I have been working on a touch screen application. I need to know if there exists a ready touch screen keyboard that I can use as a Controller for my application.
I tried using the windows ready keyboard but it is too small for a touch screen.
Process.Start(Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.System) + Path.DirectorySeparatorChar + "osk.exe");
any ideas how to start building one in minimal time will be greatly appreciated....
New Question
I have copied this code from someone and did some modifications to it :
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Windows;
using System.Diagnostics;
using System.IO;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
class Win32
{
[DllImport("user32.dll", EntryPoint = "SetWindowPos")]
public static extern bool SetWindowPos(
int hWnd, // window handle
int hWndInsertAfter, // placement-order handle
int X, // horizontal position
int Y, // vertical position
int cx, // width
int cy, // height
uint uFlags); // window positioning flags
public const int HWND_BOTTOM = 0x0001;
public const int HWND_TOP = 0x0000;
public const int SWP_NOSIZE = 0x0001;
public const int SWP_NOMOVE = 0x0002;
public const int SWP_NOZORDER = 0x0004;
public const int SWP_NOREDRAW = 0x0008;
public const int SWP_NOACTIVATE = 0x0010;
public const int SWP_FRAMECHANGED = 0x0020;
public const int SWP_SHOWWINDOW = 0x0040;
public const int SWP_HIDEWINDOW = 0x0080;
public const int SWP_NOCOPYBITS = 0x0100;
public const int SWP_NOOWNERZORDER = 0x0200;
public const int SWP_NOSENDCHANGING = 0x0400;
}
namespace Keyboard
{
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
this.KeyText.MouseDoubleClick += new MouseEventHandler(KeyText_MouseDoubleClick);
}
private Process process;
private string getKeyboardText()
{
KeyScreen k = new KeyScreen();
k.ShowDialog();
if (k.DialogResult.ToString().Equals("OK"))
return k.Text1;
else
return null;
}
void KeyText_MouseDoubleClick(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
this.KeyText.Text = getKeyboardText();
}
private void KeyBtn_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
this.showKeypad();
//Process.Start(Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.System) + Path.DirectorySeparatorChar + "osk.exe");
}
private void showKeypad()
{
Process process = new Process();
process.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
process.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
process.StartInfo.RedirectStandardError = true;
process.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = true;
process.StartInfo.FileName = "c:\\Windows\\system32\\osk.exe";
process.StartInfo.Arguments = "";
process.StartInfo.WorkingDirectory = "c:\\";
process.Start(); // Start Onscreen Keyboard
process.WaitForInputIdle();
Win32.SetWindowPos((int)process.MainWindowHandle,
Win32.HWND_BOTTOM,
300, 300, 1200, 600,
Win32.SWP_SHOWWINDOW | Win32.SWP_NOZORDER);
}
}
}
This works just fine I have a nice keypad (good size for a touch screen), However, i am not familiar with C# and VB at all.... change the Text in a textbox according to the touch screen keyboard I show.
Thanks,
