Is it possible to "send" a key via code?

Just call Key method by your code (normally, it is called as result of Key event, but nothing can prevent your code doing so).

The second question is: Is it possible to popup a static rect with some buttons - but without to get focus?

There is "NoWantFocus" flag - Ctrls with such flag cannot obtain focus by "standard" means (e.g. by TopWindow). They still can get it explicitly by your code, but that you can avoid..

I need to develop a virtual keyboard for a touchscreen solution - therefore I dont want to loose focus on selected editfield while typing (=clicking) on the popped up keypanel.

I see. Yes, it is OK. However, maybe even moving focus would be OK - virtual keyboard is mouse thing, I would just left focus processing as it is and simply send virtual keyboard events to GetFocusCtrl()->Key

I hope, I didn't explain too confusing :)

Actually, very understandable Smile

More actually, that app sounds interesting. Keep us informed Wink
