Language Switching DIALOGKBD
Anybody got any advice on language switching the DIALOGKBD window?
I've implemented language display switching which can control font and text lists via the Language File mechanism and let's call that fine.
What it does not do is alter the language of DIALOGKBD.
As we all know different countries use different keyboards with different layouts.
I have found I can alter the runtime construction of DIALOGKBD and clones of it to reflect different languages by altering the Windows keyboard region settings during design time. However this has no obvious effect at run time, switching region doesn't switch any keyboards. At design time it just gives me new screen specific functions for swedish characters, but no mechanism for changing the layout and associating the layout with a keyboard language.
This is compounded by some screen specific types only ever using DIALOGKBD screen as a hardcoded option, not permitting me to substitute in a different languaged keyboard even if I could determine at runtime what the keyboard is regioned to.
And further compounded by some data entry screen elements not calling windows functions that might bring up a pre-installed touch screen keyboard program that does have selectable inbuilt keyboard layout altering on windows region.
So, really, I'm literally begging for any useful information on how to switch keyboard layout during runtime, preferably with the same button I made to switch display language.
But really, any information. Any at all.
