             Summary: Windows 8 on-screen touch keyboard not displaying
                 Key: FLEX-33372
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLEX-33372
             Project: Apache Flex
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Spark: TextArea, Spark: TextInput
    Affects Versions: Adobe Flex SDK 4.6 (Release)
         Environment: Windows 8 Metro
Internet Explorer (IE) 10.0.1
Flash Player 11,3,378,5
            Reporter: Stepan Hilbert


On-screen touch keyboard is not being displayed for spark text input components. It should get displayed just as it gets displayed for TextField based components.

Additionally, it would be desirable to control the keyboard using:
- needsSoftKeyboard property
- requestSoftKeyboard() function
These currently have no effect.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a Flex application that features s:TextInput and mx:TextInput
2. Open this application in the Metro Internet Explorer on a touch-enabled Windows 8 PC/Tablet. You might need to edit the DebugDomain variable (see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-au/library/ie/jj193557%28v=vs.85%29.aspx)
3. Tap the mx:TextInput - on-screen keyboard shows
4. Tap the s:TextInput - on-screen keyboard doesn't show

Note:
This bug has been discussed on the web
(i.e. here: http://flexcoders.10928.n7.nabble.com/windows-8-store-app-onscreen-keyboard-invoking-td111950.html)
but no resolution has been reached, so that is why I'm logging this issue.
