Hi Muhammad,

It took me a while to figure that one out but it turns out it's really
easy. Here's an example that sets the keyboard for an app to the English
keyboard instead of the US keyboard:

'&h809 is the English - United Kingdom culture.
Dim x As New System.Globaliz ation.CultureIn fo(&H809)
InputLanguage.C urrentInputLang uage = InputLanguage.F romCulture(x)
You can see a full list of the culture info id's in help:
ms-help://MS.VSCC.2003/MS.MSDNQTR.2003 APR.1033/cpref/html/frlrfsystemglob ali
zationculturein foclasstopic.ht m
If that link doesn't work simply look up the CultureInfo Class.

When I was in boy scouts, as part of learning Morse code, I was told that the inventor of the typewriter originally put the letter 'e' under the left middle finger, just below its present position.

This led me to wonder if 't' might have been moved from the home row for the same reason. 'E is dit and T is dash, under middle...

OT - New keyboard layouts

by: Steve Jorgensen | last post by:

Well, it seems that Microsoft, or whatever powers that be have decided it's time for us to have yet another standard keyboard layout change. I think I see that the point of this one was to reduce the space occupied by the keys on the right, so the reach to the mouse is not so bad, but the way they chose to do it? Ah - I see. Since most of what we type will simply be deleted at some point, let's make sure the Delete key is big and easy...

Hi Can anyone help. I would like to replace the keys on the PC keyboard. For example, when I press Q button it displays A on the screen in any programs (MS Words, Note, Lotus....).

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
