Just store a collection of rects for each key and cycle through each one to determine which one has been touched.
in C++ I would use a lot of windows (maybe owner-draw buttons) and simulate key messages to fool any app into thinking it's a real keyboard
Does anyone knows where i can find on the web somtheing similar with it. Any part of code or any demo working in Visual Basic. Thanx mates.
well if you get the touchscreen input just like a mouse input it wont be hard at all
just a bunch of buttons and a txtbox that would get the new letter for each button....
well but I guess you have some other problem so what do you need?
I just wanna know if there is any kind of a VB control which enables the use of an on-screen keyboard or any application which can be used in VB 6.If yes where can i find it... if not can someone provide me with a piece of code through which i can make the above idea provided, functional. ( the idea was to create buttons and a textbox) Cheers :D
so youve got a problem with your vb application, sending the keys they press to the program you want, I kind of faintly remember a sendkeys API Function to send ascii data to another application as if the keyboard pressed it.
i'm at college at the minute but whenIi get home I will see if I can find it :p
This thread shows you how to simulate KeyPresses it discusses send keys and keyb_event API calls, you will have to look the declares for them in the API viewer.

remember you will have to return focus to the application the keys are being pressed to or they will be sent to your onscreen-keyboard
keep in touch because I will help with project or if you dont want I would like to see finnished thing
