How to change keyboard settings from your application
Our application's settings are stored in the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ComfortSoftware\hvk registry key.
If your software changes any of these settings in the system registry, our application will need to load them again. It can be done by sending a windows message containing the WM_USER + 196 code to our program:
WM_CSRELOADOPTIONS = WM_USER + 196;
PostMessage(FindWindow('TFirstForm', 'hvkFirstForm'), WM_CSRELOADOPTIONS, 0, 0);
This command allows you to do the following:
- Change the keyboard transparency
- Change the keyboard size
- Change the interface language (labels on system keys) according to the current input language
- Temporarily disable the Show the on-screen keyboard when the text cursor is visible option
- Temporarily disable the Text Suggestions feature
- Change the limitation on access to our application's settings without reloading the program
