If I don't have an easy way to detect that, my workaround is adding a global flag to my API to accept a parameter on startup specifying that option. Now, I should want to hide the keyboard on focus lost? I don't see an easy way to do that other than running a kill process command. I'd rather terminate it gracefully. > > Funny, tabtip is not in the default Windows path. I opened cmd.exe which defaulted to my c:\users path and typed tabtip and it says not a recognized command, but osk does work by default. > It is surprising that this issue didn't bubble up earlier as touch screens and on-screen-keyboards have been around for some time. I don't know about using osk or tabtip, I think a Java solution would be more likely to work now and in the future (but I have been wrong before :-) -- Knute Johnson
