Hello,
I'm writing an Application for Windows 7. With Tablet Functions installed Windows is supposed to display a small Button to open the on Screen Keyboard as soon as one touches an input Control. This works fine in my App for the standard WPF Textboxes and it used to work with the XamNumericEditor prior to the last Servicerelease of Infragistics 17.1.
Even after Updating to 17.2 it still is not working on the XamNumericEditor but works fine with Textboxes.
Testing the behavior with the SampleBrowser it seems to work for all Infragistics Versions (even 17.2).
That leads into thinking, that something I have added causes a Problem. So I made a test app with only a Stackpanel, two XamNumericEditors and a Textbox. But in tihs testapp the behavior is the same as in my App. The Textbox brings up that Keyboard Button, the XamNumericEditors don't.
I added the Testapp for reference.
Any hint or Workaround is welcome, as right now I have no clue what causes my Apps not to bring up the Keyboardbutton for the Infragistics Controls.
RegardsThomas Stüven

Thank you for the detailed information you have provided.
When working with the XamNumericEditor and using the Tablet features of Windows 7, the different behavior of the control in the 17.1 RTM (1000) build and the last Service Release could be related to modifications over the visual tree of the editor.
Would you please provide me with a screenshot of the entire visual tree (by inspecting with the Snoop application for example) of the XamNumericEditor when it is in edit mode for both the working (keyboard icon appears) and the non-working (keyboard icon does not appear) application? This way I will be able to examine the tree in your specific scenario and provide you with further details.
please use the Screenshots Andreas provided. He's a collegue of me.
Thank YouThomas
