VirtualKeyboardInputScope Enumeration
Specifies the required keys on the default page. It does not restrict the visibility or input to those keys. For example, “Number” and “TelephoneNumber” do not restrict the keyboard to numbers. They only ensure that the required number keys are available on the default keyboard page.
Syntax
public enum class VirtualKeyboardInputScope
Members
| Member | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Alphanumeric | 40 | |
| Default | The default keyboard. | |
| EmailSmtpAddress | Email address keyboard. Includes the @ and .com keys. | |
| Number | The number keyboard. Contains numbers and a decimal point. | |
| Password | The password keyboard. Contains the text input pattern for a password. | |
| Search | The search keyboard. Includes auto-complete. | |
| TelephoneNumber | The telephone keyboard. Mimics the telephone keypad. | |

Remarks
Use this enumeration in the SystemUI.ShowVirtualKeyboardAsync Method and SystemUI.ShowVirtualKeyboardWithOptionsAsync Method. For example code, see Virtual Keyboard Overview.
NOTE: An actual numeric scope virtual keyboard that contains only numbers is available beginning with the October 2018 preview release. When SystemUI::ShowVirtualKeyboardAsync and SystemUI::ShowVirtualKeyboardWithOptionsAsync are called with either VirtualKeyboardInputScope::Number or VirtualKeyboardInputScope::TelephoneNumber, we will now show this keyboard as opposed to the alphanumeric keyboard that appeared in earlier releases. For backward compatibility, we ensure that ERA callers will get the old behavior with these scopes, now and in the future; these scopes will be converted to VirtualKeyboardInputScope::Alphanumeric. Non-ERA titles using the numeric scopes will correctly get a numeric keyboard.
