They are typically provided by the OS. For example my tablet PC is
running Windows XP Tablet Edition and when I set focus to a textbox a
keyboard appears automatically. There also is a keyboard button in the
taskbar for situations where Windows doesn't realize the current
control is a textbox.

Is there a way to create an on screen keyboard to be used with a touch screen?

Are you talking about doing so in a Microsoft Access database (the subject of
this newsgroup) or for all programs?

Idea: create a form, set the Popup property to True, and put a bunch
of buttons on it in the shape of a keyboard. Provide a textbox where
the touched keys would display, and a CopyToControl button to copy the
value to the control with focus.
