open the Windows virtual keyboard in a Java program

Question

I would like to create an event in a button.

When I click in the button, I would like to open the Windows virtual keyboard.

Can you help me with the code?

Answer 1

This will work: Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c osk");

cmd /c will launch the process and invoke the UAC if needed.

Advantage:

• And it would avoid privileges issue.

Disadvantage:

• Would not be able to turn off by Process instance on java.
