C# - Automatically switch between two different IME in the same keyboard layout

Question

I did an application to enter chinese pinyin and hanzi in a database. That means that the operator have to switch constantly between "Pinyinput" and "sogou input" with ctrl+shift There is a way to make the IME change automaticall when a textbox is selected? I mean, not switch the keyboard layout, just the input method of the same keyboard layout

Answer 1

try this, I'm not sure about the name of the languages, try to debug it and get the right name if it didn't work.

public void ToPinyinput()
        {
                string CName= "";
                foreach(InputLanguage lang in InputLanguage.InstalledInputLanguages) 
                {
                        CName = lang.Culture.EnglishName.ToString();

                        if(CName.StartsWith("Pinyinput"))
                        {
                                InputLanguage.CurrentInputLanguage = lang;
                        }
                }

        }


public void Tosogou()
        {
                string CName= "";
                foreach(InputLanguage lang in InputLanguage.InstalledInputLanguages) 
                {
                        CName = lang.Culture.EnglishName.ToString();

                        if(CName.StartsWith("sogou"))
                        {
                                InputLanguage.CurrentInputLanguage = lang;
                        }
                }

        }

if it didn't work, you need to change the following line to the correct lang name:

CName.StartsWith("langName")
