Remarks

If all of the following conditions occur, the value of the IsKeyboardInputEnabled property might not be accurate:

• 1. You use the default buffer. (For example, you do not provide your own KeyboardInputBuffer.)
• 2. You programmatically open the touch keyboard by setting IsKeyboardInputEnabled to true.
• 3. The user presses the back button, which closes the touch keyboard.
• 4. You read IsKeyboardInputEnabled and expect the value to be false (since the touch keyboard was closed), but the value is true. There are multiple workarounds for this scenario:

• Do not use the default buffer.

• Do not use IsKeyboardInputEnabled.

• Listen to the Hiding event and set IsKeyboardInputEnabled to false.

• Use the OccludedRect property to see if the touch keyboard is open.
