    I am trying to receive the keyboard layout. I have written a keylogger, which is coming on nicely, but one feature i want it to have is to get the keyboard layout. As in the United Kingdom the @ and " are the other way round to those in America, and currently my keylogger will get this wrong on an American Keyboard.

    Does anyone have any suggestions, i couldn't find the API for it.

    Darren.

    LoadKeyboardLayout is that API for this....

    GetKeyboardLayoutName is the API to get the keyboard layout name

    U could refer to MSDN for parameters

    Dim strName As Stringstr
    Const KL_NAMELENGTH = 9
    Name = String (KL_NAMELENGTH, 0)
    GetKeyboardLayoutName strName


    Strname will contain the Layout name
