Hi Hussain,

I hope i understood you properly, you want to use same virtual keyboard to type data in both username and password textboxes, if am wrong let me know, follow my code.

  private TextBox _textBox = new TextBox();
        private TextBox _password = new TextBox();
        private bool _isPwd = false;

void MainWindowLoaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            _textBox.GotFocus += new RoutedEventHandler(TextBoxGotFocus);
            _password.GotFocus += new RoutedEventHandler(PasswordGotFocus);
}


        private void Button_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            var button = sender as Button;
            var text = button.Content.ToString();
            if (!_isPwd)
            {
                if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(_textBox.Text))
                {
                    _textBox.Text = text;
                }
                else
                {
                    _textBox.Text = _textBox.Text + text;
                }
            }
            else
            {
                if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(_password.Text))
                {
                    _password.Text = text;
                }
                else
                {
                    _password.Text = _password.Text + text;
                }
            }
           
        }

        void PasswordGotFocus(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            _isPwd = true;
        }

        void TextBoxGotFocus(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            _isPwd = false;
        }
