Yes, I think so.

No, I don't think so (based on your description).

Code it?  ;-)

Where exactly is your problem?  I implemented a 
numeric keypad (not an entire keyboard) a while 
ago, and simply used buttons.  You may have to 
do something more fancy.  Basically, when you get
the event that the user has selected a key (in my 
case it was a button (ctlSelectEvent) event), you 
need to act upon it.  If your "main" field is 
display only, handle the update to your 'entry'
yourself.  If your main field is also enterable 
via Grafitti etc., look into simulating the entry 
of a character by enqueueing the appropriate
event/character using EvtEnqueueKey.

Based on previous posts from you a couple days 
ago, I seem to remember that you're trying to 
use this custom keyboard approach because your 
app was having problems dealing with events to 
begin with.  Might be better to sort those 
problems out first and then use the built-in 
keyboard if that's appropriate for your application.

 
Hope this helps a bit.
