Windows tablet touch keyboard does not open when text field is focused

When focus is received in TextField

, the touchscreen keyboard does not appear.

I suppose because the JavaFx app doesn't support Metro?

I find a way to pop up on the keyboard:

public class Controller {

   public static void showVirtualKeyboard(
      ObservableValue<? extends Boolean> observable,
      Boolean                            oldState,
      Boolean                            hasFocus )
   {
      if( hasFocus ) {
         try {
            Runtime.getRuntime().exec(
               "cmd /c \"C:\\Program Files\\Common Files\\microsoft " +
               "shared\\ink\\tabtip.exe\"" );
         }
         catch( final Throwable t ) {
            LogHelper.severe( t );
         }
      }
   }
}

      

        
        
        
      

    

In any view:

final class VisualAnalysis extends GridPane implements IView {

   private final TextField tech = new TextField();

   @Override
   public void setController( Controller ctrl   ) {
      ...
      tech.focusedProperty().addListener( Controller::showVirtualKeyboard );
   }

      

        
        
        
      

    

This is a workaround. Have you found a better way?
