Touch screen system - TextBox

Hi,

I'm working on touch screen system where a user clicks on a number to
letter to input it into a field, it's working fine at the moment,
basically it passes the textbox control to a user component which
handles input, then it does "control.Text += key;", this works fine for
English and Arabic languages, but I have problem with Asian languages,
any suggestions?

Regards

Lionel Pinkhard

Use SendKeys API. It is a lot better, and it handles backspace, arrow keys
and other special characters.

According to MSDN, SendKeys API cannot be used where
internationalization is required, also even if the key is sent to the
form, it still need to be captured by the form and sent to the control,
so I don't see any help in using SendKeys, any other ideas?
