Touch Keyboard input VL / Stride

gegenlicht · November 30, 2021, 12:12pm

So i think i might need a Touch-Keyboard for a upcoming project and doing so in vvvv beta there were ~4 Options.

Create / use one created in vvvv
Use a Html based keyboard with Html Texture / CEF Browser plugin
Trigger Windows10 Onscreen Keyboard from vvvv
Use thirdparty Onscreen Keyboard and trigger from vvvv

Im trying to evaluate what would be the best & most sustainable approach for VL / Stride and or Skia.

I think its most likely i would create a Touch-Keyboard with Skia, but ive seen some articles about the new windows11 Touch Keyboard. Looks like its a bit more customizable so im not sure which option would be best for vl / Stride / skia.

The usecase i need it for is just entering an email so it can be pretty basic.
Any experiences with one of the options in vl and / or the Windows11 onscreen keyboard?

It’s really easy to do with foreach loop
Here you can look on my uwp keyboard git

Which option did you go for? Currently in a similar situation.

That’s the one with input Injector for UWP

Thanks. Was wondering what @gegenlicht used in the end though.

Hey @bjoern the project i need this for is on hold so i did not try any further. But since it was only for entering emails i guess i would have tried it in Skia.
