The latest documentation I'm using - which accompanied VS2005 (must update this...) says that for GetSystemDefaultLangID, "[t]he return value is the language identifier of the system locale". Which I think means it's the result of using the LANGIDFROMLCID macro on the return value of GetSystemDefaultLCID.
That value is the system default locale identifier, which can be changed by the user on the Advanced tab of Regional and Language Options (in Windows XP and Server 2003), where it is called 'Language for non-Unicode programs'. See for example http://blogs.msdn.com/michkap/archive/2005/03/25/402313.aspx for what GetSystemDefaultUILanguage is, and http://blogs.msdn.com/michkap/archive/2005/04/08/406413.aspx for what all the other 'defaults' are. And see also http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/reference/localetable.mspx for all the meanings of 'locale'.

Hmm! I wonder how that is different from GetSystemDefaultLangID and when they would return different values? -- "The Direct3D Graphics Pipeline" -- DirectX 9 draft available for download <http://www.xmission.com/~legalize/book/download/index.html> Legalize Adulthood! <http://blogs.xmission.com/legalize/> ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
