Hello,

The onscreen keyboard will automatically maximize when the focus is on an input filed and minimize when the focus is not in an input field.

But on the Google page the focus is always on the input field. You even can verify this with using a hardware keyboard. Just click outside the search field and then press any key at the keyboard. The text will automatically appear at the input field.
This applies to the code of the web page.

Hello,

SiteKiosk will just use the corresponding Windows API events to maximize the onscreen keyboard when an input is required and minimize the onscreen keyboard when the input is not required anymore.

I am sorry but the issue on www.gazetakrakowska.pl is not reproducible.
On my system the keyboard will minimize provided no advertisement banner is displayed.
Otherwise the advertisement popup on that web page is making the focus stay captured in the input field.
You will have the same behavior on e.g. Windows 7 with the onscreen keyboard of Windows hat automatically displays when using input fields (tested with IE).

So even the issue on you page is that the focus is still on the input field.

Unfortunately, windows keyboard works in differen way then SK keyboard.
I prepare small test script to test it.
SK keyboard works well when i use buttons but if SKKBD is opened and I touch touchscreen on background SK keyboard is still open.

Hi,

the Keyboard works as designed. If you nedd additional functions you can use our object model to define if the keyboard occurs or dissapears.
