Windows RT/WP8 Keyboard not working

| Windows 8/WP8 Enable Keyboard is no longer working. Thanks. |

| Did the virtual keyboard ever work on winrt? I remember wasting a crap load of time trying to *get* it to work, but I'm not sure I ever did. I'll have another look soon (it may be easier now that winrt projects include 'xaml'). The physical keyboard should work fine though? |
| ||
| Not sure if it did work with RT, but definitely worked with WP8, the physical keyboard is also not working with RT or Windows 8 Store apps? |
| ||
| winrt_winphone8 EnableKeyboard should be working again in v79a, but I'm still stumped by winrt_win8. |
| ||
| Great thanks. |

| Hi, it is almost working :) It pops up now but disappears if you press anywhere on the Monkey app screen, I have some textboxes, if I enable the keyboard and the press on the next textbox the keyboard disables itself. Thanks. |

| I'll have a look, but unfortunately I'm not sure there's much I can do about this - it's just the way the 'new' way of reading the keyboard works. If it loses focus, the keyboard is hidden automatically. You should get sent a GetChar of 27 when this happens though, so worse case you could re-enable the keyboard? If you're also developing for Android/iOS, you'll need to take care of this anyway as these targets also allow the user to abruptly 'close' the keyboard, which is basically the same thing. Stupid thing is, the pre-xaml version of EnableKeyboard was basically *one* call to an internal API that did exactly what we need! But the xaml-ized version needs to use a 'hidden' textbox and other ugly hacks to achieve the same thing, much of which leaves us at the mercy of how the winrt gui works. |
