Microsoft Word Visual Basic

Keyboard Method

       

Returns or sets the keyboard language and layout settings.

expression.Keyboard(LangId)

expression   Required. An expression that returns an Application object.

LangId   Optional Long. The language and layout combination to which Microsoft Word sets the keyboard. If this argument is omitted, the method returns the current language and layout setting.

Remarks

Microsoft Windows tracks keyboard language and layout settings using a variable type called an input language handle, often referred to as an HKL. The low word of the handle is a language ID, and the high word is a handle to a keyboard layout.

Example

This example assigns the current keyboard language and layout setting to a variable.

Dim lngKeyboard As Long

lngKeyboard = Application.Keyboard
