Virtual Keyboard for Avalonia UI preview
We are soon releasing Avalonia version of our Virtual Keyboard control. It synthesizes keyboard events through Avalonia event routing system, so it should work on any platform supported by Avalonia UI. Unlike MindFusion Windows keyboard controls, events can be sent only to input controls in current process, and not to external processes.
In addition, language support cannot be generated automatically via OS APIs as in Windows controls, but we’ll be creating character maps for each language. Currently supported cultures that can be assigned to VirtualKeyboard.InputLocale property are en-US, fr-FR, de-DE and nl-NL.
If anyone is interested in trying the preview version, please install the nuget package –

Running JPlanner Samples with Apache NetBeans IDE
In this blog post we will show you how to open the sample projects that come with the MindFusion Scheduling library for Java Swing with Apache NetBeans IDE.
The samples for MindFusion JPlanner are available from two sources:
- The download archive, which contains all samples in seperate folders. Each sample links to the planner *.jar file.
- The samples page where the samples can be downloaded separately. Each sample contains the *.jar file of the scheduling library.
By default the sample folders cannot be opened as projects in NetBeans. You should import them with File -> Import Project -> Eclipse Project.
