I'm building a .NET 3.5 sp1 WPF app for use on Windows 7 - is there a way to place the touchscreen keyboard in my application?
NOTE: In contrast to other similar questions I'm not looking to embed the keyboard in my app, I just want to start the keyboard and use it for text entry.
Like Will said...just start the process.
System.Process.Start("osk")
Create a desktop shortcut to a batch file that starts both your application and the Windows on-screen keyboard?

Wpf application targeting .NET Framework 4.6.2 on Windows 10 Enterprise.
The touch keyboard shows up automatically when a text field gets focus.
The computer station must operate in kiosk mode and one way to achieve it is to replace the default shell for the logged in user.
According to How to run custom, non window app in kiosk mode in windows 10 the following registry key was added: HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Shell
Now the application runs in kiosk mode but the virtual keyboard is not shown anymore, so it is useless.
Can someone confirm that automatic keyboard introduced in .NET Framework 4.6.2 doesn't work if the application is launched as the default shell ?
In the article Use Shell Launcher to create a Windows 10 kiosk, talking about the shell launcher Version 2 enhancements, it is reported:
You can use a custom Windows desktop application that can then launch UWP apps, such as Settings and Touch Keyboard.
Is the above keyboard the same one I need ? Following the shell launcher version 2 procedure will the keyboard popup again without rewriting the application code?
Thanks

In a Winforms app running on Windows 10 (Anniversary or greater), is there a way to detect that the Windows onscreen keyboard has opened?
You can periodically enumerate all windows and search for DirectUIHWND class.

I need a multilingual Keyboard for my Silverlight WebApplication. I have now written it with Windows.Forms and Sendkeys. It works fine.
Now the problem is that I want to call it inside from the Silverlight WebApplication with a Click Function on a Textbox or a button so when its pressed the Keyboard pops up. I thought about running the Windows.Forms Application in the Background and tried to FindWindow() with Silverlight but it did not work at all.
I am not sure about using winform. But, you can use win32 methods (so, I guess Winforms too) in Silverlight 5 using PInvoke
I'm looking to put an application window behind all other windows.
I was thinking of using .NET 4 and WPF or Silverlight.
I don't have any specific drawing code, I just want my application window as my desktop wallpaper while retaining the interactivity (no mucking around with screenshots etc).
Is this even possible and if so, how?
Edit: I'm using Windows 7 x64.
Edit 2: I know the desktop is drawn to a window with id 0 (or something like that). Can't I use interop calls to put my window as a child of window 0?
For Windows XP and previous versions, use Active Desktop ad set a web page that runs a Silverlight application.
Is there a way to test the multitouch capability of an application using a non-multitouch enabled machine? I'd like to simulate user input for zoom, scaling and rotating during runtime.
This is for a WPF application written in C#.
Try using multiple mouse cursors:
