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.

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.
