We have a Windows 10 IOT Kiosk application that will be used primarily in a touchscreen environment. We want to remove the emoticons (and possibly limit other keys) from the on screen keyboard, is that possible?
The keyboard filter only blocks the Windows hot keys. Probably best to create your own onscreen keyboard solution.
Thanks for pointing me to the keyboard filter. I did some reading on the example script:
It looks like you can block single keys. Once I had the emoticon panel key code, I think I could use the keyboard filter to block it, or am I mis-reading the documentation?
The default keys are the hot keys that can be set allow/block: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/customize/enterprise/keyboardfilter-key-names. The documents say you can create custom keys so in theory you could get the emoji code and have it do nothing. I have not tested the feature. At least, this give you another option. Before Keyboard filter was available, I created a keyboard filter service that would block hot keys. The trick is knowing the VK code. There might be tools out there for this.
