I just want to say that I am a bit noob here and I need some help.

I downloaded this touchscreen keyboard usercontrol in this site:


Touchscreen Keyboard UserControl[^]

I add the dll as my reference in my project. But I don't know how to use or call the keyboard. How should I do this? thanks and more power!

A new control should appear in your toolbox, you just place it onto a form just like any other control.

The project includes a demo application that shows how to use the control, you should study and understand how they did it from the demo before trying to integrate into your program.

Also, if you are using a WPF application and the control is WinForms, the control will not show up in your toolbox. In order to use the control you would have to use a windows forms container on your WPF form. If you tell us what UI framework you are using we could be of more help.

Then it should be drag and drop. Take a look at the demo application that came with the control in the article.

I can't find it. Should I refreshed my toolbox so that I can see it?

You may need to add it to the toolbox explicitly. Right click in the toolbox and click "Choose Items", then there is an option to browse for a DLL file, select the one from the article and it should add it to a new tab.

Depending on the Control you may need to add a reference to its dll(s). The site providing the Control should inform you of that, if that's the case here.

Solution Explorer / References => Right Click => Add Reference ... locate and select dlls.
