Platform Notes
Windows 95: Locales are static & can change only at system boot

SetThreadLocale

The SetThreadLocale function sets the calling thread's current locale.

BOOL SetThreadLocale (

LCID Locale
// locale identifier
);

Parameters

Locale

Specifies the new locale for the calling thread. 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.

For more information, see Locale Identifiers.

Return Values

If the function succeeds, the return value is nonzero.

If the function fails, the return value is zero. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.

Remarks

When a thread is created, it is given the system default thread locale. The system reads the system default thread locale from the registry when the system boots. This system default can be modified for future process and thread creation using Control Panel's International application.
