Question

I have a C# application that needs to set the Windows language bar to english or at least back to the default setting. I know I can set the InputLanguage of my own application but I need to set the input language for Windows in general. This can be done manually using the language bar, but I need a way to do it programmatically. Is there a way to do this?

Answer 1

I ended up doing this:

Process[] apps=Process.GetProcesses();
foreach (Process p in apps)
{
    if (p.MainWindowHandle.ToInt32()>0)
    {
        NativeWin32.SetForegroundWindow(p.MainWindowHandle.ToInt32());

        //send control shift 2 to switch the language bar back to english.
        System.Windows.Forms.SendKeys.SendWait("^+(2)");

        p.Dispose();
    }
}
