I am looking to extend some additional functionality to the Winforms virtual keyboard, so I am creating a custom UserControl which contains the VirtualKeyboard. In this UserControl I am setting a LayoutsFolder and custom layout with the code below:

public CulturedKeyboard()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
            virtualKeyboard.LayoutsFolder = "\\Keyboard\\Layouts";
            virtualKeyboard.TemplateLayout = KeyboardLayout.Create("englishLayout.xml");
        }
 

When I place this new UserControl onto a Form for use, the Designer View shows an error message "Could not find a part of the path 'C:\Keyboard\Layouts\englishLayout.xml'. "  How can I call this layout correctly? It is not showing the VirtualKeyboard control with the custom layout in the UserControl or on the Form and even when loading the application I receive an error. Thanks!
