How to change the keyboard layout?

[Mic Mathi]

How can I convert the keyboard layout to arabic? I could covert the characters using the API 'LoadKeyboardLayout'. But the digits are not converting to arabic. I searched in the net for the API I understand the digits can convert with the function 'SetLocaleInfo'. This function receives 3 arguments but i don't know the value should be passed to this funtions. Please help to find the values of the arguments. Thanks and Regards, Mic

you must use System.Windows.Forms.InputLanguage Class to do this here is an example to change the input language to Farsi

        foreach (InputLanguage lang in InputLanguage.InstalledInputLanguages)
            if (lang.LayoutName == "Farsi")
            {
                InputLanguage.CurrentInputLanguage = lang;
                break;
            }

Thanks for your reply. It will change the characters but it is not changing the digits. Thanks and Regards, Mic

there is no need to use APIs I just change my font to Persian/Arabic font and the numbers was ok (in Persian/Arabic) I used 30 fonts and all of them was ok here is the arabic font pack from microsoft http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=A83C0E03-8913-47A3-ACB7-8AC357627620&displaylang=AR but I didn't test these fonts if you have problem with them and want the tested fonts just tell me:)

use the following statement to change the input language. InputLanguage.CurrentInputLanguage = InputLanguage.FromCulture(CultureInfo.CurrentCulture); Regards Elayaraja.S
