I made Sinhalese Unicode text typing software using vb.net
its use windows API.

I have two languages set in my windows settings - Czech (default) and English (for programming). I want to switch between them in powershell.
I generally work in Czech language, and it is my default language on my PC. So whenever I (re)start any app, it starts with Czech keyboard layout.
But I am programming with English layout. So I always need to tap Alt+Shift when I am starting new programming app - i.e. powershell window.
Is there some way to do this with some command in powershell? Or in C#, possibly through some win32 api call (as I could make myself small cmdlet for this)?
I found this question (and some others), but I didn't understand it(them) much...
I never worked with Win API, so I don't know what exactly is possible and how to work with it...
Does somebody has some cmdlet or little tutorial how to do this?
I found nice and very easy solution! There is WASP project on Codeplex. This project allows to manipulate windows, send keys to them and send clicks to them.
Solution for my problem is to import the WASP module when powershell is starting, then select powershell window (using WASP) and send Alt+Shift keystroke to it (using WASP).
Here is the code to include to the powershell profile.ps1 file in order to change language to the next one:
Import-Module WASP
Select-Window powershell | Send-Keys "%+" # '%' = ALT key, '+' = SHIFT key
Go to the Control Panel, open Regional and Language Options.
Click the Details...
Click Add and Remove to manage the languages you need.
add your language. Click OK to exit.
The keyboard layout is changed, you can switch them via Language Bar.

I'm currently working on a project where I have firefox launching in one of three modes:
normal
full - kiosk mode with only tabs, and home back and forward navigation showing.
Super - kiosk mode no tabs or anything showing just the content window (true kiosk mode)
Now due to time constraints I have implemented via pygtk rather than creating a custom Firefox extension as the requirements of the project would require a new flag adding to the command line in order to identify what mode it was to launch in. The approach I have used works beautifully, Great. . .
However the problem now is how can I disable all of the hot keys i.e. Ctrl + T, etc, without writing a extension. I am unable to use an existing extension because I need the shortcuts available when firefox is in normal mode and as firefox (for the project) can only be started via the command line programatically I would need a flag to determine weather to restrict the hot keys or not.
I was hoping to be able to achieve this using user.js which is placed programatically into the correct profiles when they are created in another bit of my application. I have tried using user.js by modifying accelKey, chromeAccess, contentAccess, generalAccessKey and menuAccessKey and setting their values to 0, which works for menu access but not for anything else.
Finally the Question
Is it possible to disable all shortcuts from user.js or can you only do it through an extension?
No, you cannot disable shortcut keys via preferences. Not all shortcut keys use the configurable Accel modifier, but even the ones that do cannot be disabled via preferences. In case you are interested, the code handling them only recognizes Meta, Alt and Ctrl as valid values, with Ctrl being the default for inputs that aren't recognized. You can try using Meta (the corresponding code is 224), it seems unmapped on PC keyboard. For anything more fancy than that you will need an extension.
I apologize if this sounds like an ad instead of an answer, it's not meant to.
If you do have time constraints and you just want to get a hold of the code you need, there is an open source kiosk project called Webconverger that has already done a lot of the heavy lifting.
Using VBScript, I want to add an additional button to Notepad labeled “send” . The send button should be located near the help menu in the Notepad window
Please advise if it is possible to add a button inside Notepad. And if it possible then how can I create the button using VBScript?
Note - why I need to add the send button: The purpose of the send button is to send the file opened in Notepad to a remote Linux machine over the network.
This is not possible with VBScript. You could possibly manage to add the button, but you couldn't hook anything to respond to it being clicked.
You could probably hack something together using the native Win32 API, but it's more work to do that than it would be to write your own simple editor in any other language and use it instead of Notepad. (Notepad is simply a thin wrapper around a multiline edit control provided by the Windows API.)
It's Impossible via VBScript but with help of more serious languages like c# or c++ freely:
for example see project of my friend:

On Windows 7, when we install an unsigned driver, it will pop-up a Windows security dialog. It is easy to have it be clicked on by AutoIt. Just search the window dialog with the specified window title.
But now, I want to use it on another platform with a different language. The window title will be changed to the local language, not the 'Windows security'.
How can I create the AutoIt script, which can handle the Windows security dialog in different language?
Fix this issue by finding a child handle from the security window class.
Try to use a class on Tittle. Title = [CLASS:notepad]
for more information visit here http://autoitsourcecode.blogspot.com/2013/04/autoit-control-send.html
Use the "AutoIt v3 Window Information" Tool provided by the "AutoIt full installation" and try to get some unique information like a Class name which is occuring in each different language dialog window as descirbed in advanced window descriptions. Then use these to search for the proper security window.
I'd suggest, you use the WinWaitActive("[REGEXPTITLE:Windows Security|Windows Sicherheit]") function with regular expressions for being able to wait for multiple windows with different titles.
I understand the process needed to customize a right click menu going through the regedit etc. However I need to the ability to go multiple levels such as in applications like WinZip. Here's a picture for clarification of what I need

You need to write a Shell Extension; there is a guide for writing one in managed code (C#) here. It will involve doing a bunch of interop and implementing COM interfaces that the windows shell will consume, namely IShellExtInit and IContextMenu.
However, one could argue that writing a Shell Extension in managed code is not advisable; it will force windows explorer to load the CLR, (or any app that uses the standard windows 'Open File' dialog) - native code (C++) would be a better choice for this.
