Exactly what was asked for. &nbsp;The linked article reminded what a PITA inter-window programming is &amp;&nbsp;I ended up writing my own extra form within the program. ;)

I am searching for a development component with C/C++ (Windows OS, Visual Studio 2008 IDE) interface to show an on-screen keyboard with configurable layout and sizeable virtual keys. &nbsp;The component will be used with a touch-screen machine which has no keyboard attached.<br />

For initially research, the cost of the component is not a factor, so please indicate free and licenced alike.

On-screen keyboard as a C/C++ component

C is a general-purpose, imperative computer programming language, supporting structured programming, lexical variable scope and recursion, while a static type system prevents many unintended operations. By design, C provides constructs that map efficiently to typical machine instructions, so it has found lasting use in applications that had formerly been coded in assembly language, including operating systems as well as various application software for computers ranging from supercomputers to embedded systems. It is distinct from C++ (which has its roots in C) and C#, and many later languages have borrowed directly or indirectly from C.

C++ is an intermediate-level general-purpose programming language, not to be confused with C or C#. It was developed as a set of extensions to the C programming language to improve type-safety and add support for automatic resource management, object-orientation, generic programming, and exception handling, among other features.

Programming includes both the specifics of the language you’re using, like Visual Basic, .NET, Java and others, but also the best practices in user experience and interfaces and the management of projects, version control and development. Other programming topics are related to web and cloud development and system and hardware programming.
