Just The Right Touch;
No runtime license fees

EMD Software’s EMDVirtualKeyboard is an ActiveX Control that is ideal for Visual Basic application developers planning to provide touch screen or keyboardless functionality and requiring a flexible means of providing user keyboard input, function keys, or calculator functionality.

The EMDVirtualKeyboard Control was designed for industrial applications and enables developers to build innovative and creative keyboard designs with non-rectangular windows and transparent backgrounds.

The EMDVirtualKeyboard can be applied
applications such as:

  • Industrial Operator/Machine Interface,
  • Point of Sale Applications, and
  • Information Kiosks.

EMD Virtual Keyboard functionality

The EMD Virtual Keyboard control simulates an actual keyboard and was designed to be used with touch screen or keyboardless applications. The EMDVBoardDlg control provides a complete set of keyset objects that invoke:

  • A 103 key QWERTY keyboard,
  • Standard keyboard,
  • Function keys,
  • Arrow keys,
  • Numeric keypad,
  • Modal or modeless calculator

You use the EMDVBoardDlg control in your application by adding it to a form and setting its properties. The dialog displayed by the control is determined by the methods of the control. At run time, a dialog box is displayed when the appropriate method is invoked; at design time, the EMDVBoardDlg control is displayed as an icon on a form.
