Hi,

I am using an english and hebrew keyboard.

is there a way to know what is the current selected language in the language bar? EN or HE?

Thanks

Code:

F11::
  SetFormat, Integer, H
  WinGet, WinID,, A
  ThreadID:=DllCall("GetWindowThreadProcessId", "Int", WinID, "Int", 0)
  InputLocaleID:=DllCall("GetKeyboardLayout", "Int", ThreadID)
  MsgBox, %InputLocaleID%
Return

Based on that outcome I'd be more than interested to know how to [url]set[/url] the keyboard layout (and set/get additional Regional Settings if possible - to be able to create unattended setups/reconfigurations).

Any help on that would be much appreciated.
Thx for listening. Cool

Keyboard layout for a specific window:
Code:
IniRead, BG, %A_ScriptDir%\%1%, TRAFL, BG, 0x00000402
IniRead, EN, %A_ScriptDir%\%1%, TRAFL, EN, 0x00000809
IniRead, FR, %A_ScriptDir%\%1%, TRAFL, FR, 0x0000040C
IniRead, RU, %A_ScriptDir%\%1%, TRAFL, RU, 0x00000419
IniRead, SP, %A_ScriptDir%\%1%, TRAFL, SP, 0x0000040A

      If T = BG
         SendMessage, 0x50, 0, %BG%, Edit1, TRAFL_E
      Else If T = EN
         SendMessage, 0x50, 0, %EN%, Edit1, TRAFL_E
      Else If T = FR
         SendMessage, 0x50, 0, %FR%, Edit1, TRAFL_E
      Else If T = RU
         SendMessage, 0x50, 0, %RU%, Edit1, TRAFL_E
      Else If T = SP
         SendMessage, 0x50, 0, %SP%, Edit1, TRAFL_E

I think Edit1 is not needed in the SendMessage commands above. Input locale is a thread characteristic, as you can see from my example, so sending it to the parent window would work as well. Also, using PostMessage seems more reasonable, according to this:

This message is posted, not sent, to the application, so the return value is ignored.

As for other locale features, I have no experience in working with them, so can't help. Rolling Eyes

I suppose the global setting, i.e. the one in the Control Panel, is sometimes more useful.

Code:
DllCall("SystemParametersInfo","Uint", 0x0059, "Uint", 0, "UintP", hKL, "Uint", 0)   ; SPI_GETDEFAULTINPUTLANG
MsgBox, % hKL

Code:
hKL := 0x00000409
DllCall("SystemParametersInfo","Uint", 0x005A, "Uint", 0, "UintP", hKL, "Uint", 0)   ; SPI_SETDEFAULTINPUTLANG
