Intercept keyboard input using current keyboard layout in C#

Question

Hello.

I've implemented a low-level keyboard hook using SetWindowsHookEx() function. It works fine and returns a virtual key code for each keystroke. I can convert this virtual key code to a System.Windows.Input.Key using KeyInterop.KeyFromVirtualKey(). But the target is to get a symbol that corresponds to this virtual key code in current keyboard layout.

I.e. for German layout I want to get "Y" for Key.Z, "Z" for Key.Y.

Does anyone can help?

Thank you.

call the GetKeyboardLayout to retrieve the active layout value, then, do some conditional loop to get the result you want.
