On-screen keyboard locks up

Post by styts »

Hello,

This might not be a bug of XPadder, but that of the built in Windows On-screen Keyboard program, but this scenario would be helpful to many other users I imagine.

I would like to type somehow with my XPadder, so I start the onscreen keyboard via a shortcut but when I'm done and click 'X' to close it, the cursor gets stuck and XPadder loses control of it. :(
The onscreen keyboard is always on top, but a Ctrl+F4 does not close it, so using a binding like that does not help.

Is there any way to type with XPadder? Please help.

Perhaps there is a (free) alternative onscreen keyboard program for Windows?

PS. Thanks for the cool program, I often don't pay for software but your case is an exception ;)

That's kindly a Windows UAC-issue. Run Xpadder as admin to prevent this problem.
