Interface for on-screen keyboards. Only native iPhone, Android, and Windows Store Apps are supported.
This interface allows to display different types of the keyboard: ASCII,
Numbers, URL, Email, and others.

portions of your user interface, it is up to you to make sure that parts
of your user interface are not obscured when the keyboard is being
displayed.TouchScreenKeyboard.visible
