under which version of windows are you trying to do it? Windows 2000 or higher already has it as a standard utility, lok in:
start->programs->accesories->accesibility->On Screen keyboard.
f there is no such program, you should just install it from windows install CD.

use Win32API and put scan codes in keyboard port, Operation System will do all other things for you.

So your a newbe and you are going to develop an on screen keyboard that is better than the one developed by/for Microsoft.


One of the most common problems I see with people starting down a new programming path is they expect things to be simple. They therefore don’t read any documentation or tutorials and they think they can just start writing code for their project. This creates a problem for them that is extremely complex since it is the sum of all the parts, none of which they understand. Be patient, learn each subject separate from the others (simplify / divide and conquer )
