I could then tap on the search box and type into it using the virtual keyboard. When I ran it again on my T100, at startup when it finished loading the first web page, it focused on the browser control, because the blinking cursor in the address bar TextBox was gone. I decided to test this out more, so I added browser.Focus on FrameLoadEnd, so it would focus on the browser control whenever it finished loading a web page.

When I tap on the DuckDuckGo search box, the virtual keyboard does come up, but when I type, it continues typing in the address bar TextBox, not the DuckDuckGo search box. When running on my T100, it always focuses the address bar TextBox first. When I first start my browser, I don't focus anything (by using.

You could be right, as I have tested this on my Transformer Book T100, without the keyboard dock, and I do think it has to do something with the Focus. I'm speculating if the touch-click even you describe above versus mouse-click behaviour fires different events and it conflicts with CefSharps additional layer of focus handling. I will pursue the insight from your suggestion to test with cefclient- trying to understand the differences between cefclient and CefSharp example apps which have different behavior. With both cefsharp v39.0.2 and cefclient v3.2171.2069 and the example HTML file the touch keyboard does automatically appear. Raymond says touch keyboard does not appear automatically. Oddly enough, Raymond Chen posted a blog today along these general lines. The problem is characters are not appearing in the selected text field after typing keys on the virtual/touch keyboard. In this issue, the virtual keyboard does appear. In that issue they are saying the virtual keyboard does not appear. This seems to suggest the problem may be in CefSharp and some difference between it and cefclient.

On a Surface Pro 3 clicking in the text box positions the cursor as expected, the win8.1 virtual keyboard appears, and typing virtual keys inserts the appropriate characters into the textarea element. I am relatively new to CefSharp- there may be some debugging approaches more experienced CefSharp uses may suggest.

I will continue to debug the problem and welcome ideas on how to fix or debug this issue. The web app is complex so I am working to produce a barebones project that reproduces the problem. These reported problems seem related but not quite the same problem:ДЄnother post suggested using an HTML5 keyboard as a workaround, but I'd really like to avoid adding that complexity and just use the win 8.1's keyboard which I think is the expected way to enter text in win8 apps when you're not using a physical keyboard.

#SURFACE TOUCH KEYBOARD NOT APPEARING WINDOWS 8.1#

Has anyone else experienced this on windows 8.1 when using the win 8.1 virtual keyboard with CefSharp? A few times I've also observed the whole app freeze (window becomes all white and unresponsive and I must kill it in the task manager). Most of the time after clicking on a text input element, the virtual keyboard appears as expected but keyboard presses do not enter any text into the element as described above. (fwiw, I haven't had the problem on any win7 machines- text entry works as expected there.) Clicks on the virtual keyboard are occurring and making click sounds, but characters do not appear in the text input elements. Problem: Keyboard input is critical to this app but on win8.1 devices anywhere in the web app text can be entered (into input or textarea elements) the windows 8.1 virtual keyboard events (if a device doesn't have a physical keyboard or you're choosing not to use it) are not appearing in the text element (no characters show up).

Context: I'm using CefSharp v39.0.2 to run a HTML5 web app as a winforms application.
