How to load Windows "On-Screen Keyboard" application using LabVIEW

[Himanshu_Goyal]

Hi,

According to Bijay its working fine on command prompt and manual open on desktop then no point for administrative or any kind of user rights issue.

I have a alternative way to open osk.exe, You can try on system and let me know its working for you or not....

Function available in

Programmes-->Dialogs and User Interface-->help-->Open URL in Default Browser (string).vi

Hi,

Is there a way to choose on wich screen the virtual keyboard will open?  I have 2 touchscreens on one computer and I would like to open the osk on the screen on wich the application is called the osk.

Thank you,

Thank you so much it is working for windows 10 OS with the 64-bit processor but I couldn't take the value typed on the onscreen keyboard.

what should i do to get that value?

The OSK works just like a normal keyboard. it sends key presses to the whatever is listening.

You need to either:

+ give a control (e.g. a string) key focus, or

+ catch key down events of the active VI, or

+ use the Input Device Control palette functions to pull the keyboard data, or

+ use MS functions (like GetKeyboardState) to pull the data.

I'd go for the first when possible...

Hi,

the attached VI is able to show and hide both types of the on screen keyboard (OSK and TabTip).

If it could help someone...

Greetings
