Hi,

I have a problem with getting current language.

I know how to get and set it but i have a timer which is getting language auto every 1 second but it has a problem!

When I focus on the form timer will get the true value(English) but if I not focus on the form and change my input language to persian(for example) it won't get the true value and it is still getting English until I focus on the form!

This is the code I am using:

VB

Dim myCurrentLanguage As InputLanguage = InputLanguage.CurrentInputLanguage
        Label6.Text = myCurrentLanguage.Culture.EnglishName & ControlChars.Cr

What should I do?

Thanks

Thanks but that was C# code... Any VB.NET code you have?

No, I don't have VB code, but you can try to convert C# to VB using this tool:
