IKeymanKeyboardInstalled::InstallVisualKeyboard Method

Introduction

The IKeymanKeyboardInstalled::InstallVisualKeyboard method installs a visual keyboard file (.kvk) and associates it with the keyboard. The visual keyboard file is copied into the Keyman keyboard store. If a visual keyboard is already installed for the keyboard, then the new visual keyboard replaces the old one.

Typically, a keyboard and visual keyboard will be installed together as part of a package, but this method can be helpful for testing and development of keyboards.

Changes associated with calling this method are applied immediately; IKeymanKeyboardsInstalled::Apply does not need to be called.

A visual keyboard can be uninstalled with IKeymanVisualKeyboard::Uninstall.

This method requires elevated privileges.
