FPS Input Controls for WPF

v.1.2.0

Screen Keyboard and NUMPAD with a number of predefined themes

Many applications need support of inbuilt keyboard. Usually these kinds of applications are done for touch screen terminals such as POS, but it is not restricted, and can be used by any desktop based application that is going to be developed with WPF technology. FPS Input Controls represents itself as a virtual keyboard and NUMPAD that should meet WPF developers’ needs in order to use inbuild keyboard support in their applications.

The Keyboard control works exactly as Windows embedded screen keyboard, so it enables users to input text into current active (focused) window. Also it can work as an inbuilt User Control inside any application.

The most advanced thing is the layout manager that is supplied in the product package named “FPS Keyboard Creator”. By this tool users can create custom layouts and fill in languages they have in their own system. We have added some of languages into the package so it can be loaded by FPS Keyboard Creator or directly inside the virtual keyboard control.
