I'm trying to trick windows 8 into thinking there is a touch screen connected.
I've been searching the web for a way to bring up the keyboard that should be displayed once you click on a text box (while with a touch screen), but I've come up empty...
Can anyone tell if there is a way to get the virtual (not OSK!) keyboard in metro to come up even without a touch screen?
Perhaps a setting or some work-around.
Thanks
One way to do this is to run your application inside of the Visual Studio simulator. To do this click on the drop-down in the debug menu and change the selection from Local Machine to Simulator:
Then when you debug, VS will bring up a device simulator. You can then click on the hand in the upper right to enable using the mouse in touch mode:
Finally, click on a control that requires the keyboard, and you should see the onscreen keyboard come up.
More info on Testing Windows 8 apps using Visual Studio 2012 at MSDN.

The following "crop circles" appeared on my Android emulator AVD
and it hanged. What is this, how to recover from this and disable this?
Probably it is a reaction of keyboard switch and/or shift button press.
These circles are the multi touch functionality that Android Emulator AVD provides. Are shown when the Ctrl key is pushed. If these circles are activated without holding Ctrl key then you can deactivate them by going to Setting->General->send keyboard shortcuts and change it from Emulator Controls to Virtual Device
One small detail people overlooked. You have to run the Emulator in standalone mode, and not linked to the tool window. When you run it Standalone the Multi-Touch gesture works as described...
Nexus 5X, Nexus 6P and Android 6.0.1 offer a shortcut to launch the camera by pressing twice on the device power button.
There is a way to disable this shortcut manually in:
Settings
Display
Switch off the "Press power button twice for camera" option.
Is there a way to disable this service programmatically?
In Android 7.1, this feature is located under "Moves (Quick gestures to control your phone)" in Settings.
I'm using Mac OSX 10.9. I made the settings in system preferences->Dock->select "Minimise windows into application icon". The desktop application(objective c) which i created opens a popup window on clicking a button. Once minimised that popup window to the dock i'm unable to maximise it again. Even i tried the function - (BOOL)applicationShouldHandleReopen. But its not responding.
Please help me to resolve it.
Thanks in advance
I have successfully built wxWidgets, 2.9.4 and the samples on Mac OS X, xubuntu and WinXP. Running the taskbar sample on all three platforms, there is an icon on the task bar but also an icon showing a running application. This is not normal task bar app behavior, right?
It is normal taskbar behavior. wxTaskBarIcon adds the icon to the system tray. on Windows the application's icon in taskbar is controlled by other API.
See this and this.
I just picked up the code for an application our overseas developer has made for us. For some reason, when the application starts, no icon pops up in the Dock (with the little blue circle below).
If I manually add the app to the Dock and start it from the Dock, it will run the application, but the icon won't be illuminated with the blue circle (no indication that it is running).
Where would I have to start in order to solve this problem? (e.g. to make it clear that the application is running by having an icon in the Dock with the blue circle below it).
Thanks!
Either you are running Mac OS X Lion with the indicator turned off (see Dock settings) or you app is configured as a UI element in the Info.plist file (LSUIElement is YES).
Set LSUIElement to NO/false in Info.plist.
