix for this issue. I type for a living and this is unacceptble sppeed and tuypps...shew. Any info, help, or new keyboard appreciatd...thisis no working

IdeaPad Yoga Windows 8.1 OnScreen keyboard does not stay open

hi
I just bought a new ideapad yoga and upgraded from windows 8 to windows 8.1. Unfortunately, I can't open the onscreen keyboard. After it opens, it immediately closes itself. This problem has also been described here, but wasn't solved:
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_8-tms/ideapad-yoga-13-virtual-keyboard-does...
Is this a known issue? Does this have anything todo with drivers? - What can I do about it?
Thank you!

Anyone got some tips? How can I contact the Lenovo support otherwise?
I am thinking of selling my Lenovo and buying another (definitely non-Lenovo) device. They always have troubles with their drivers (and have poor support)!! Something like that never happened to my Dell notebooks.
Thanks.

Yoga 2-11 Onscreen Keyboard won't stay up when in tablet mode

I have seen many topics about the onscreen keyboard not staying on when in tablet mode but most of it from 2013. I am having this problem and I cannot find a solution. I have to go to laptop mode to sign in and then go back to tablet mode. The keyboard pops up but as soon as it does it goes away. What is the fix? Yoga 2-11 purchased Dec 2014 from Best Buy.

Thank you for your swift suggestion! I think it has worked I will monitor it for a couple of days

Can't get wireless keyboard to work in Windows 7 under boot camp

I have removed the keyboard in OS X, and when I try to get it to pair it will show up and ask me to enter a string of numbers and hit enter, and when I do, it says it is working, but the keyboard itself stays in discovery mode (blinking light) and doesn't work.
I have followed every guide I can find with no success. Is there anything I have to do after it is 'paired' to be able to actually get the keyboard to realize that it is paired and not automatically go into discovery mode?

This problem is not a problem with Windows or Apple. It has to do with when the updates are applied to Windows boot camp. The way to fix this is as follows. First click on the bluetooth icon from the Windows start page. Then click show bluetooth items. From this window click add a new device. When the device appears double click on the icon for the device. A window should appear that at the top says general and other. Click on the other tab and another window comes up with a small box in it. Check the box and Windows will search and install the exact, correct drivers for the device. Now the device will pair and work fine.

Onscreen Keyboard gets smaller and smaller

Dear Reader.
Because of impairment I heavily depend on onscreen keyboard. But strange things happen with lion: the onscreen keyboard got smaller and smaller. Now it is this tiny, that I even don't have access to the + button to restore the size. Only close and minimize buttons are visible due to small width. Closing and even restarting does not help at all. I don't see any chance to reset to default size.
Please help, if you know about,
I googled very much and didn't find help
Thanks
Harry

If you can't drag the edge then I think deleting the plist might be the next thing to try.
Open a finder window and on the menubar select Finder > Go > hold the option key down to expose Library > click Library.
In the Finder windows for Library go to the Preferences folder and find com.apple.KeyboardViewer.plist and either drag it to the desktop or delete it.
You might have to logoff/logon. The system will create a new plist of the default size.

I accidentally turned off onscreen keyboard without having a wireless one. What do I do to get it back?

I accidentally turned off the onscreen keyboard without having a wireless keyboard. How do I get it back?

Elliot probably has your solution. You have to tap a text field - anywhere that text can be entered - in order for the keyboard to pop up but you can also try these basic steps
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

Working with the MS Word iPad and other office apps: Onscreen keyboard will not minimize

With Microsoft's announcement today of allowing limited editing capabilities in their mobile apps, I installed the updates on my iPad. So far, everything works great...with one exception: The onboard keyboard will not get out of the way...won't
minimize.
I have last year's iPad Air and was trying to use my Bluetooth keyboard with each of the MS Office IOS apps. Consistently, across all of these apps, the keyboard would stay on the screen and the key for minimizing the keyboard had no affect, even though
my Bluetooth keyboard was linked and working. Any other app I use automatically removes the onscreen keyboard when the Bluetooth keyboard is detected.
This does make the applications difficult and not much fun to use.
Any thoughts? Anybody else notice the same issue?
My office has begun deploying Office 2013/365 and I know we'll have some users on iPads and other tablets, so I'm real interested in correcting this if at all possible.

How do I stop the onscreen keyboard from popping up when I click on a text box?

I have a yoga 2 pro and the onscreen keyboard is irritating. How do I stop it from popping up every time I touch the screen? I am only touching the screen to get to the spot where I want to type--- I don't want the onscreen keyboard.
Sometimes it obscures the screen so I can't get to the right spot. Usually it disappears when I start typing, but sometimes I'm not even trying to type-- I'm trying to select something and I can't see it any more because the keyboard has popped up. I close the keyboard to get it out of the way, but it pops up when I try to touch the screen again. So I can never get to the spot I want unless I absolutely hit the exact spot on the first try. It happened even while typing this. I wanted to touch a certain spot in the paragraph, but then the onscreen keyboard popped up and I couldn't see the paragraph any more.
Thanks,

Did you turn off any of the Lenovo software?
I closed a random McAfee process via the task manager in an attempt to stop the notification from popping up every ten minutes telling me to restart.
I also deleted a lot of the tiles from the colorful windows screen. I think some of them were Lenovo apps. They all seemed to be for some specific purpose though, that I knew I would not use. I have forgotten what they were. I did not delete many-- only a few that I knew right off that I would never use. Could that have affected something?

Lumia 2520 Windows RT 8.1 Tablet unable to activat...

About a week or so ago, my Nokia Lumia 2520 tablet with Power Keyboard (purchased through Telstra in Australia) wouldn't start and took me to the Windows RT 8.1 Recovery options. After unsuccessfully trying to use the recovery options to do a refresh, I decided to do a full Reset as all my data was either stored on a MicroSD card or in OneDrive.
Unfortunately, the device has not worked since. The cause of the problem is that when I reset the device (effectively doing a reset to factory default) and then going through the initial set up of Windows RT 8.1, I am advised that I need to activate the device, but the device failes activation and I am getting an error, Error code: 0xc004f012 the licensing software service reported that the call has failed because the value for the input was not found.
I am unable to use Microsoft Office as I am advised it isn't licensed and about 75% of Windows updates fail. I have now reset the device a few times, but I am getting nowwhere.
I rang and spoke to Nokia Australia Support today on 1300 366 733 and they advised me to search and run a command "slui 4", which started a wizard to perform a phone activation, but after selecting Australia as the country, the next windows, which is meant to provide the number to call and provide the installation ID from which I am meant to get an confirmation ID to enter. Unfortunately, the details of the telephone number and installation ID are never displayed, with the circling little dots going for ever!!
In essence, the Windows Activation process is looking for a Windows Product Key, which is not provided. Consequently, I am being asked for a Product key for Windows RT 8.1 even though you don't get one.
Although I will try with Nokia Support again tomorrow, I am starting to getting desperate! Any help will be greatly appreciated.

DB Jones

The date/time is it correct in your tablet? adjust de date and try again to test.
