GetLocaleInfoA

(LCID, LCType, lpLCData, cchData)
LCID LCID
LCTYPE LCType
LPSTR lpLCData
int cchData

Parameters

LCID

ID for a locale. The returned string will be represented in the default ANSI code page for this locale.

LCType

Flag that indicates the type of information to be returned by the call. See the listing of constant values in this chapter. LOCALE_NOUSEROVERRIDE | LCTYPE indicates that the desired information will always be retrieved from the locale database, even if the LCID is the current one, and the user has changed some of the values with the control panel. If this flag is not specified, values in WIN.INI take precedence over the database settings when getting values for the current system default locale.

lpLCData

Pointer to the memory where GetLocaleInfoA will return the requested data. This pointer is not referenced if cchData is 0.

cchData

Character count of the supplied lpLCData memory buffer. If cchData is 0, the return value is the number of characters required to hold the string, including the terminating NULL character. lpLCData is not referenced in this case.

Return Value

Value	Meaning
0	Failure
The number of characters copied, including the terminating NULL character	Success

Comments

GetLocaleInfoA returns one of the various pieces of information about a locale by querying the stored locale database or WIN.INI. The call also indicates how much memory is necessary to contain the desired information.

The information returned is always a null-terminated string. No integers are returned by this function ; numeric values are returned as text (see format descriptions under LCTYPE).
