Keyboard while using apps

Hi,
So I was wondering if there is a way to force the keyboard to show while running an app. In Softmaker Office for example, the keyboard does not show up when you select an area to type in - which sort of makes the suite a reader suite rather than an office suite. Or do the programs need to be specifically programmed for the M8?

Anybody got some ideas? :-)

You most likely have to edit the app using the SDK to show the keyboard. I don't own an M8 so sorry that I can not be of more help to you.

Thank you for the reply
Regards

Link this is Softmaker Office with button to show/hide kb. You must extract it to Disk\Programs\SoftMaker2k8 , and run not textmaker.exe or planmaker.exe, but with showkb_tm.exe and showkb_pm.exe. If you want to change interface language, you may download full package from softmaker site and replace *.dwr files.

hello, got interested on the topic here.
but i have a question.. does this run on any version of the firmware? particularly 0.9.0.4? thanks

The link is down. this keyboard button would really come in handy.
Thanks anyways.

To be frank ive just tried the version that alexeei posted, and his app with keyboard, that opens via the .exe filesm only displays a show/hide button for the keyboard.

yeah, i've tried the app. keyboard pops up but frozen, eventually the portion of the screen where the keyboard is located hanged.

alexeei, were you able to make this work? is there a particular setup or system requirement we need to make this work?

thank you..

Originally it works only with the Micron Touch keyboard - Microinvest Web Oasis , all coordinates of keyboard made for it... So you must install it, if you want to use this program (it can switch between EN/RU layouts)... I don't test this program with the default keyboard, because it hasn't russian layout

hello Alexeei.. just wondering if you were able to make the keyboard pop out on the 9.0.6 firmware while using the softmaker apps?
thanks.

There were a software you can call anything in m8,but it is a Chinese version.

Use it you can call for the keyboard anywhere even in the calling screan

what is the software? naybe somebody can help to translate it into english. thanks a lot.
