Sending Alt Shift to Toggle Greek to English an vice versa

[AthanBit]

I am Using Windows 10 on 32 Operating System

On typing I use Alt + Shift so  to enable toggle typing in English and Greek

i find it impossible to achieve the same function using autoit3 using Send ("!+")

I would appreciate any help in solving this problem

Also I would appreciate any help in switching to Greek language using the CAPS Key

Thank you

This works for me, toggling between Fra and Eng:

Send("{ALTDOWN}")
Send("{SHIFTDOWN}")
Send("{SHIFTUP}")
Send("{ALTUP}")

To use the Caps Lock key to toggle between input locales, use this:

#include <Misc.au3>

Local $hDLL = DllOpen("user32.dll")

While 1
    If _IsPressed(14, $hDLL) Then
        Send("{ALTDOWN}")
        Send("{SHIFTDOWN}")
        Send("{SHIFTUP}")
        Send("{ALTUP}")
        While _IsPressed(14, $hDLL)
            Sleep(50)
        WEnd
    EndIf
WEnd

Note that toggling requires two CapsLock keypresses.

@jchd Isn't that possible to do more efficiently with HotKeySet?

Yes of course, choose the way you prefer. The idea is more about using ALTDOWN/ALTUP and SHIFTDOWN/SHIFTUP rather than !+

I would recommend doing a DLL call to set the input language instead of automating the keystrokes.

#include <WinAPISys.au3>
Const $INPUTLANG_EN_US = 0x0409
Const $INPUTLANG_EL_GR = 0x0408
_WinAPI_SetKeyboardLayout(WinGetHandle("[active]"), $INPUTLANG_EL_GR)
