The on screen keyboard on Windows 8+ should not obscure the input field.

RECT->gfx::Rect for these too. Also, you should make it clear what coordinates
these are. I think it's screen pixels, in which case you might want to convert
to screen dip.

does this detection run periodically for the entire duration that the OSK is
visible to detect when it is hidden? if so, please document it as such.

This is initialized in the ctor.

with the new C++-11 style, this sort of initialization should be in the class;

how does this do the scrolling? is that the responsibility of the observer?

[ananta, 2016/05/19 01:57:12]

Thanks it does not. I started out with a impl which did the scrolling and then
moved that to the observers. The comment was stale.

Please clarify what you mean here.

[grt (UTC plus 2), 2016/05/19 03:51:02]

Gangam style! uh, i mean C++-11 style:
  OnScreenKeyboardDisplayManager() = default;

[sky, 2016/05/19 16:05:25]

I'm curious here as well as it has come up in other reviews. What benefit do we
get by using '= default' of {} here?

[grt (UTC plus 2), 2016/05/19 16:53:17]

My reason for suggesting it is so that there's just one way we do things in the
code. I don't know if there's a compelling reason such as better codegen from
the compiler or something. Perhaps Dana or one of the other C++-11 gurus would
know. I don't feel strongly either way.

[ananta, 2016/05/19 19:33:37]

I left it as is as clang needs the destructor to be in the cc file. It seems
better to have the ctor and dtor together.
