We have released version 4.4.2 of WinForms Virtual Keyboard control. It contains the following improvements:

UI culture handling
The control no longer updates CurrentCulture of UI thread automatically to match current input language. This could lead to subtle bugs in applications' text parsing and formatting code when culture-dependent delimiters and string formats change together with the input language. To better match its purpose and Windows terminology, the old CurrentCulture property of VirtualKeyboard has been renamed to InputLocale. To get the old behavior back where current culture follows input language, set the AutoUpdateCulture property to true.

Auto-repeat customization
The AutoRepeat property lets you disable or enable auto-repeat. The RepeatDelay and RepeatRate properties let you customize auto-repeat timing.

Miscellaneous

• The keyboard now detects changes of target window's input language automatically and updates its character labels and layout (previous version only updated when the window is activated).
• Fix for a problem where language rotation key would not switch language.
• The component no longer installs its window and keyboard hooks while used in design time, fixing some rare Visual Studio crashes.
