I use two keyboard layouts (two languages) and for a scripting I'm writing, I need to get the current keyboard layout.
I found this function called GetKeyboardLayoutNameA from the user32.dll: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/api/winuser/nf-winuser-getkeyboardlayoutnamea
It only accepts one parameter and it points to the buffer of where the locale identifier is stored at:
The buffer (of at least KL_NAMELENGTH characters in length) that receives the name of the input locale identifier, including the terminating null character. This will be a copy of the string provided to the LoadKeyboardLayout function, unless layout substitution took place.
So I wrote this script, and I used StrGet to convert the buffer to String, which seems to not work. What am I doing wrong here?
F7::
VarSetCapacity(LocaleID, 8, 0)
DllCall("GetKeyboardLayoutNameA", "Str", LocaleID)
MsgBox, % LocaleID
clipboard := StrGet(LocaleID)
Return
The script is just an example, my question is:
How to access a data buffer, and get it's value?

Get rid of StrGet and it would work fine. StrGet takes an address parameter:
The address at which the string will be written to/read from.
But LocaleID isn't an address.
Additionally, you can use this to get the LocaleID of the keyboard:
F7::
SetFormat, Integer, H
WinGet, WinID,, A
ThreadID:=DllCall("GetWindowThreadProcessId", "UInt", WinID, "UInt", 0)
LocaleID:=DllCall("GetKeyboardLayout", "UInt", ThreadID, "UInt")
MsgBox, %LocaleID%
clipboard := LocaleID
Return
