_WinAPI_GetKeyboardLayout and _WinAPI_GetKeyboardLayoutList


Recommended Posts

Hi.

I just came across these two functions:

_WinAPI_GetKeyboardLayout()
_WinAPI_GetKeyboardLayoutList()

 

That's something, that would be quite helpfull sometimes at a server, where I want a different keyboard layout, but I already fail to *GET* the current layout or the list of layouts.

 

#include <WinAPISys.au3>



$LayoutList=_WinAPI_GetKeyboardLayoutList
ConsoleWrite('@@ Debug(' & @ScriptLineNumber & ') : $LayoutList = ' & $LayoutList & @CRLF & '>Error code: ' & @error & @CRLF) ;### Debug Console
$VarType=VarGetType($LayoutList)
ConsoleWrite('@@ Debug(' & @ScriptLineNumber & ') : $VarType = ' & $VarType & @CRLF & '>Error code: ' & @error & @CRLF) ;### Debug Console
$layout=_WinAPI_GetKeyboardLayout
ConsoleWrite('@@ Debug(' & @ScriptLineNumber & ') : $layout = ' & $layout & @CRLF & '>Error code: ' & @error & @CRLF) ;### Debug Console
$VarType=VarGetType($Layout)
ConsoleWrite('@@ Debug(' & @ScriptLineNumber & ') : $VarType = ' & $VarType & @CRLF & '>Error code: ' & @error & @CRLF) ;### Debug Console

; _WinAPI_ActivateKeyboardLayout

What is the variable type "UserFunction"?

Looking up the functions in WinApiSYS.AU3 I'd expect either to receive an @error value or an array to be returned.

$hWnd propably shall be a window handle, isn't it?

What do I miss?

There is a difference between

$LayoutList=_WinAPI_GetKeyboardLayoutList

And

$LayoutList=_WinAPI_GetKeyboardLayoutList()

One assigns a user function to a variable and the other assigns the return value of the user function to a variable.
