Thank you for all your suggestions and I definitely follow them. Just one more question? When I try to windows default keyboard layout in Adobe Pagemake or Photshop it only shows some question marks instead of the letter. When I googled for the problem I found that Adobe products doesn't support "Unicode" fonts. What that really means. Is it due to Open Type Font or something else?

Applications which I mentioned changes keyboard layout globally and then you have to select the fonts supplied with them to type in any other application (e.g. MS Word, Photoshop etc.). I don't know if there is any legal issue or not.
When I started the project my initial approach was to build my desired layouts with Microsoft Keyboard Layout creator and registered those dlls at the time of installation and give the users a choice to choose their own layout through my application. But I revert to the idea as in this method user will have to use Unicode fonts and those are not supported in some applications like Adobe Photoshop.

I planned to include features in my application as follows:
1. User can select keyboard layouts supplied by me through my application
2. User can then use that layout to type in any text editor(MS word, Adobe Pagemaker etce.) or other applications (e.g. Adobe Photoshop)

I obviously follow your suggestions.

Yes, I can understand your view. And may be I am wrong also. But we do have that kind of commercial applications that comes with some specific fonts and user can change the keyboard layout with them. Those software has no other use other than changing the keyboard layout. They don't even have any text editor with them. And those fonts are completely useless without those applications.
I am a newbie in VB programing and don't have much experience with the code.
But that kind of applications are very much popular in our region and I try to make my own to gather some knowledge on it.

If you want I may pm you one. I just try to understand the coding and the logic behind that kind of application.
It will be very helpful for me if you give me some idea on how can do the coding of such application.

This is a valid keyboard definition file and we use it very often to type in our language and fonts.
Windows doesn't support all of our regional languages and fonts. And all those supported languages are in Unicode by default in windows. But some application like Adobe Photoshop doesn't support Unicode, so we use some of the application that can change the keyboard layout for some particular fonts of our language.
So my aim is to build an application by which user can change keyboard layout of his choice for some particular fonts. We have some commercial software like Swarno Type Manager or Anu Script Manager or Shrilipi that use that kind of keyboard definition file.

The main source code in Vala and when it compiled for windows (MinGW) the performance and looks is not very good enough. I may try to re-program it in VB.NET, but the project contains a large number of files and so I want to know if any kind of conversion tool or process exist or not.

I have tried both dock to full and Anchor to Top,Right,Bottom,Left. But with no success.
