Before you begin:

Instead of relying on the physical keyboard to type and enter data, user can type on Windows On-Screen Keyboard. On-Screen Keyboard displays a visual keyboard with all the standard keys.

On-Screen Keyboard executable file, osk.exe, can be found in the System32 directory. On 64-bit systems this file cannot be started from 32-bit process. File System Redirector article on MSDN explains why this happens:
32-bit applications can access the native system directory by substituting %windir%\Sysnative for %windir%\System32. WOW64 recognizes Sysnative as a special alias used to indicate that the file system should not redirect the access.
 
#DEFINE MAX_PATH 260
#DEFINE OSK_EXE "osk.exe"
 
DO declare

        OSK_EXE )
 
    IF FILE(cPath)
        RETURN m.cPath
    ENDIF
 
    cPath = PathCombine(;
        GetSysDir(),;
        OSK_EXE )
 
RETURN IIF(FILE(cPath), m.cPath, OSK_EXE)
 
FUNCTION GetSysDir
    LOCAL cBuffer, nBufsize
    cBuffer=REPLICATE(CHR(0), MAX_PATH)
    nBufsize= GetSystemDirectory(@cBuffer, LEN(cBuffer)) 
RETURN SUBSTR(cBuffer, 1, nBufsize)
 
FUNCTION PathCombine(p1, p2, p3, p4, p5) As String
    LOCAL cBuffer, cPath1, cPath2, nIndex, nCount
    nCount = PCOUNT()

    CASE nCount = 0

My comment:

On-Screen Keyboard class name is "OSKMainClass". With this knowledge, a VFP application can detect whether the On-Screen Keyboard window is visible -- by calling FindWindow. It can also move and hide the keyboard -- by calling SetWindowPos or similar API function.
