I need a special touchkeyboard for my CE.NET 4.1 Device with thing big
buttons. Is the a control or applikation for this or how can create a simple
control, to write in a the current textbuffer.

Thanks for help,
Ewald
 
What you need is either a special form that you can write in .NET CF which
shows the buttons you want it to have and handles sending the keys to the
right place for you, or you need to build your own Software Input Panel,
which you can *not* do in .NET CF. The SIP is a COM object which is
registered with the OS, causing it to be selectable as the current SIP, and
causing it to automatically pop up when a text field with SIP enabled is
focused.

If you decide you want to write your own SIP, you can look up "SIP" in MSDN
and choose the "Programming Input Methods" item. It will tell you what
interfaces you need to implement and what they are supposed to do. You'll
have to get either eMbedded Visual C++ 3.0 or 4.0, depending on which OS you
are targeting, and implement your SIP.
