i have done this once for a touchscreen application.
i connected a callback to the click event of every entry widget and popped up
the keyboard, when the user clicked on one of the entry widgets.

the keyboard containd by itself an entry, that was filled with characters by
the clicks on the keyboard buttons. when the user clicked "Enter" i transferd
the contents of the keyboard entry to the one that opend the keyboard.

BTW: i used libglade and a fixed container widget to build the keyboard window.
i can send you some code, if you're intrested.
