Launching windows touch keyboard in editor

Hi!

I am making a touch app using Unity 2017.1 and Windows 10.

I am trying to launch the keyboard while playing in the editor using this code:

   var keyboard = TouchScreenKeyboard.Open("test");

However, it does not show up and the keyboard.active is set to false.

So I have two questions:

  1. Is it not possible to show the keyboard while playing in the editor?
  2. How can I make the keyboard show up? Do I need to convert it to a Windows Store App?

Thanks!

Hey,
i found this:
"In C#, you can simply write the following line of code to invoke the on-screen keyboard application that comes with Windows:

System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(“osk.exe”);"

Hope it helps.

I have created an easy to use script that makes the Windows Onscreen Keyboard popup when a (TextMeshPro) inputfield is selected.
