VB.net Windows Language

Question

I make Program check language

Dim ln As String

Private Sub Timer1_Tick(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick

 ln = System.Windows.Forms.InputLanguage.CurrentInputLanguage.LayoutName

 If ln = "US" Then

 Label1.Text = "English"

 Else

 Label1.Text = "Thai"

 End If

 End Sub

My program will check windows language but this program will check language itself not check windows.

Sorry My English bad.

Please help me.

What do you mean by *"change program to notepad"*? Please describe what you expect to happen. — Filburt, Apr 14 '14 at 07:23

According to http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/goglobal/bb688135.aspx, "Switching to a different input language is done on a per-thread basis; you can have two different input languages in two different applications." That's why you don't see changes made in Notepad - you're asking for the current thread's language, not Notepad's language.

Also, take a look at Detect system language change in WPF to see how to use events instead of polling with a timer.
