This post is going to be short because it is just an example application to illustrate how to convert an XML touch keyboard layout the binary version that you can then add as a resource and use from your touch applications. You can download the source to the command line utility called kcc (stands for Keyboard Command line Compiler).
My next post will be the documentation for the XML layout and the final post on hacking the TTouchKeyboard will walk you through the steps to make this all work.

Hacking the TTouchKeyboard Part III

The tiles of the links after part 1 say "Park" not "Part" as you would expect.
Pawel, thanks. I seem to make that typo a lot for some odd reason :)
How to change just the keyboard font typeface?
Edin, currently the only way to change the font is to derive from TCustomKeyboardButton or TKeyboardButton override the Paint method and assign your class to TTouchKeyboard.DefaultButtonClass.
I hope this helps.
Any chance posts 4 and 5 will come to light? I could really use it! Making this custom keyboard is a pain. Thanks!
Hi John,
I forgot to go back and update the links but I did publish post 4. I just did that now so you should be able to get to the documentation easily.
As for post 5, I never had time to finish it and since I no longer work for Embarcadero I don't use Delphi or currently have access to what I'd need to publish that post, sorry! if you have questions feel free to email me and I will try to answer them the best that I can.
