Onscreen Keyboard

January 21st, 2009 Elze 3 comments

I can think of many .NET Micro Framework applications that require text input. Jan Kucera has made a control for this using the up/down and left/right buttons to write text. You can find this control on his .NET Micro Framework Examples page.

With the Touchscreen support of MF 3.0 I tought it would be nice to have something like an on screen keyboard like you find on modern cellular phones. I made a simple KeyboardWindow class. When you create a new KeyBoardWindow an keyboard is displayed on the screen with a flickering cursor. Simply tap on the buttons to add a extra char. Shift is supported.

I made a Visual Studio 2008 Solution that encapsulates and demonstrates the class.
You can download it here: MF_OnScreenKeyBoardDemo.zip

I hope it can be usefull for someone!
