Hi, I'm trying to find out, how to get this number pad. Problem is, I'm creating cash system, which is aimed to Windows tablets and current windows keyboard for numbers is UX disaster. Thank you for any help or clue where to find more

What kind of app?
Like what UI framework are you using?
Windows App SDK
latest version -> 1.2.2
When you say "windows keyboard for numbers is UX disaster" are you talking about the full keyboard or did you narrow the input scope to numbers?
Windows 11 has for input scope "Number" this layout
which is absolutely wrong in cash system, especially in business like restaurant, bar, ...
Hmm
Windows 10 have better layout, but still not perfect
Image has been used in some issue on github, so therefore red box
Tbh last time I worked on a POS system I just made my own number input box that pops up a numpad
but it still have number pad, which could be used very simply
oh
Like a custom design numpad
So if you want a particular layout that is probably the way to go
Yeah, I get it, I play with this idea too, but first I want to use something, that is working :/
okay, thank you for your help 🙂
There might be a way to do what you are looking for with built-in keyboard but not sure off hand
i hope I find way to use built-in 😄
I would try a different input scope
Like NumericPassword maybe
Expected input is a numeric password, or PIN.
Would probably narrow down the available keys
And probably show the pinpad style inputnothing worked
i tried every input scope
💩
You tried
Digits as well?of course, every from the list 😄
Haha
from alphanumeric to url (or which is last) 😄
Lmao
and Of course I tried even CoreInputViewKind enum values
maybe there will be right number for this num pad, but trying all int values to find out, I will try it even on my death bed :/ 😄
okay, I found out, where has been problem. WIndows 11 has small keyboard, which is in may case (language) available only for QWERTZ layout, not for QWERTY or programmer 😄
Ah, I see
