Change settings of a running process
I noticed that when a process starts for the first time, it statically reads some system parameter info only once and keeps it until terminated
which means,
that if there is some modification to the system parameters already read by the process, they wouldn'y reflect until the process is restarted.
e.g. Launch Notepad and type ';' key on the keyboard. Now change the input language from the langauge toolbar to Spanish. Now again hit the key ';'. Though the Input langauge has been changed to Spanish, the keys are still English (as seen by pressing ';' key).
Ideally on pressing ';' afer the input language is changed to Spanish, we should have noticed 'ñ'.
When we restart Notepad, we notice that ';' results in 'ñ' which means that the Notepad process needed to be restarted to take effect.
Is there some way where the process is not needed to be restarted to reflect the change in the Input method?
Thanks

Re: Change settings of a running process
Good explaination of why you need this, because usually people expect us to decipher riddles.
I'm dumb. But I doubt changing a running Process' attributes are what you are actually looking for. The whole problem ( the way I see it ) is That, with the first launch of Notepad, it is loaded in a certain locale, and functions as it should within the locale it was loaded it in the first place. In order to function using Spanish as an input language, it does need to get restarted.
It is not the Process object itself that is the culprit, it is the physical program - NotePad.
