Question

I faced an interesting but tough(as for me) problem. I have a requirement for Windows metro-style application to invoke keyboard with numeric layout activated for some specific TextBoxes. After some research I found it hard to even show/hide that keyboard by request not talking about such layout manipulation. So my question is how can I activate specific layout for on-screen keyboard(like numeric or smilies layout) in Windows Metro?

this post may not give you complete answer for your question, but to activate numeric keyboard for textboxes you can use below code

TextBox.InputScope = new InputScope
            {
                Names =
                {
                    new InputScopeName(InputScopeNameValue.Number)
                }
            };
