'How to get keyboard name? (to visually distinguish keyboards in a specific language)
I have for example 2 languages installed — English and Russian. And Russian has 2 keyboards — Ordinary and Mnemonic:
When I run the code:
UINT uLayouts;
HKL *lpList = NULL;
wchar_t szBufLng[512], szBufCtry[512];
uLayouts = GetKeyboardLayoutList(0, NULL);
lpList = (HKL*)LocalAlloc(LPTR, (uLayouts * sizeof(HKL)));
uLayouts = GetKeyboardLayoutList(uLayouts, lpList);
for(int i = 0; i < uLayouts; ++i)
{
GetLocaleInfo(MAKELCID(((UINT)lpList[i] & 0xffffffff),
SORT_DEFAULT), LOCALE_SISO639LANGNAME, szBufLng, 512);
GetLocaleInfo(MAKELCID(((UINT)lpList[i] & 0xffffffff),
SORT_DEFAULT), LOCALE_SISO3166CTRYNAME, szBufCtry, 512);
wprintf(L"%s-%s, %x\n", szBufLng, szBufCtry, (UINT)lpList[i]);
memset(szBufLng, 0, 512);
memset(szBufCtry, 0, 512);
}
if(lpList)
LocalFree(lpList);
I get the following result:
en-US, 04090409
ru-RU, 04190419
ru-RU, f0330419
My question is how to distinguish the mnemonic? At least to display something like this:
en-US, 04090409
ru-RU, 04190419
rum-RU, f0330419

Solution 1:[1]
Keyboard layouts can be obtained from windows regedit. the following is python code:
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
# ??????????????
# get all keyboard layouts from win regedit
import json
import winreg
def get_keyboard_layouts():
"""
windows ??????????????
??: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/66841378
"""
print('get keyboard layouts')
# reg root path
loc_root = winreg.HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
# Keyboard Layouts reg path
loc_keyboards = r'SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layouts'
# open reg path, get handle
handle_keyboards = winreg.OpenKey(key=loc_root, sub_key=loc_keyboards)
# get info of reg 'Keyboard Layouts'
# The result is a tuple of 3 items:
# An integer that identifies the number of sub keys this key has.
# An integer that identifies the number of values this key has.
# An integer that identifies when the key was last modified (if available)
# as 100's of nanoseconds since Jan 1, 1600.
info_keyboards = winreg.QueryInfoKey(handle_keyboards)
# get sub key length
keyboards_len = info_keyboards[0]
keyboard_layout = {}
# traverse to get sub key
for i in range(keyboards_len):
# sub key name
name_keyboard = winreg.EnumKey(handle_keyboards, i)
# sub key path
loc_keyboard = fr'{loc_keyboards}\{name_keyboard}'
# open sub key
handle_keyboard = winreg.OpenKey(key=loc_root, sub_key=loc_keyboard)
# get layout text
layout_text = winreg.QueryValueEx(handle_keyboard, 'Layout Text')[0]
# save layout name and layout text
keyboard_layout[name_keyboard] = layout_text
# ?????? https://stackoverflow.com/questions/42047253/

name_keyboard_hex = hex(int(name_keyboard, 16))
# save hex layout name and layout text
