6.3.6.2 Rules For Editing The Keyboard.cfg File
To edit the CFG file, editors such as Windows Notepad can be used.
• Redundant spaces should be avoided as they can lead to errors.
• Incorrect lines are ignored.
• As is customary, a semicolon in the first column of a line can be used for
comment lines.
6.3.6.3 General Options
Name of the section: [Keyboard_xxx]
In the [Keyboard_xxx] section, you make general settings for the respective
software keyboard. This section must be explicitly available for every software
keyboard.
xxx stands for the name of the software keyboard. This name should indicate the
function of the respective keyboard.
The entry specified after the keys displays the default value or an example value.
Keys Of The [Keyboard_xxx] Section
StdKeySize=45.40
• Defines the standard key size X,Y in pixels. This size is used as the default
size for all keys of this software keyboard.
Font=Tahoma,24,B
• Here, you can set font name, font size and boldface type for the key label-
ling. Boldface type can be disabled by omitting the B.
• In general, the fonts are generated with activated anti-aliasing. With small
font sizes, however, anti-aliasing is ignored by the system.
ShowOnStart=0
• Normally the software keyboards should not be visible at program start, so
the default value here is 0. With the value 1, the software keyboard is dis-
played immediately when the program launches.
BorderSize=3.3
• Defines the width of the border between the keys and the Windows border
in the X,Y direction.
