This function places the specified layout in the available layout list.

Syntax 

HKL LoadKeyboardLayout(
  LPCSTR 
pwszKLID,
  UINT 
Flags
);

Parameters

pwszKLID

[in] Input locale identifier.

Flags

[in] Ignored.

Return Value

If successful, returns the handle to the input locale identifier. Otherwise returns zero.

Remarks

This function fails for any input locales that are not keyboard layouts, such as Input Method Editors (IMEs).

This function must be re-entrant, because the input system exposes it through the LoadKeyboardLayoutfunction and multiple threads can call it.

Requirements

Header winuser.h
Library coredll.lib
Windows Embedded CE Windows CE .NET 4.2 and later
Windows Mobile Windows Mobile Version 5.0 and later
