Navigation:  Development > How to activate different keyboards

You can specify different types of on-screen keyboards to be displayed.

 

Variant 1

 

To do this, change (from your program) the KeyboardName parameter in the registry at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ComfortSoftware\CKeyboard.

 

If the on-screen keyboard is visible then send Windows message PostMessage(FindWindow('TFirstForm', 'CKeyboardFirstForm'), WM_CSKEYBOARD, 1, 0) and the program will reload the keyboard.

// Fill the COPYDATA structure

MyCDS.cbData = sizeof(KeyboardName); // size of data 

MyCDS.lpData = &KeyboardName; // data structure 

 

// Call function, passing data in &MyCDS
