dllcall

[adamgal]

I am trying to use dllcall to get the current keyboard layout, but for some reason it always returns english (0409) this is the code:

$user32dll = DllOpen("user32.dll")
$x = DllCall($user32dll,"long","GetKeyboardLayout","int",0)
MsgBox(0,"",hex($x[0],4))
DllClose($user32dll)

what I thought was maybe this, the parameter I am supposed to give is a thread identifier or 0 for the current thread,

anyone have any thoughts about this?

Link to MSDN - GetKeyboardLayout

why do you open it?? just remove that line

$x = DllCall($user32dll,"long","GetKeyboardLayout","int",0)
MsgBox(0,"",hex($x[0],4))

that doesn't make any difference, I tried it without opening too

Works fine here....I believe it returns the Default keyboard layout...

returns 0409 when i set the default keyboard to US English

returns 0413 when i set the default to Dutch

oh, well, you know any way to get the current input language, not the default one?

cause the default language is a static thing and what I need is to know in what language the user is currently typing.

thanks anyway

But isn't the issue that a new process is shelled which will use the Default language settings ?

yeah, youre right, but how do I get the thread ID of a different process to give to GetKeyboardLayout ?
