Activate Unicode IME under program control on MS Windows

Activate Unicode IME under program control on MS Windows

We have a tick box in Options->Configure->Unicode Input that says "Activate selected keyboard". I have come up with this from our interpreter code for that:
      'loadkeyb'⎕NA'user32.dll|LoadKeyboardLayoutW <0T I4'

⍝ Then, for my locale of UK, I can use this to load our Unicode IME into the Dyalog process:
loadkeyb'e0990809' 259

⍝ For other keyboard layouts:

loadkeyb'e0990406' 259 ⍝ DK
loadkeyb'e0990407' 259 ⍝ DE
loadkeyb'e0990409' 259 ⍝ US
loadkeyb'e099040A' 259 ⍝ ES
loadkeyb'e099040b' 259 ⍝ FI
loadkeyb'e099040C' 259 ⍝ FR
loadkeyb'e0990410' 259 ⍝ IT
loadkeyb'e099041D' 259 ⍝ SE

⍝ To switch back to the standard English-United Kingdom layout:
loadkeyb'00000809' 259
