I am starting work on an app (cross-platform Mac & PC) where the user
will be allowed to select certain characters from the repertoire of a
chosen font: the easiest way to do this visually - at least for the
Roman alphabet, which is what I need - is by showing a graphic
representation of a keyboard with the appropriate layout (varies by
country) and allowing the user to click on a character, with the
modifier keys (shift etc) working as they do on the real keyboard.
Apple used to have a Desk Accessory called Key Caps which did just
that - perhaps this has now been replaced by the Font Panel or the
Character Palette, neither of which seem to do what I want. I'm not
sure if Windows XP has/had such a utility.
Has any lister had to offer this feature, and if so, how did they do
it? Any pointers gratefully received.
Graham,
I have done this for a kiosk app with no attached keyboard. I only
allow Shift & Caps Lock, not any of the other modifiers, but I'm happy
to send you a demo stack if you would like to use it as a starting
point.
Cheers,
Sarah
