Access the webservice of Hungarian National Bank, get exchange rates and convert between currency values.

A wrapper class to allow foreground or background threads to send key inputs to the active application, like actual keys were pressed on a keyboard. TAEVirtualKeyboard uses the actual keyboard layout and sends the text as unicode, while TAEVirtualEnUsKeyboard and TAEVirtualHuHuKeyboard translates special characters and sends the input as scan codes instead. These can be useful to type text to a RDP window, if the host system has no keyboard layout matching the clients.
