Hi all,

I try this and it seems to work :

B4X:
#VirtualMachineArgs: -Dcom.sun.javafx.virtualKeyboard=javafx -Dcom.sun.javafx.touch=true


EDIT : work only when running from B4J. Doesn't work when running directly the jar file. An idea ?

VirtualMachineArgs is only used when you run from the IDE. If you are running your app from the command line then you can add the same arguments:
B4X:
java -jar <your jar> -Dcom.sun...
You can also try to set these properties when the program starts with:
B4X:
SetSystemProperty("com.sun.javafx.virtualKeyboard", "javafx")
SetSystemProperty("com.sun.javafx.touch", "touch")
Whether it will have the same effect depends on the point that JavaFX checks these properties.

Running it from the command line must work as this is the same as what happens in the IDE.
However the -jar <jar file> should be last (unlike the line I previously wrote).

Work great like that !
Thks a lot...

Add this line to your app and see whether it disables the keyboard:
B4X:
SetSystemProperty("com.sun.javafx.virtualKeyboard", "none")
No Erel, the virtualkeyboard always show. :(

It's possible show and hide from code? (Whit Inline java for example)
