[Gambas-user] How to Change Keyboard Layout

[T Lee Davidson]

If each box will use a specific layout, you could use a semaphore.

[code]
Public $IsEnglishLayout = True

Public Sub EnglishTextbox1_GotFocus()
  If Not $IsEnglishLayout then Destkop.Sendkeys(blah)
  $IsEnglishLayout = True
End

Public Sub ArabicTextbox1_GotFocus()
  If $IsEnglishLayout then Destkop.Sendkeys(blah)
  $IsEnglishLayout = False
End
[/code]
