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.
 
private static void StartOnScreenKeyboard()
{
    const string OskExe = "osk.exe";
    var winDir = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("WINDIR");
 
    if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(winDir))
    {
        return;
    }
 
    var oskPath = Path.Combine(
        Path.Combine(winDir, "sysnative"), OskExe);
 
    if (!File.Exists(oskPath))
    {
        oskPath = Path.Combine(
            Path.Combine(winDir, "system32"), 
            OskExe);
    }
 
    if (!File.Exists(oskPath))
    {
        return;
    }
 
    Process.Start(oskPath);
}

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.
