Touch keyboard text input sample

Shows how to enable optimized views on the touch keyboard by using input scopes and input types with controls in the WinJS.UI namespace, and with the TextBox and RichEdit Extensible Application Markup Language (XAML) controls. Also, this sample demonstrates spell checking by using the spellcheck and IsSpellCheckEnabled properties, and it shows text prediction by using the IsTextPredictionEnabled property.

Note: This sample is part of a large collection of UWP feature samples. If you are unfamiliar with Git and GitHub, you can download the entire collection as a ZIP file, but be sure to unzip everything to access shared dependencies. For more info on working with the ZIP file, the samples collection, and GitHub, see Get the UWP samples from GitHub. For more samples, see the Samples portal on the Windows Dev Center.

The input types shown in this sample are:

  • URL
  • Email
  • Password
  • Number
  • Search
  • Telephone

Note Because of a known issue, the first Scenario in the JS sample does not work properly in Phone - the text controls in the JS sample do not obey the "spellcheck" attribute.

Note The Windows universal samples require Visual Studio 2017 to build and Windows 10 to execute.

To obtain information about Windows 10, go to Windows 10
