GetLocaleInfo
The GetLocaleInfo function retrieves information about a locale.
int GetLocaleInfo(
LCID Locale,
| // locale identifier
| LCTYPE LCType,
| // type of information
| LPTSTR lpLCData,
| // address of buffer for information
| int cchData
| // size of buffer
| );
|
|
Parameters
Locale
Specifies the locale to retrieve information for. This parameter can be a
locale identifier created by the MAKELCID macro, or one of the following predefined values:
LOCALE_SYSTEM_DEFAULT
| Default system locale.
| LOCALE_USER_DEFAULT
| Default user locale.
|
LCType
Specifies one of the LCTYPE constants to indicate the type of information to be retrieved.
All LCTYPE values are mutually exclusive, with the exception of LOCALE_NOUSEROVERRIDE. An application may use the binary-OR operator to combine LOCALE_NOUSEROVERRIDE with any other LCTYPE value. If passed such an LCType value, the function bypasses user overrides, and returns the system default
value for the requested LCID.
lpLCData
Points to a buffer to receive the requested data.
cchData
Specifies the size, in bytes (ANSI version) or characters (Unicode version),
of the lpLCData buffer. If cchData is zero, the function returns the number of bytes or characters required to
hold the information, and the buffer pointed to by lpLCData is not used.
Return Values
If the function succeeds, the return value is the number of bytes (ANSI
version) or characters (Unicode version) written to the destination buffer, or if the cchData parameter is zero, the number of bytes or characters required to hold the
locale information.
If the function fails, the return value is zero. To get extended error
information, call GetLastError. GetLastError may return one of the following error codes:
ERROR_INSUFFICIENT_BUFFER
| ERROR_INVALID_FLAGS
| ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER
|
Remarks
The GetLocaleInfo function always retrieves information in text format. If the information is a
numeric value, the function converts the number to text using decimal notation.

Nostalgia .Net |
|
.Net is powerful, but not all-powerful, so sometimes we need to use Win32 API for our .Net applications. It's simple enough with Platform Invoke if you have Win32 skill, but we do not always have time to dig the ancient documentation, declare the special types that are compatible with Win32, find the values of the Win32's constants and so on. Nostalgia .Net offers several simple-to-use classes, and components that will allow you to forget about the headache of Win32 and just use the power of Win32 in your application the same way as you use the native. Net classes. More » |
