I noticed that if the UK keyboard is selected, the @ symbol above the 2 key turns into " .

We also have a dedicated @ key but it simulates a SHIFT 2 which ofcourse results in " entered into the textbox.

How can I force the @ to be @ reglardless of UK or US keyboard? Even if it just for the dedicated key, although ideally both on both keys.

Or is there a way to force the Mindfusion to be US keyboard regardless of the windows selected keyboard? I can't change the keyboard system wide as the app will be running in an account that is locked down.

I have specified as

    <Key xsi:type="UnicodeKey">
      <Left>73.346153846153982</Left>
      <Top>186</Top>
      <Width>60</Width>
      <Height>40</Height>
      <Character>64</Character>
      <Repeat>1</Repeat>
    </Key>


In the keyboard creator when I do a test, the @ is entered as expected.
However in my WPF application no character is entered when I press this key.

I am initializing as below:

            AutoReleaseModifierKeys = true;
            AutoFill = true;
            TemplateLayout = KeyboardLayout.Create(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetManifestResourceStream(
"XXXX.resources.vkb_general_template.xml"));
            AutoRepeat = false;
            AutoUpdateCulture = false;
            IsStandAlone = false;

Ok I found the issue. If you make the virtualkeyboard "collapsed" by default in WPF XAML the unicodekey do not work.

Strange. The project basically had a global keyboard and a ContentPresenter control where the views were injected into. The keyboard was collapsed at launch and then sometime later during the application and keyboard was made visible and the unicode keys didn't work. However now I make the keybaord visible and then collapse at launch and seems to work. I tested this multiple times so I am confident it was related we now no longer have the issue with the workaround.

May I suggest collapsing the keyboard in XAML, and then maybe in a button press making the keyboard visible and then see if the unicode characters are working?
