How to display the virtualkeyboard? (1 Viewer)

Hello Developers,

at the moment I'm working on a plugin for MP.
I've tried to use the VirtualKeyboard but It does not work. I've tried the code from the wiki:
AdvancedPluginDevelopmentTipsAndTricks - MediaPortal Manual Documentation

It looks like this but the Keyboard will not be shown:

        protected override void OnPageLoad()
        {
            VirtualKeyboard keyboard = (VirtualKeyboard)GUIWindowManager.GetWindow    ((int)GUIWindow.Window.WINDOW_VIRTUAL_KEYBOARD);
            if (null == keyboard)
                return;

            keyboard.Reset();
            keyboard.Text = League;
            keyboard.DoModal(GetID);
            
            if (keyboard.IsConfirmed)
            {
                MessageBox.Show(League);
            }




        }

There are some errors in the logfile wich I can't interpret.
And I'm developing with the 1.0 stable version.

errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr,

found my mistake.
The right code is

        string League;
        public void  Select_League()
        {
            VirtualKeyboard keyboard = (VirtualKeyboard)GUIWindowManager.GetWindow((int)GUIWindow.Window.WINDOW_VIRTUAL_KEYBOARD);
            if (null == keyboard)
                return;

            keyboard.Reset();
            keyboard.DoModal(GetID);
            if (keyboard.IsConfirmed)
            {
                League = keyboard.Text;
            }
        }

Why can't you write a sentence like this
// Do something here. The typed value is stored in "keyboard.Text"
