Switch Keyboard for your application

Problem/Question/Abstract:

Switch Keyboard for your application

Answer:

Solve 1:

Following code will activate 'Greek' Keyboard Layout for the application.

var
  LangIdentifier: string;
begin
  LangIdentifier := '00000408'; //'0000408' is the Language Identifier for Greek
  LoadKeyboardLayout(PChar(LangIdentifier), KLF_ACTIVATE);
end;

PS: This would only Load the Keyboard Layouts which are installed on that very machine otherwise there would be no affect.
