ADD. New Control - Touch keyboard

It will be nice if our WinForms suite provides a touch keyboard (useful in the case of tablets and kiosks).

It will be also good of the keyboard is attached an shown automatically when an editor control gets focus.

Hi,

The LayoutType property of RadVirtualKeyboard controls the keyboard layout type: https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/winforms/controls/virtual-keyboard/default-layouts

The following help article demonstrates how to associate a RadVirtualKeyBoardForm with an input control: https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/winforms/controls/virtual-keyboard/virtual-keyboard-form

If you have any further questions, feel free to submit a support ticket from your account and our support engineers will gladly assist you.

I hope this information helps.

Hello,

i have a question about your virtual keyboard that comes with telerik R1 2020 for winforms ?

Is the keyboard form that appear automatically when a text box is focused provide an option to switch between numeric-only keyboard and full keyboard ?

Thanks a lot...

Hello,

This feature request for a new keyboard control is definitely in our near future road-map. Meanwhile, we have introduced a new knowledge base article demonstrating how to implement a sample virtual keyboard introducing a consistent look and feel to the end users: https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/winforms/knowledge-base/virtual-keyboard

The control should also provide an option to switch between numeric-only keyboard and full keyboard. Hope to see this control in the Windows Form bundle soon...

I would also want this for WPF..

At the moment I use the free onscreen keyboard from: http://wpfkb.codeplex.com/
But I rather have one from you guys with more options.

Ideally, the developer could chose between an "auto-keyboard" (shown automatically) and a keyboard control that would be placed on a form or container.

On of your competitors implemented just that, they offer a keyboard component and a keyboard control.
