GetLocaleInfoA
(LCID, LCType, lpLCData, cchData)
LCID LCID
LCTYPE LCType
LPSTR lpLCData
int cchData
Parameters
LCID
ID for a locale. The returned string will be represented in the default ANSI
code page for this locale.
LCType
Flag that indicates the type of information to be returned by the call. See
the listing of constant values in this chapter. LOCALE_NOUSEROVERRIDE | LCTYPE indicates that the desired information will always be retrieved from
the locale database, even if the LCID is the current one, and the user has
changed some of the values with the control panel. If this flag is not specified,
values in WIN.INI take precedence over the database settings when getting values
for the current system default locale.
lpLCData
Pointer to the memory where GetLocaleInfoA will return the requested data. This pointer is not referenced if cchData is 0.
cchData
Character count of the supplied lpLCData memory buffer. If cchData is 0, the return value is the number of characters required to hold the
string, including the terminating NULL character. lpLCData is not referenced in this case.
Return Value

Comments
GetLocaleInfoA returns one of the various pieces of information about a locale by querying
the stored locale database or WIN.INI. The call also indicates how much memory
is necessary to contain the desired information.
The information returned is always a null-terminated string. No integers are
returned by this function ; numeric values are returned as text (see format
descriptions under LCTYPE).
