on screen keyboard, windows 7

Question

Hi All,

Is there a good on screen keyboard for windows 7, VB2010, .NET FW 4.0 ?

This seems like an obvious need in this era of touch screen apps.

It needs to be a component that can be popped up and customized easily from .NET apps.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Andy

Hi Andeezle,

Base on my knowledge, I think you can simulate keyboard click by using SendKeys Class or SendInput function.

The All-In-One Code Framework provide a on screen keyboard sample, see

They are also some third party code samples.
