https://stackoverflow.com/questions/38774139/show-touch-keyboard-tabtip-exe-in-windows-10-anniversary-edition#51376030
The keyboard toggle ( ITipInvocation.Toggle() )
does _ N O T _ always bring up the "touch keyboard"
( Win10 DesktopMode Ver 1803 ).
The solution: use IFrameworkInputPane.Location() to see if the keyboard
is "down" ( off screen ) and, if it is, kill the keyboard processes
and relaunch them before bringing it "up" ( on screen ) again.
This solution has been tested by me, over several days,
and confirmed to work every time, no ( R A N D O M ) stalling.
To toggle the keyboard on and off ( from X.CPP in Jeff-Relf.Me/X.ZIP ):
if ( WM == WM_HOTKEY && C == 'K' ) {
// A mouse button takes me here. Jeff-Relf.Me/g600.PNG
unsigned __int64 u[2] ; IFrameworkInputPane *Loc ;
Loc = 0, CoCreateInstance( CLSID_FrameworkInputPane, 0,
CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER, IID_IFrameworkInputPane, (void**) & Loc );
// "__int64 u[2]" is the same size as "RECT";
// both are four 32 bit ints: top, left, bottom, right.
if ( !Loc || ( Loc->Location( (RECT*)&u ), Loc->Release(), !*u && !u[1] ) )
// The keyboard is "down" ( off screen ),
// Kill&ReStart it before bringing it "up" ( on screen ).
