Development Programming & Scripting

Hi all,

It is my first post here :slight_smile:

We need a virtual keyboard at the project for Windows OS and touch screen. A few input fields for sending e-mail need this keyboard.
I found how to do it in 3d space using send key char, but I prefer to do it using GUI elements.
Is it possible in unreal?
Windows virtual keyboard or another virtual keyboard can be a good choice, but how to manage it from unreal?

No ready to use assets on the marketplace.

Thx!
Alex

It looks amazing and very simple to use.
Hope it will be useful for all people who doing kiosk apps with unreal

Here’s a virtual keyboard convenience blueprint I recently published today, in case anyone is looking for a really easy solution. It is pretty plug and play, and very easily customizable :slight_smile:
