Hello!

I tried to use the InputScope and set it to Numbers, but the keyboard still looks the same. I would like to switch to a simple numPad-styled Keyboard, when entering a TextBox?

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance
Thomas

You need to use SurfaceKeyboard.Layout Property[^] by setting public enum KeyboardLayout to "Numeric":

Gets or sets the layout of the Surface on-screen keyboard: alphanumeric or numeric.

I cannot get this to work with the standard Win7 onscreen keyboard.
