Question

Does Azure GUIX has prepared virtual keyboard?

So far I cant find a virtual keyboard in Azure GUIX Studio. Does it mean I should build my own? (As template in separate window, using 'text buttons' and 'icons')

@Serhii Cherkasov Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum!

Azure RTOS GUIX fully supports touchscreen (including gesture support), pen, and virtual keyboard input devices.

Please see Extensive display and touchscreen support for more details.

There isn't a virtual keyboard "widget", mainly because there are an unlimited number of variations needed. However we do provide an example implementation. If you have cloned the GUIX repository, the example is found in guix/samples/demo_guix_keyboard. You are free to use and modify this code to implement your own keyboard(s).

I saw, but nothing appears in the example project. The window, where supposed to be a keyboard, is just empty.

@Serhii Cherkasov The keyboard is filled in by the application code. In this case the GUIX Studio project just defines the frame, and the keyboard layout is defined in the application, in the file demo_guix_keyboard.c. We think this makes it easier to customize the keyboard layout to your liking. If you build and run the app, it should look like this: 217738-image.png
