hi all
i try to get the key board layout with

TempKeyBoard = "KL_NAMELENGTH","0"
key_layout = DLL.CallFunction("user32.dll", "GetKeyboardLayoutNameW", TempKeyBoard, DLL_RETURN_TYPE_LONG, DLL_CALL_STDCALL) 

now the var key_layout point to the (keyboard layout name)
or point to the success or fail of the dll call

When using these dll functions scroll to the bottom of the page and if it gives you two choices pick the A so its GetKeyboardLayoutNameA for ANSI as Lua doesn't do Unicode thats GetKeyboardLayoutNameW.

You need a buffer as well so you'll need the MemoryEx plugin and the code will be something like this:

--Load the dll
User32Library = Library.Load("user32.dll")
--Create a buffer
B = MemoryEx.Allocate(9)
--Call the function passing it the buffer address
User32Library.GetKeyboardLayoutNameA(B)
--If function returns > 0 then get buffer content
t = MemoryEx.String(B,-1,MEMEX_ASCII)
--Close buffer
MemoryEx.Free(B)
--Close dll if finished
User32Library:Close_()
--If function call was > 0 then t has the info you want
Dialog.Message("",t)
