LB_GETLOCALE
An
application sends an LB_GETLOCALE message to retrieve the current locale of the
list box. You can use the locale to determine the correct sorting order of
displayed text (for list boxes with the LBS_SORT style) and of text added by
the LB_ADDSTRING
message.
LB_GETLOCALE
wParam = 0; // not used; must be zero
lParam = 0; // not used; must be zero
Parameters
This message
has no parameters.
Return Values
The return
value is a 32-bit value that specifies the current locale of the list box. The
high-order word contains the country code and the low-order word contains the
language identifier.
Remarks
The language
identifier consists of a sublanguage identifier and a primary language
identifier. Use the PRIMARYLANGID macro to extract the primary language
identifier from the low-order word of the return value, and the SUBLANGID macro to extract the
sublanguage identifier.
