VirtualKeyboardWpf

Lightweight WPF virtual keyboard control library targeting .NET 8.

Overview

This library exposes a VirtualKeyboard control and related child controls (KeyRow, KeyButton, NumPadPanel).


Installation

Install via NuGet Package Manager:

Install-Package VirtualKeyboardWpf

Or via .NET CLI:

dotnet add package VirtualKeyboardWpf

  • The library depends on CommunityToolkit.Mvvm (v8.3.0). Install in the host project to avoid runtime FileNotFoundException:

    • NuGet (recommended):

      dotnet add <YourHostProject>.csproj package CommunityToolkit.Mvvm --version 8.3.0
      
    • Or install from Visual Studio NuGet package manager.


Usage

  1. Add the control to your window XAML (adjust CLR namespace if needed):
<Window xmlns:vk="clr-namespace:VirtualKeyboardWpf.Controls;assembly=VirtualKeyboardWpf">
  <vk:VirtualKeyboard />
</Window>
<Window xmlns:vk="clr-namespace:VirtualKeyboardWpf.Controls;assembly=VirtualKeyboardWpf">
  <vk:VirtualNumPad />
</Window>

Troubleshooting

  • Missing CommunityToolkit.Mvvm error at runtime: install the CommunityToolkit.Mvvm package in the consuming application (matching version).

Requirements

  • .NET 8
  • WPF host application
