[Gambas-user] How to Change Keyboard Layout

[Wael M]

Thanks Gianluigi and thanks Lee
you both put some solutions that seems brilliant but I got confused and couldn't get an appropriate code out of those
is my fault I know but don't forget I'm new to Gambas 
so if you please could send me an example for a forum with two textboxes each one changes the keyboard language when it get focus, I will be profoundly appreciated

thanks again for your valuable time

 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]

 when I put cursor in the desired textbox, it evokes the code
