Quick search in Google will provide a variety of solutions , most of them are based on WindowsFormsApplicationBase object from VB.Net, usage of Mutex object and other techniques. I don’t like mixing VB with C#, and also Win-Forms solution isn’t “pure” enough for WPF applications. So I wrote my...

Very useful to alert users about change in keyboard layout like language ([Alt] + [Shift] ENG <=> HEB) or capital letters.
