I'd like to add a "hide button" each time the keyboard shows up so that user can see all the screen when he needs to.
In iPhone this toolbar exists, is it possible to do the same for windows phone anyhow ?
You cannot change the default keyboard. Still here is a tutorial to create a custom keyboard on Windows Phone 7.

I will be developing a JavaFX app for Windows 10. Does anyone know whether a JavaFX TextField on focus can trigger Windows 10 to show up its on screen keyboard?
Your experience is much appreciated!
JavaFX knows how to notify the on-screen touch keyboard HOWEVER we did not find a way to open a specific keyboard type according to the textfield value type.
Other than that assume that the keyboard will always hide the buttom 1/3 part of your app - so that IF you need that real-estate to be active when user types input in - it can't be done.
we are only able to use default layout - see Touch keyboard index on https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/mt280229.aspx
A follow up on changing they keyboard layout is here:Set numeric layout for windows onscreen keyboard programmatically
I am looking for a way to open a custom popup when appbar is opened on windows phone 8. What event shall i capture via which i can open the popup along with the appbar. Thank you in advance.
You need to capture the StateChanged event of the ApplicationBar. More on this here:

I'm working on a non-touch device (regular PC...) with a keyboard. I've written a Windows 8 App, which includes TextBox.
I want to launch the Touch Keyboard, when the user uses a device without a keyboard (=Tablet/Phone). How can I test it?
I.e. when I use the Visual Studio simulator for Windows 8 and choose "taps" as the gesture, the virtual touch keyboard still won't popup. Is there any specific moment where Windows is using the keyboard automatically? I'd actually like to test the Touch Keyboard to check the InputScope (i.e. InputScope="Number") and the 'look of the app', when the keyboard pops up.
If needed, my TextBox looks like this:
<TextBox InputScope="Number"/>
Edit: The keyboard pops up now (I don't know why...). I've started the simulator and used "taps" as gesture and the keyboard didn't pop up. After restarting the simulator ~5 times, it pops up now, but the InputScope is not Number...
Visual Studio 2012 comes with a Simulator that you can run your Windows 8 app in. On the right of that, you may notice buttons near the top, one that's a pointer and another that's a finger. If you use the finger, then all input will be touch input, as if there were no keyboard.
I am working on an application in Windows Phone 7.1. I have a page with textbox and button to take input from user. Today suddenly my on-screen keyboard (shown when clicked on textbox) is not working. Button click is also not hitting the method in codebehind. It was working when last time I worked on app. I created another app and tested that on screen keyboard and button clicks are working there. Has someone else faced this issue and is anybody having any idea what's going wrong?
Maybe you just closed emulator keyboard by using "Page Down"/"Page Up" keys? There are few keyboard shortcuts for WP7 emulator.
I have a windows phone 7 app that uses GPS to track user position. Now the user can disable this feature through the phone's setting menu. the app handles this disabling fine and gives them a message. This is all pretty standard windows phone stuff.
My question is whether I can navigate (inside the app) to the settings menu so that the user can enable phone location services? Ideally I would give them a link or a button that they touch and they are then taken out of the app to the settings menu. They would then click 'back' and return to the app.
No, at the moment, there's no way to fire up the Settings menu from inside your app.
Try this:
Windows.System.Launcher.LaunchUriAsync(new Uri(“ms-settings-location:”));
Not sure if it works on WP7 though.
