Adding buttons to the Windows 8 on-screen keyboard

StackOverflow https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13539277

Question

The Microsoft 'stocks' app has a row of buttons that are displayed at the top of the keyboard when you search for stocks:

enter image description here

(See the buttons just above the keyboard)

Is there a way to add these in my own app?

Was it helpful?

Solution

There is exactly the same question here and a person from Microsoft answered:

The keyboard is not extensible. What you see is the bottom AppBar on top of the keyboard in that situation.

I think you should subscribe to Windows.UI.ViewManagement.InputPane.GetForCurrentView().Showing event, to show that application bar with suggestions when screen keyboard is shown.
