HI All

I had the same problem with a POS system I wrote. Worked on windows 7 but 10 and 11 suspended livecode and queued up the characters.

I just found the answer

Code: Select all

get shell("start osk")
It starts it in a new process so livecode doesnt wait for it.

Launch "osk.exe" should do it as far as I know, but doesn't.
