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 |
); |
LOCALE_SYSTEM_DEFAULT |
Default system locale. |
LOCALE_USER_DEFAULT |
Default user locale. |
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.
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 |
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.
