Hello.

We need to write a new program to show, hide and get the size (height and width) of the on-screen keyboard showed by TabTip.exe. It could be a DLL to be called by other programs.

I know we can invoke the keyboard by running TabTip.exe. The problem is to hide the keyboard when it is no longer necessary. Searching in the net I found many people killing the process to do this task, but it is not a "developer solution".

I also need to know the height and width of the keyboard in the screen, so I can size windows to avoid that area.

It seems to be a frequent question, but after some days searching I was not found a good solution. I had already read the Raymond Chen articles but they apply to Windows 8 and I'm developing desktop applications for Windows 10.

Is there anyone who made it happen? It should be a simple thing to do, but I have not found any piece of working code .

Thank you.
