#include <liberipc/eripcviewer.h>
#include <liberipc/eripctoolbar.h>

// ipc channel variable
erClientChannel_t ertoolbarChannel;

// ipc channel creation
erIpcStartClient(ER_TOOLBAR_CHANNEL, &ertoolbarChannel);

// get the toolbar channel set up as for the PDF viewer application
tbSelectIconSet(ertoolbarChannel, ER_PDF_VIEWER_UA_ID);
tbClearIconSet(ertoolbarChannel, ER_PDF_VIEWER_UA_ID);

// enable on screen keyboard
tbAppendPlatformIcon(ertoolbarChannel,ER_PDF_VIEWER_UA_ID,iconID_keyboard,-1);

// turn off trashcan as an extra.
tbAppendPlatformIcon(ertoolbarChannel,ER_PDF_VIEWER_UA_ID,iconID_trashcan,-1);
tbSetStatePlatformIcon(ertoolbarChannel,ER_PDF_VIEWER_UA_ID,iconID_trashcan, iconState_grey);

Hope that helps a bit

Hello pwarren,

first thanks for your comments.

I understand that this is the way to send the action "show the keyboard" but I guess it should be the other side of the channel, the code which performs the launch of the keyboard. I'm interested in that other end of the channel.
Who is listening on that other side? which daemon or process?

Or am I missing anything?
