CoreWindow.IsKeyboardInputEnabled property

Windows Phone only. Gets or sets whether the on-screen keyboard is displayed to the user for text input.

Syntax

public bool IsKeyboardInputEnabled { get; set; }

Property value

Type: System.Boolean [.NET] | Platform::Boolean [C++]

Whether the keyboard is displayed.

Remarks

If all of the following conditions occur, the value of the IsKeyboardInputEnabled property might not be accurate:

1. You use the default buffer. (For example, you do not provide your own KeyboardInputBuffer.)

2. You programmatically open the on-screen keyboard by setting IsKeyboardInputEnabled to true.

3. The user presses the back button, which closes the on-screen keyboard.

4. You read IsKeyboardInputEnabled and expect the value to be false (since the on-screen keyboard was closed), but the value is true.

There are multiple workarounds for this scenario:

• Do not use the default buffer.
• Do not use IsKeyboardInputEnabled.
• Listen to the Hiding event and set IsKeyboardInputEnabled to false.
• Use the OccludedRect property to see if the on-screen keyboard is open.
