Key Features
Native key input—The keyboard device is not focusable and each button click sends a native key down action that is passed to the currently focused element. This means that no special code for binding the keyboard component with the input element is required.
Customizeable layouts—The buttons layout can be customized by implementing custom key layout factory class or by loading an .xml file with a special format.
Language culture support—You can assign a specific culture that will be applied to the letter keys or you can enable the automatic synchronization with the current OS input language.
Sound— The keyboard supports a clicking sound that is played on button press. The sound can be disabled or replaced with a custom one.
Customizeable buttons—The visualization of each button can be customized with
DataTemplates.
