Do anybody know how to quietly add the Language Keyboad into Regional Setting's Languages section?

Example:

- Default Keyboad is now: English (United state) with English International Keyboad layout.

- Additional : French with Frech Keyboad Layout.... (want to be added silently from our code)

Your kindly help is appreciated.

Thanks,

I am not sure if this will work since I don't have time to test it right now. Try this:

Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.RegWrite "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\ WOW\boot.description\keyboard.typ", "keyboard type here"
WshShell.RegWrite "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\ WOW\boot.description\language.dll", "language here"

I am not sure if you would also need to do a "WshShell.RegDelete" to remove a value before you put in a new one. I think these will substitute a new value for whatever is in there.

I got that but can we use only one Keyboard.typ and language.dll set? or if we can add more than one set to that Registry folder?

Thanks,

I am assuming that you are checking for a certain condition on the system, and then changing the setting with the application. That should not be a problem, but I am not sure if you need to reboot in order for the changes to take effect. If that is the case, then nothing will work, except for character substitution. I am not sure if your system or Access will do nchars.

There is a WinAPI that will specify what keyboard layouts are used. You'll have to write a routine to invoke the API on a Windows level whenever you want to switch keyboard layouts in code.

AvGuy:
Could you give me a hand in showing me how to work with that?

mmcdonal:
Your code seems to work find, but I still can't add more keyboad to the system...don't know why.

Appreciate you kindly help.
