  The keyboard handle identifies which logical keyboard to bind to. If the physical keyboard is not bound to a logical or default keyboard, then the bind proceeds immediately. The logical keyboard, identified by the handle, receives all further key strokes from the physical keyboard. If the physical keyboard is already in use by a logical keyboard, then the thread issuing KbdGetFocus waits until the bond can be made. Waiting threads do not execute in any definable order.
