I have multiple textbox controls in different views in my app. For each textbox inputScope is set to default or AlphaNumeric. In some scenarious when i open a ContentDialog and close it , KeyboardLayout becomes NumericPic layout for all textboxes, even if i click on windows taskbar keyboard button.
NumericPic is not set anywhere, already checked in all code. Does someone knows anything about this ? Or maybe is a windows issue ?
Checked on Lenovo Tablet , Windows 10 Home Single Language v 1607 and Chuwi Tablet.

i have an app that is intended for a pc with a touchscreen display. I have a built in keyboard for the app. Every time i click a textBox windows displays the icon for me to open windows keyboard. How do i disable that from poping up in my app, BUT still let it pop up outside my app?

I have a kiosk style app, for employees to register gas consumption. and is all made for a tactil screen. When i click either a textBox or a comboBox the icon prompting me to open windows keyboard pops up. I want to stop that from happening since the app already has a keyboard. However, employees can still get access to regular windows, so when they do i want this pop up to happen naturally on the rest of the computer. So, i just want to stop this from happening in my app, and all the solutions i have came across are for windows in generally and not app specific. How to stop this icon from poping up in my app?
I've created a winforms application. All is running fine, also the taskbar button is created and shown in taskbar including the correct icon.
Whenever I move the form from one display to the second display, the taskbar button stays at the display from where the form was initial start.
I also compared the settings with another winforms application where the behaviour is correct. Means, the button is moving/switching/whatever to the active display where the form is moved to.
Hopefully it is just a small thing, but I came not across with it.
It is an OS feature.
For windows 7 there is no built-in support to show taskbar for your second monitor and your taskbar buttons will always show on first monitor taskbar.
For windows 8 you can open Taskbar properties and in Multiple displays settings, check Show taskbar on all displays and then set the value of Show taskbar bottons on: to Taskbar where window is open
I have an universal app and in my app I am using
InputScope="Number"
for many of my textboxes. And in phone application all working, but in windows tablet app when I use it in emulator it opens numberic keyboard (however I am still able to navigate to alphabetical keyboard but this is not an issue).
Issue is with actual tablet. When I use my application in tablet it opens alphabetical keyboard then I have to navigate to numeric keyboard.
What I have tried so far
changed InputScope to Telephone.
Tried in code for changing input scope.
Have you tried the NumberFullWidth ?

UPDATE :
Have you tried another tablet !!
I am currently migrating my Windows Phone App to Windows 8.1 App and there is requirement that when user tap on TextBlock, ComboBox should open. Initially comboBox is collapsed. I tried but what actually happens is, first the comboBox becomes visible on first tap and on second tap the comboBox opens. I did this in Windows Phone 8 using ListPicker, in ListPicker there was a method ListPicker.Open() using which it opened at single tap, but something similar is not available. Please can anyone suggest what can be done. I have created TextBlock and ComboBox dynamically.
You can set ComboBox.IsDropDownOpen property to true.
(I've just googled it, can not test it right now. Let me if it works)
How do I get the state of the Show-Desktop toggle?
Goal:
Show the taskbar when show desktop is toggled and desktop is shown
Hide the taskbar when show desktop is toggled and windows are restore
Problem:
I can toggle show desktop and I can show or hide the taskbar but I cannot find a way to determine the state of the "show desktop" toggle.
I'm working in C# in VS 2010 with .net 2.0 (if it has to have later version .net ok, but I suspect the answer is somewhere in win32 with a pinvoke. Just can't find it)
This app is for a touch screen where getting to a auto-hidden taskbar is nearly impossible. Normally the taskbar is hidden but users would like to get to it when they click show desktop. (i.e. please no non-constructive comments on windows doesn't want you to change the autohide state without user permission)
Semi-Solution that technically meets my project requirements but not the intent of them:
Show the start menu any time show desktop toggles. Of course the start menu disappears when you click anywhere else but... It was shown.
There are several tutorials on how to do this. Just Google
