Is it possible to build a Silverlight application with an embedded on-screen keyboard that is context aware (e.g. on-screen keyboard appears only when a textbox is in focus).

A:
Yes, but you need additional javascript that will show\hide the silverlight app.
For example: User focuses password textbox, javascript fires showing your app. Click on app's virtual keyboard raises javascript that edits textbox.

I see no need to use any javascript to do this. You only need javascript if the textbox is in the html, not in your silverlight app.

Right, I meant that textbox is in the html. If textbox is in the silverlight app there is no need of javascript at all.

I was looking for the same thing, so I created a Virtual Input Keyboard that can attach to Textboxes and other controls - have a look here:

Hope that helps, 5 months late though :)
