how to use autoit to check keyboard type?

[Bean2014]

Sorry but Im newbie at autoit, so I dont know how to do this.

I often type in two languages: English and Vietnamese. And I use Unikey to switch 2 languages above (by hot key CTRL + SHIFT). 

Now I want to check: If in Vietnamese, It will change to English automaticaly (or vice versa)

Could anyone help me to do this!

Thanks!

No one will just write the code for you, this is a teach to fish type forum.

Area's you'll want to look in the help file:

_WinAPI_GetDesktopWindow

_WinAPI_GetKeyboardLayout

_WinAPI_LoadKeyboardLayout

To help you understand and get started:

#include <WinAPI.au3>
#include <WinAPISys.au3>
#include <APILocaleConstants.au3>
#include <WinAPILocale.au3>
Local $hWnd = _WinAPI_GetDesktopWindow()
Local $iLocale = _WinAPI_GetKeyboardLayout($hWnd)
$iLocale = _WinAPI_LoWord($iLocale)
Local $sLocale = _WinAPI_GetLocaleInfo($iLocale, $LOCALE_SLANGUAGE)
MsgBox(64, "Info", "Current language layout: " & $sLocale)

I dont know why but I think Unikey dont affect the input language. Because when I use Unkey in the English mode or Vietnamese mode, the input language dont change (It always show EN in the language bar)

To me this always brings the default input.

To get the current input, one can just use the following built-in command:

@KBLayout
