MOIS keyboard

Is it possible to let MOIS pick the type of keyboard (azerty <-> qwerty) from the underlying OS?
default it's qwerty but I can't find how to change this (manually or automatically)?

Maybe you can find it out by a .NET library?
..... search on web or ask in a C# forum

Or alternatively by SlimDX? (You need to include the slimdx.dll file to your project.)

Hi,

this code will not work out of the box, it's just some old code snippet I found in my repository that I used some years ago to convert DirectX scancodes into localized ASCII codes through the system keyboard layout.
This code snipper might help you to get the right idea where to look for the answer.
