Hi Metin,

Sorry for such a much delayed reply.

Wow, thanks for sharing!

Basically, the tips you shared helped me make my own keyboard class.

>>For textbox controls with Numeric or Date values though, it does not work because of the Valid event being fired for each Click you do. To explain further, when user say clicks on label '1', then clicks '2', the value in the textbox becomes '2' instead of the intended '12', because after the '1' was clicked, the Valid event fired.

>>>In first I used a toolbar container for my POS application because of not run focus feature of toolbar buttons. But this container was seem inharmonious at POS screen like OSK.EXE of Windows. So than I decided to use picture control's click methods for buttons. Now my virtual keyboard seem excellent and integrated with my POS application. I created a container control and put all keys with these picture controls to in. I add that container to all my POS keyboard using screens.
