ENG-US keyboard automatically added on app start

[RaelB 4]

Hi,

Some users who do not have the ENG-US keyboard installed, report that when app starts, the ENG-US keyboard is added to the system.

Any ideas what is causing this? Is it VCL, or maybe a third party control (such as TRichview)?

Thanks

The VCL certainly does not install new keyboards.

Does the app call LoadKeyboardLayout without KLF_SETFORPROCESS?

Thanks for the tip. I am using HotKeyManager, and looking at the source I see that it is calling LoadKeyboardLayout, and that is what is causing the problem.

Not sure if that will make a difference. Documentation says "Beginning in Windows 8: This flag is not used. "

The users that get the error - what Windows version do they have?

Not sure. I haven't asked. It is not an error. It is an unexpected behaviour, but it is documented in the component itself.
