Come mostrare, nascondere, spostare o ridimensionare la tastiera su schermo in Java, C#, C++, Visual Basic, Delphi, ecc.

È possibile usare i messaggi di Windows per controllare la tastiera virtuale.

Esempio:

WM_CSKEYBOARD = WM_USER + 192;
WM_CSKEYBOARDMOVE = WM_USER + 193;
WM_CSKEYBOARDRESIZE = WM_USER + 197;

// to show keyboard
PostMessage(FindWindow('TFirstForm', 'hvkFirstForm'), WM_CSKEYBOARD, 1, 0);

// to close keyboard
PostMessage(FindWindow('TFirstForm', 'hvkFirstForm'), WM_CSKEYBOARD, 2, 0);

// to fade keyboard
PostMessage(FindWindow('TFirstForm', 'hvkFirstForm'), WM_CSKEYBOARD, 3, 0);

// to toggle (show/hide) keyboard
PostMessage(FindWindow('TFirstForm', 'hvkFirstForm'), WM_CSKEYBOARD, 4, 0);

// to move keyboard (Left, Top - new position)
PostMessage(FindWindow('TFirstForm', 'hvkFirstForm'), WM_CSKEYBOARDMOVE, Left, Top);

// to resize keyboard
PostMessage(FindWindow('TFirstForm', 'hvkFirstForm'), WM_CSKEYBOARDRESIZE, Width, Height);

Codice di esempio Visual Basic 2008 (VB.NET):

Const WM_CSKEYBOARD = &H400 + 192
Const WM_CSKEYBOARDMOVE = &H400 + 193
Const WM_CSKEYBOARDRESIZE = &H400 + 197
