Examples

The following example demonstrates how to use an InputLanguageManager to set the input language of a TextBox element.

this.Dispatcher.Thread.CurrentCulture.Name.ToString();
InputLanguageManager.SetInputLanguage(myTextBox, CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture("fr"));
tb2.Text = "Available Input Languages:";
lb1.ItemsSource = InputLanguageManager.Current.AvailableInputLanguages;
tb3.Text = "Input Language of myTextBox is " + InputLanguageManager.GetInputLanguage(myTextBox).ToString();
tb4.Text = "CurrentCulture is Set to " + this.Dispatcher.Thread.CurrentCulture.Name.ToString();
Me.Dispatcher.Thread.CurrentCulture.Name.ToString()
InputLanguageManager.SetInputLanguage(myTextBox, CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture("fr"))
tb2.Text = "Available Input Languages:"
lb1.ItemsSource = InputLanguageManager.Current.AvailableInputLanguages
tb3.Text = "Input Language of myTextBox is " & InputLanguageManager.GetInputLanguage(myTextBox).ToString()
tb4.Text = "CurrentCulture is Set to " & Me.Dispatcher.Thread.CurrentCulture.Name.ToString()
