Software Keyboard And Taskbar

The software keyboard can be automatically adjusted to the size and position of the
taskbar in order not to conceal it. This depends however on the taskbar options set.
To set the taskbar options:
1. Right-click the taskbar.
2. Choose the Properties command on the shortcut menu.
3. On the Taskbar tab, you can hide the taskbar using the Auto-hide fea-
ture; you can choose whether you want the taskbar to be covered by
other windows using the Keep the taskbar on top of other windows
check box.
Recommendations For Taskbar Configuration
If you want the taskbar to be always visible:
• Auto-hide the taskbar = OFF
• Keep the taskbar on top of other windows = ON
If you do not want the taskbar to be always visible:
• Auto-hide the taskbar = ON
• Keep the taskbar on top of other windows = ON
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. If, however,
an application is maximized or moved over the taskbar, the keyboard
appears 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 keyboard covers the shown taskbar; the covered parts cannot be
selected.
