Some of the keyboard status information can be changed using KbdSetStatus.

In KBDINFO, the upper byte of fsInterim is the NLS shift state. The meaning of the NLS shift varies by language. The following bits are defined to access this data:

NLSS_NLS1    (0x01) - Full-width, National layer
NLSS_NLS2    (0x02) - Katakana, JAMO phonetic
NLSS_NLS3    (0x04) - Hiragana, Hangeul, TsangJye
NLSS_APPL    (0x10) - Application bit
NLSS_NLS4    (0x40) - Romanji, HanjaCsr
NLSS_KANJI   (0x80) - Kanji, Hanji
