WinUI 3 keyboard layout for input from SwapChainPanel
Comment
1 / 1
To set the keyboard layout for input from a SwapChainPanel in a WinUI 3 application, you can use the following steps:
- Get the CoreWindow object associated with the SwapChainPanel by calling the static method GetForCurrentThread() on the CoreWindow class.
- Get the current InputLanguage object by calling the InputLanguageManager.CurrentInputLanguage property.
- Set the current keyboard layout by calling the SetPreferredLanguage() method on the CoreWindow object, passing in the BCP-47 language tag of the desired keyboard layout. You can get the BCP-47 language tag from the DisplayName property of the InputLanguage object.
Here is an example code snippet that sets the keyboard layout to German:
sqlusing Windows.Globalization;
using Windows.UI.Core;
// Get the CoreWindow object associated with the SwapChainPanel
CoreWindow coreWindow = CoreWindow.GetForCurrentThread();
// Get the current input language
InputLanguage currentLanguage = InputLanguageManager.CurrentInputLanguage;
// Set the preferred language to German
coreWindow.SetPreferredLanguage(new Language("de-DE"));
Note that this code should be called after the SwapChainPanel has been loaded and initialized.
