Change Keyboard Mappings on Field Focus

[Lightwave]

Right I have Windows 7 Ultimate because I am learning Russian and I have created an English Russian dictionary.

Now using Ultimate to go between English Latin alphabet and the Cyrillic alphabet you have to press ALT + SHIFT.

Its awkward and it often doesn't register first time.

Certain fields in my database use the latin alphabet while other fields use the cyrillic alphabet.

Is there a way that on focus of a field I can get the keyboard mapping to ensure that it is correct either English or Cyrillics?

I have a bit of code i came across once upon a time. Never tried it but bits of code ALWAYS come in handy I think that is the ID for the Russian language.

Private Declare Function ActivateKeyboardLayout Lib "user32.dll" (ByVal myLanguage As Long, Flag As Boolean) As Long 'define your desired keyboardlanguage

Private Const RSN = 1049 'russian keyboard language layout

Private Const eng = 1033 'english(united states)keyboard language layout

Private Sub A_GotFocus()

Call ActivateKeyboardLayout(RSN, 0)

End Sub

Private Sub A_LostFocus()

Call ActivateKeyboardLayout(eng, 0)

End Sub
