Try the RichTextBox for a larger variety of options.

To add to the earlier answer, look at Building a Simple Word Processor Around an Extended RichTextBox Control[^]

You could use the techniques in that and just add your keyboard.

If you're looking for a virtual keyboard that you can use with any program, I suggest this thread: Virtual Keyboard[^]

Towards the end, one of the guys supplied code for a virtual keyboard program that works in notepad, word, whatever.

It sounds to me like your interest is in using a custom keyboard layout on your computer. You want to use this for off-the-shelf programs. Do you want to use this layout all the time? Have you seen this[^]?
