Hi,

I don't have a windows tablet/phone so I can't test that option but other CEF projects use command line switches to activate it.

https://github.com/cztomczak/cefpython/issues/57
https://github.com/cefsharp/CefSharp/issues/1691

Those web pages say that you should use :
  • --disable-usb-keyboard-detect
  • --touch-events=enabled
You can test those switches using the GlobalCEFApp.AddCustomCommandLine procedure before the GlobalCEFApp.StartMainProcess call like this :
  • GlobalCEFApp.AddCustomCommandLine('--disable-usb-keyboard-detect');
  • GlobalCEFApp.AddCustomCommandLine('--touch-events', 'enabled');
In case those switches don't work, take a look at this list :

Hi!
thanks a lot!
is this a Chrome built in keyboard or is it the Windows system keyboard?

I'm not sure but for the switch's name it looks like the Windows system keyboard.

looks like it is the Windows built in keyboard.
