I need the csharp (C#) function for this API function: SystemParametersInfo(SPI_GETWORKAREA, 0, &rc, 0); Or must I pInvoke this (also)? My biggest problem with C# is to find the C# function for API functions? Is there any help for this available anywhere?

Hello, I want to change the keyboard language. Does anyone have an example code in VB6 for that? I know already from MSDN that it should be possible with the SystemParametersInfo and the SPI_SETDEFAULTINPUTLANG and you have to use the HKL. But I really do not understand how to do that. I would be very grateful for help! BigWilli
