Please note the following special features:
• Auto-hide the taskbar = OFF
Keep the taskbar on top of other windows = OFF
The software keyboard positions itself over the visible taskbar. However, if an applica-
tion is maximized or moved over the taskbar, the keyboard will appear to be hanging in
the air (since the taskbar does not automatically change its position). To prevent this,
one of the two taskbar options must be enabled.
• Auto-hide the taskbar = ON
If automatic hiding of the taskbar is enabled, the software keyboard always positions
itself along the extreme edge of the screen. If the taskbar is then automatically shown on
the screen, the position of the software keyboard remains unchanged.
With the option Keep the taskbar on top of other windows = OFF, the software key-
board covers the shown taskbar; the covered parts cannot be selected.
With the option Keep the taskbar on top of other windows = ON, the shown taskbar
covers the software keyboard. With the next key press on the visible portion of the soft-
ware keyboard, the software keyboard returns to the foreground again.
6.3.5 Operation
The software keyboard is controlled using a touch pen or your finger tips on the touch-
screen. All key presses are passed to the currently active application program.
