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 working in a UWP application. I have a situation where I need to open the taptip keyboard. The device needs to be in desktop mode and the keyboard should open on a button click. Is there any way I can achieve this functionality?
I know it works fine in tablet mode when a text box gets focus but I need to get it done in desktop mode and on a button click.
I know it can be done from a console application using System.Diagnostics.Process but I need a way around for uwp app.
The user can enable the tip to show when a text box gets focus in a desktop app by setting the "Show the touch keyboard when not in tablet mode and there's no keyboard attached". Apps should generally defer to the user's preferences on this rather than trying to override this themselves.
That said, you can show and hide the InputPane via the InputPane.TryShow and InputPane.TryHide methods.
You'll do essentially the same from a desktop app via the IInputPaneInterop and IInputPane2 interfaces. Launching tabtip.exe explicitly is limited and not generally recommended.
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 want to disable these buttons on my android keyboard tablet :
Because, if the user press these buttons, they can quit my application, and normally, they can't
I develop with Visual Studio 2015 Xamarin in MVVMCross
How can i do that ?
Thank you
You can't disable these buttons as far as I know. And even if you could, a user can always install other keyboards that you don't have control over.
Modifier keys are not triggering the EditorAction event of an EditText control, so those won't help you (only for Done and Del, for example). The OnKeyUp or OnKeyDown event won't help you either.
One solution could be to implement a keyboard like banking apps often do, however that would be a hassle for a complete keyboard (most banking apps only show digits for a PIN-code). It depends on the specific use case and context of your app if this would work for you.
But really think about why you would want to prevent the user from quitting the app. If it is needed for an enterprise or school, there are solutions with Mobile Device Management that should work. An app for taking exams for example, would require this.
I'm Building a very basic game for windows phone based on one I created for iOS. In iOS there is a event for when the screen is pressed. I have looked and cannot find a equivalent in windows phone so have decided to use a large button placed over the entire of the view however i have the issue that when i press the button it fills out in the accent colour. i have tried changing the clickmode .ect to solve this as suggested in some older posts for windows phone 7 however none of these seem to be working. Any help is appreciated
Thanks
Found a better solution for my requirements.
Realised that if on the root of the application page i can set a Tap event to fire code so his works like touchesBegan on iOS
