Post New Requests Here / IDEA: launch application upon focusing a GUI element
« on: October 23, 2007, 07:44 AM »
ok, this might sound a bit confusing, let me elaborate.
mouser suggested i post it in here (original: https://www.donationcoder.com/forum/index.php?topic=10517.0)

environment:
  • windows XP / 2000
  • touch-screen display (for windows this is just a simple mouse)
  • 2 applications (A and OSK)
    A: random application with GUI
    OSK: on-screen-keyboard

the idea:
  • monitor A's GUI
  • launch/unhide OSK as soon as focus is given to an edit control (usually needs keyboard input)
  • if edit control looses focus (or OSK has no more GUI-clicking going on, aka timeout) close/hide OSK

candy:
  • make this work global for all running apps
  • make it only work for a list of applications
  • make types of controls that trigger the OSK configurable
  • support for arbitrary OSK apps (windows' own, 3rd party)

alternative:
is there any OSK app out there that already does it?
i couldn't find any.

thats a nice idea.. wouldn't this be a good coding snack -- a program that detects when you are in an editbox or other edit control and launches a configured application when you are?

post it in the coding snacks request section, this seems like something right up skrommel (or some other ahk coder) alley.

i tried that one, and it worked reasonably well :)

Glowcode was one of the ones i was trying to remember the name of  :up:

yup, found that one too, but that's quite an investment ;-)

the main thing here is, that if i focus a control that needs keyboard input (textbox, etc) the on-screen-keyboard should pop up automatically.
i've found a couple of virtual keyboards already, but none have this feature

Hey fellow DCers,

I was wondering if there is any on-screen-keyboard solution that automatically pops up the moment an edit control gets focus.
Any recommendations?
