Hi,
I am trying to load custom colors for the keyboard, but I am not getting any success.
I provided the Dynamic resources in my application for brushes but they do not seem to be used.
    <SolidColorBrush x:Key="IC_ButtonBackground" Color="#FF333333"/>
    <SolidColorBrush x:Key="IC_ButtonPressedBackground" Color="#FF0076D7"/>
    <SolidColorBrush x:Key="IC_Foreground" Color="#FFF0F0F0"/>
    <SolidColorBrush x:Key="IC_Background" Color="Transparent"/>


Thanks,
Harshvir

Thanks for the reply. I am able to change the colors now.
But I am still not able to change the color of lowercase characters, which seems to be hardcoded to red, as well as color of extended characters. Third characters that show on top right side.

Thanks I followed that method, and I am able to change colors for all the keys now.
I have another problem at hand now. I have attached a screenshot of default keyboard layout with keys under consideration highlighted.
I created converters to show color based on state or Caps and Shift Lock.
In terms of shift it works fine, as all the regular keys update to Upper TextBlock, but the Number/Symbol keys pairs, don't work as expected when Caps Lock on ON.
I check for Caps lock ON in Upper Case converter and mark keys are selected, which is causing number portion to show disabled.

Is there a way to differentiate between keys (without checking the text on key, this will not work for multiple language support). I used Keyboard Layout Creator and every key is considered Regular Key, so same layout is working for them.

I think I did not explain properly.
Here is how I added converter to the resources defined for keys.

<TextBlock Text="{Binding UpperCase}" Foreground="{Binding UpperCase, Converter={StaticResource UpperCaseColorConverter}}"/>
 

I can easily find if Caps lock is on or not using MindFusion.UI.Wpf.VirtualKeyboard.CapsLocked in my ColorCoverter class.

But the problem is when Caps lock is pressed, for me to update UI whether to highlight the Text or not is tricky as its showing the Upper Textbox Key as highlighted.
I can get around that by checking the character at place to see if that is supposed to be upper case or not for en-US culture key.
But we support multiple languages in our application and hence we use different keyboard, and adding a check for each key will be hard for all the languages.
So I was wondering if there is a way to treat these keys differently rather than Regular Key as currently defined by Virtual Keyboard creator.

Thanks.

Hi, Thanks for the response, but that answer did not help me, I try to check the keys in covert function, and all the keys get matched to IsBasicLatin. I tried using the following instead of IsBasicLatin as well, but everything is getting counted as Latin. including the symbols.

        private bool IsSpecialCharacter(string data)
        {
            if (Regex.IsMatch(data, @"\p{IsCyrillic}"))
            {
                System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine("Keyboard IsCyrillic: data('{0}')", data);
                return true;
            }
            else if (Regex.IsMatch(data, @"\p{IsGreek}"))
            {
                System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine("Keyboard IsGreek: data('{0}')", data);
                return true;
            }
            else if (Regex.IsMatch(data, @"[\u0000-\u024F]+", RegexOptions.None))
            {
                System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine("Keyboard IsBasicLatin: data('{0}')", data);
                return true;
            }
            return false;
        }
 

Greek block includes some punctuation too, while Cyrillic does not -
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_and_Coptic
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyrillic_(Unicode_block)

so add IsLetter check for Greek as well.

My issue is still going on for non-english language.
Thanks for all the help. I will try to find character classes needed and should be able to resolve the issues.

Thanks.

Actually the keyboard does query the OS for character labels when CapsLock is on, and that's exposed as CapitalCase property of RegularKey, so you might try using that in your converters. There's an additional CurrentCase property that's set according to shift/caps states, you could use that to show a single character as in https://mindfusion.eu/Forum/YaBB.pl?num=1478183033/1#1
