Windows Embedded Compact 7 - Do not automatically display on-screen keyboard - motorola

I have been building a .net application in c# for Windows CE. I had originally created it for a Motorola WT4090 which runs Windows CE 5. I have now got a Motorola WT41N0 that runs Windows Embedded Compact 7. When I run the application on the WT41N0 with Windows Embedded Compact 7 the on-screen keyboard displays automatically when a text box is selected. This did not happen on the WT4090 under Windows CE 5. I do not want the on-screen keyboard to display automatically unless I have specifically coded it to.
Does anyone know how I can stop the on-screen keyboard from automatically displaying when a text box is selected?

The on-screen keyboard will automatically display when a text box is selected based on the registry setting (dword) HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\SIP\TurnOffAutoDeploy. If this is set to 0 then the on-screen keyboard will automatically display. If it is set to 1, it will not. To fix this problem you can edit the registry setting. If you are using a Motorola device you can create a file in the \Application directory with a .reg extension which contains the following:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\SIP]
"TurnOffAutoDeploy"=dword:1

If you don't want to see the on-screen keyboard to appear at all (as in the case where you have a regular keyboard), then take away the "Software Input Panel" settings from the "User Interface" settings in your OS Design.

Microsoft Teams navigate in a view and press a button (mute all)?

How to click a button when the frame is highlighted after SHIFT+TAB on mac?
Is this not supported in the OSX app as part of accessibility/screen reader feature in MS Teams and description of how to navigate in a view?
I can't figure out i.e. how to click Admit all or Mute all.
FYI - I'm writing applescript to press the required keys sequences accordingly.
EDIT: FYI - the web client supports selecting the button, I have to use the desktop app though for other features.
I tested the desktop version of Teams (1.4.00.26376) on Windows 10; similarly to the OP I also found I couldn't access the 'Mute All' button when focus was on the 'Attendees/In this meeting' accordion panel. But, I could access the 'Mute All' button when I used the Applications Key (or Shift F10) a context menu appeared with the 'Mute All' option and I could access it with the keyboard.

Ctrl - Alt - I investing color instead of making new code chunk

I'm used to using Ctrl- Alt - I to create new code chunks in R Markdown. Well I don't know what I did, but now that combo of keys inverts the colors on my screen instead of creating a new code chunk. Suggestions on how to change it?
That keyboard shortcut is enabled when you enable Windows Magnifier.
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/11542/windows-use-magnifier-to-make-things-easier-to-see
To confirm that it is enabled:
open Settings (Win-x, n for Settings)
select Ease of Access
left side, select Magnifier
notice if you have "Turn on Magnifier" enabled
(You can disable it here, but keep reading for more context.)
On that screen, you can see that default hotkeys include:
Win + (windows key and "plus" key) for enabling
Win Esc to turn off magnifier
So perhaps it should be possible to disable globally with Win Esc and then regain control of Ctrl-Alt-I in RStudio (and/or elsewhere).

ALT + TAB (Task Switcher) in eWAM

How to switch to a different task, or view the previously opened windows in eWAM without using the mouse? I have tried ALT+TAB it is not working.
Due to the "modal" nature of Wynsure it is often not advised to switch between screens when in a multi step process for sub process. However, when relevant you can use Ctrl+F6 to cycle between open windows as an alternative to selecting them through he "View" menu with the mouse. Here is a list of the most popular Wynsure shortcuts
Ctrl+F2 to insert the current date in any date field (must be active)
Ctrl+F4 to close a window
Ctrl+F6 to cycle between open windows
Ctrl+F10 to toggle a window from "maximized" in the workbench or "restored" as a separate window in from the the application.

Qt Creator Debugger Views become Disabled

While debugging in Qt Creator (ver 3.4.2), if I hit the escape key (which I tend to do often to declutter my work space), then all of the debugger views including the debugger toolbar become hidden (as expected), but later I can't get them back. If I go under Qt Creator's main menu->Window, then Views is disabled.
Here's an example of a basic window before I click the escape key. Notice I have all of the debugging views showing (i.e. Breakpoints, Stack, Locals and Expressions, etc...)
Here's an example of my window after I've clicked the escape key. Notice how all of the debugging windows are hidden (as expected). My question is, now how do I get the windows back? You can see how the "Views" submenu under the "Window" menu is disabled.
Is there some sort of "Show Debugger Toolbar" keyboard shortcut? Or is there another menu somewhere to get this back? Any help would be much appreciated.
Under the Window menu, enable Show Mode Selector. This will show a strip down the left of your window where you should see a Debug tab you can click on to put Qt Creator back in Debug mode.

Systray icon tooltip upon keyboard focus (Win 32)

I want to display the statistics of my application from the system tray, when the user focuses the application's system tray icon. To achieve this, I used Shell_NotifyIcon(), but it has the limitation of max string size of 64 chars.
So, I created my own tooltip window using "CreateWindow()" (I am using Win32 APIs), and it works fine when I hover the mouse over the icon. But it doesnt work when systray icon is focussed using only keyboard.
When I debugged the app, it appeared that there were no windows-messages captured when icon was focussed using keyboard. But I get WM_MOUSEMOVE messages when I hover the mouse over the icon.
Are there any windows-messages sent out when systray icons are focused using keyboard (i.e Win+B --> use arrow keys to navigate to your icon)?
Any alternate suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Kunal
A System Tray icon tooltip is limited to 64 characters only on Windows versions prior to Windows 2000. In Windows 2000, the tooltip limit was increased to 128 characters.
And there are messages when the icon is focused/activated via keyboard. You may have to ask the System Tray for them via NIM_SETVERSION.
Read the documentation:
Notifications and the Notification Area
Shell_NotifyIcon(). There is a lot of information about handling keyboard/mouse messages in the Remarks.
