I think that is wound into to OS so far that you probably won't get it 
to work consistently.  There is a windows program, TabTip.exe, that is 
an onscreen keyboard but getting it to show up when you want is another 
matter.

I think I would just create my own onscreen keyboard if I didn't want my 
users to have to figure out how to get the system onscreen keyboard to 
work.
