osk.exe On Screen Keyboard

Post by henrytang5247 »

I made an on screen keyboard application using Visual Studio 2013 (Visual Basic). But I just made 20% completed, who can help me build this application completely? :?
Reason: Holiday will end after 1 day (on Malaysia), so I no time to build the on screen keyboard.

Here some images and files...

Thanks, but our codebase only supports C(++) and ASM.

By the way, there already is an osk.exe: https://jira.reactos.org/browse/CORE-7279

Yes. The On Screen Keyboard is using SendKey Method.

Yes but I think we are waiting for the new explorer first. I might be wrong but we are definitely getting a progress bar implemented.

Done.
I use ReactOS on real hardware. Will you? My Computers: https://www.reactos.org/wiki/PC_ROS_Rigs Go all the way to the bottom.

No offense, but looking at the source code it is about 0.001% completed; all it is now is a form with hard coded assignments: button21: send "H" to Document 1 in Word.
To have a useable OSK, you need at least to read the keyboard layout from regional settings in the registry and map the keys. Then you need to make sure it is always on top but remember the previously active application to send the keys to.
Interesting programming exercise, but serves no real purpose for somebody else to finish for you (=rewrite completely)

What about programming in eC and then use the .c generated by the ECERE IDE?

The first .ec commit will have to make necessary build system changes.

Nope. We support C/C++ and WinAPI. We will NOT add ANY API SDK else.
ReactOS is still in alpha stage, meaning it is not feature-complete and is recommended only for evaluation and testing purposes.

If my post/reply offends or insults you, be sure that you know what sarcasm is...

He is mentioning a language which compiles to straight C and uses C API. Only needed change is adding relevant entry for relevant compiler in Makefile and/or CMakeLists.txt. In turn, the C file will be compiled by our usual compiler suite.
