B4J Question Show keyboard on windows 8.1 tablet pc

[avacondios]

Hi,
I am running a desktop b4j application under windows 8.1 with java 7 and I want automatic to display the virtual keyboard when a textfield has a focus.

help please...

 

[Erel]

Try to add this line:

#VirtualMachineArgs: -Dcom.sun.javafx.isEmbedded=true -Dcom.sun.javafx.touch=true

Hi Erel,

I have tried that without any success. Do you have any other idea ?

 

[Erel]

Seems like it is not possible (without using JNI to call a Windows API).

Hi all,

I try this and it seems to work :

#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 ?

 

[Erel]

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:

java -jar <your jar> -Dcom.sun...

You can also try to set these properties when the program starts with:

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.

Hi Erel,

Thanks for your response.

The 2 solutions doesn't work. :-(
I 'm still on trying to resolve this pb.

Regards.

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).

No, this is the virtualkeyboard controls of javafx.
I have only update the Raspbian wheezy image.

Add this line to your app and see whether it disables the keyboard:

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)

 

[Erel]

No. There is no API to control it.
