# Windows.UI.ViewManagement.Core.CoreInputView.TryShow

## -description

Attempts to show (if hidden) the input pane associated with the [CoreInputView](coreinputview.md).

## -returns

**true** if the request to show the input pane was accepted; otherwise **false**.

If this method is called from an app that is not in foreground, the request is rejected and **false** is returned.

## -remarks

This method is a "best effort" and guarantees only that the user has a way to interact with the focused control. For a docked a Soft Input Panel (SIP) like the **Touch keyboard and handwriting panel**, the pane is shown only if a hardware keyboard is not available.

If you set [CoreTextEditContext.InputPaneDisplayPolicy](../windows.ui.text.core/coretexteditcontext_inputpanedisplaypolicy.md) to **Manual**, use TryShow or [TryShowPrimaryView](coreinputview_tryshowprimaryview_1925215151.md) to display the input pane, and [TryHide](coreinputview_tryhide_42550069.md) or [TryHidePrimaryView](coreinputview_tryhideprimaryview_908065025.md) to hide the input pane.
