I’m having some trouble coming up with a xaml page that would bind to a keyboard layout displayed on a page. Originally I have an ObservableCollection of rows that contain a KeyboardKey datatypes that specify the width of a button. The collection is bound to a listbox in the xaml. The problem I’m having is that on some keyboards the the height of a key spans two rows, which the xaml listbox does not support. I would like to avoid hard coding a bunch of keys in the xaml. Any thoughts on how to approach this?

    You can create you own layout buy inheriting one of container controls and overriding
    ArrangeOverride method.

    You can find the example here: http://www.wpftutorial.net/CustomLayoutPanel.html

    When I was creating the virtual keyboard, I declined automatic layout and put the buttons manually in designer. I think in some cultures it is better to put key rows with horizontal shift and in others it is better to to place buttons under each other. So I have a flexible layout and can quickly edit it in designer.
