  • Culture Support

    Specific culture can be provided to the component, and it will automatically apply it to the letter keys of the virtual keyboard. Alternatively, with a single property, you can enable automatic synchronization with the current OS input language.

  • Native Input and Display Options

    The control is not focusable, therefore all input from it will go directly to the focused component, without the need to trap events and send them to controls. In addition, the keyboard can be shown inline or in a dedicated window that can be moved by the user.
