Disable WindowsIoT On-screen keyboard TextBox Auto-correct

This is for a UWP app deployed to a Raspberry Pi 3 with a touch screen. On-screen keyboard enabled.

I have a TextBox control for ASCII commands to be sent to a device. Is there a way to disable or prevent auto correction on a textbox control when using the on-screen touch keyboard? Is there a way to do that in XAML?

It is nice to have auto-correction available. I'd hate to disable it completely, but I suppose that's also an option.

Solution

  • You can disable autocomplete and text prediciton with TextBox properties: IsSpellCheckEnabled, IsTextPredictionEnabled.

    Setting <TextBox IsTextPredictionEnabled="False" IsSpellCheckEnabled="False"/> should do the job.

    Howeer if you need more sophisticated solution with some modifications when on-screen keyboard is showing, then you can probably use InputPane class for this.
