CB_SETLOCALE
An
application sends a CB_SETLOCALE message to set the current locale of the combo
box. If the combo box has the CBS_SORT style and strings are added using CB_ADDSTRING, the locale of a combo box
affects how list items are sorted.
CB_SETLOCALE
wParam = (WPARAM) (WORD) wLocaleID; // locale
identifier
lParam = 0; // not used; must be
zero
Parameters
wLocaleID
Value of wParam.
Specifies the locale identifier for the combo box to use for sorting when
adding text.
Return Values
The return
value is the previous locale identifier. If wParam specifies a locale
not installed on the system, the return value is CB_ERR and the current combo
box locale is not changed.
Remarks
Use the MAKELCID
macro to construct a locale identifier and the MAKELANGID macro to
construct a language identifier. The language identifier is made up of a
primary language identifier and a sublanguage identifier.
