I want to show and hide the OSK keyboard (docked at the bottom) for my touch screen application best methods? (I want to make sure when I show that I try to run, in case someone closed it while using the app)
View 6 RepliesThis isn't really a VB specific question. It's .Net in general... if you have ideas in another .Net language, let me know... I know most of the .Net languages (I don't know that foxtrot or what not weird ones). Furthermore this isn't a 'I don't know the method on some class I should be using' kind of question, it's a design/problem solving kind of question.I'd like to know how you'd approach the problem with in the boundaries set.

I am creating a "form1" and adding "WebBrowser1" . Let's say the URL that I put on the WebBrowser1 has a username and password. So that, this will require a on screen keyboard in order to type the username and password. In this case, I do not want to use external OSK (on screen keyboard), what I want is to create some numerik numbers or letters on my form1 with buttons and then type it on the URL.

View 10 RepliesMy touch screen keyboard is highly customizable interface and has every component I need except for sending keys, anyone see a problem with this. Originally when I was creating it I was going to use the Forms.SendKeys.Send() but it's a WPF application... no go. For starters VB.Net in its infinite wisdom decided it would not handle default form messages. Go figure.
Or perhaps, this is my real problem, I can't get the WPF application to stop getting focus. I want it to act like the windows touch keyboard, but Every action that occurs in the transparent WPF makes that application the active one. I want events to still occur but I need the active window to be the window you wish to type into, like notepad.
Any Suggestions on what I should do, to make my WPF not focusable and to send keyboard buttons to the focused (or other) window? PS, I'm using WPF in Visual Studio 2010 in Vb.Net (I can use C# Code to!)
I've been looking all over the internet and can't find a decent code for an on screen keyboard, that writes letter into another application for example Microsoft word or Notepad.If someone has a code or could point in the right direction that would be awesome.

View 3 RepliesThis IS a project for the class. HOWEVER, this class is *NOT* a programming class, but is called "Usability Engineering", which aims its goals at creating a better user interaction. I'm not sure of what the "homework" policy is here, but what I am asking isn't for getting a grade, as the grade isn't based on my ability to program here. But nonetheless I am a C++ programmer at heart and VB makes me groan a little bit.
^ The program: Our goal with this project is to make a program with only five buttons (Aiming to be a cellphone type system, I know, the resolution is huge.), The buttons are the arrow keys, and enter. When the user selects a textbox, it changes the focus to the keyboard and then allows input via moving around and hitting enter.
My first problem right now, is that when I use my arrow keys, if I press RIGHT or DOWN, it will only go right, and if i press left or up, it only goes left.
The second problem, is that the buttons are out of order... when I am on "P", and press right, it actually hops down to the space bar button instead. I'm sure this is just some sort of container that can be modified, but I'm unsure of where it is.
I have a form with some textbox and a numerical keyboard on screen. The following code works well if only it had 1 textbox..
Private Sub botones_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles bt0.Click, bt1.Click, bt2.Click, bt3.Click, bt4.Click, bt5.Click, bt6.Click, bt7.Click, bt8.Click, bt9.Click, btDec.Click

I've adapted the code from this link to use the WinXP on-screen keyboard (osk) for a touch-screen application written in VB.NET v3.5. The osk fills the bottom half of screen etc. and behaves fine except for one little quirk. If the user clicks or taps anywhere on the 'background' area behind/between the virtual keys (within the main osk window), the color of the area changes to that of the keys when any further key subsequently gets focus. The outline of all keys is then lost because they are visually merged into the osk window background. The osk must then be terminated and re-launched to remove the confusing appearance.
This behaviour only occurs when the osk window is set to the child style (i.e. when the menu is hidden), using the SetWindowLong P/Invoke function - e.g.
SetWindowLong(OskProcess.MainWindowHandle, GWL_STYLE, WS_CHILD)
It's as if the entire area behind the keys is being treated as another key when tapped/clicked, whereupon its color is 'restored' after losing focus.Is there any way to intercept and somehow override the focus event of this osk background area?
I need to start and then minimise/normalise an instance of On Screen Keyboard from my app:
PID = Shell("explorer C:WindowsSystem32osk.exe",AppWinStyle.NormalFocus)
seems to launch it okay but how can I then "find" it and minimise/normalise its window?Also, would it be better if I launched it differently? I've tried missing out the 'explorer':
PID = Shell("C:WindowsSystem32osk.exe", AppWinStyle.NormalFocus)
but this says "file not found"...
I'm creating a On-Screen keyboard for my application, and it supports skins as well.
Here's what I'm doing with the skins, I have a folder which contains some images and a xml file which maps the images to the keyboard, I want to be able to have the folder as a zip file like in Office 2007 (.docx) and iPhone firmwares (.ipsw), I know I can simply zip the folder and change the extension, what I need to know is how to read the files in the code.
