Thread Safety
Any public static (Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are thread safe. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.
Remarks
You can use the data from the InputLanguageChangedEventArgs to make decisions about whether to change Input Method Editors (IMEs) or swap right-to-left values. You can also change the CurrentCulture of a thread and the CurrentUICulture properties so that different resources get picked up.
An InputLanguageChangedEventArgs identifies the locale and the character set of the new input language.
The InputLanguageChanging event precedes the InputLanguageChanged event.
Example
[Visual Basic, C#, C++] The following example creates a new Form and attaches an event handler to the InputLanguageChanged event. This event changes the IMEmode when the input language changes to Japanese.
[Visual Basic] Imports System Imports System.Drawing Imports System.Collections Imports System.ComponentModel Imports System.Windows.Forms Imports System.Data Public Class Form1 Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form Dim WithEvents rtb As New RichTextBox() Public Sub New() MyBase.New() Me.Controls.Add(rtb) rtb.Dock = DockStyle.Fill End Sub Private Sub languageChange( _ ByVal sender As Object, _ ByVal e As InputLanguageChangedEventArgs _ ) Handles MyBase.InputLanguageChanged ' If the input language is Japanese. ' set the initial IMEMode to Katakana. If e.InputLanguage.Culture.TwoLetterISOLanguageName.Equals("ja") = True Then rtb.ImeMode = System.Windows.Forms.ImeMode.Katakana End If End Sub Public Shared Sub Main() Application.Run(new Form1()) End Sub End Class [C#] using System; using System.Drawing; using System.Collections; using System.ComponentModel; using System.Windows.Forms; using System.Data; public class Form1 : System.Windows.Forms.Form { RichTextBox rtb = new RichTextBox(); public Form1() { this.Controls.Add(rtb); rtb.Dock = DockStyle.Fill; this.InputLanguageChanged += new InputLanguageChangedEventHandler(languageChange); } private void languageChange(Object sender, InputLanguageChangedEventArgs e) { // If the input language is Japanese. // set the initial IMEMode to Katakana. if (e.InputLanguage.Culture.TwoLetterISOLanguageName.Equals("ja")) { rtb.ImeMode = System.Windows.Forms.ImeMode.Katakana; } } public static void Main(string[] args) { Application.Run(new Form1()); } } [C++] #using <mscorlib.dll> #using <System.Data.dll> #using <System.Windows.Forms.dll> #using <System.dll> #using <System.Drawing.dll> using namespace System; using namespace System::Drawing; using namespace System::Collections; using namespace System::ComponentModel; using namespace System::Windows::Forms; using namespace System::Data; public __gc class Form1 : public System::Windows::Forms::Form { RichTextBox* rtb; public: Form1() { rtb = new RichTextBox(); this->Controls->Add(rtb); rtb->Dock = DockStyle::Fill; this->InputLanguageChanged += new InputLanguageChangedEventHandler(this, &Form1::languageChange); } private: void languageChange(Object* /*sender*/, InputLanguageChangedEventArgs* e) { // If the input language is Japanese. // set the initial IMEMode to Katakana. if (e->InputLanguage->Culture->TwoLetterISOLanguageName->Equals(S"ja")) { rtb->ImeMode = System::Windows::Forms::ImeMode::Katakana; } } }; int main() { Application::Run(new Form1()); }
