ShiftLocked messing up external keyboard input after upgrade to MindFusion VKB (Read 2585 times)

	To make the keyboard ShiftLocked upon first load (so that the first character is uppercase and all subsequent characters are lowercase) I call these lines in _Loaded event: Code virtualKeyboard.SendKey(MindFusion.UI.Wpf.Key.Shift); virtualKeyboard.ForceUpdateLayout(); When using the virtual keyboard via touch, this works great. VKB is all uppercase, I tap a letter and it's displayed correctly AND the virtual keyboard switches to all lowercase. But when using an external keyboard, it never leaves the ShiftLocked state after the first character is entered on the keyboard. If I type the number keys on the keyboard, they come out like (!, @, #, $) as if I was holding shift down the entire time. Any ideas?

	>> after upgrade to MindFusion VKB Do you mean that started to happen after upgrading from older version of the component to current one?

	Yes. I upgraded from a very old FPS.VirtualKeyboard control to the latest MindFusion control which I recently purchased. The FPS version was 3.2.3.0. That being said, I had to refactor a lot of code to integrate the MindFusion VKB, so it's possible I broke something. I just don't see how to make this work like it used to.

	We don't think the virtual keyboard ever tried to listen to the physical one in order to release Shift automatically. If your application shows the virtual keyboard for a specific text control, you could release Shift like this when first key is pressed - Code bool firstKey = true; private void TextBox_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e) { if (firstKey && VirtualKeyboard.ShiftLocked) vk.SendKey(MindFusion.UI.Wpf.Key.Shift); firstKey = false; } Maybe you had similar event handlers in your application but removed / detached them while upgrading...
