I have installed Phoenetic Key board for Urdu language, that I can select from Control Panel > Languages > Keyboard
Can I add languages and select keyboard using my vb.net code?
Thanks
The InputLanguage.CurrentInputLanguage property lets you switch keyboard layouts. Not so sure it can deal with multiple layouts for a single language but I don’t really know what “Phoenetic Key board” really means. The underlying Windows api functions are LoadKeyboardLayout() and ActivateKeyboardLayout(), you could pinvoke them. GetKeyboardLayoutList() to get a list of installed layouts, you probably need that, GetKeyboardLayoutName() to get a description of a layout. Also covered by the InputLanguage class.
You normally leave it up to the user to select keyboard layouts, forcing your preference is pretty hostile to usability. Easy to do with the language bar.
