Answer 1

I think you need to implement ISoftKbd

Answer 2

Does Windows8 support ISoftKbd interface? Is it compatible with MetroUI? Is there any sample to use it?

Thanks

Answer 3

Depends on edition, a keyboard text service is a desktop app, so you can't get it installed on Windows RT.

I think you need to implement the soft keyboard interface on the same object that exposes ITfTextInputProcessor.
