Touch screen application - touch screen keyboard

[Simon Verona]

I know that Windows has a "clickable" keyboard that can pop up when
necessary..

I have a touch-screen based application. Is there anyway that I can utilise
this keyboard application in windows to automatically fill the current
textbox if a button is pushed to display the keyboard?????? Or do I have to
write my own popup keyboard?

Thanks in advance
Simon

I'm sure it's possible in .Net.... in VB6, it's just a single line of
code...

'=====
Private Sub Command1_Click()
'Since osk.exe is in a folder that's included in the
'Path environment variable, this is all it takes.
Call Shell("OSK.exe")
End Sub
'=====

Once it's on screen, a little more code to set focus to the correct box and
you're set.

Thanks for the details... looks like I might need to do my own keyboard
though, the buttons are too small for touch screen use...
