GetProfString (SOLVED)

[Bayron]

Hi all,

How can I get Windows Default Language using GetProfString???

Apparently the way of getting this setting is missing from testini2.prg since FWH2.4, causing it to crash...

Byron,
In some places, (like in Brazil) even in the FW 2.4 testini2.prg runs with error.
to fix it, place the line:
cMsg := csLanguage
after the line:
/* Which language is Windows set to USE ? */
Regards,
Euclides

2 API-functions :

DLL32 FUNCTION GetUsDeLaI( );
AS _INT PASCAL;
FROM "GetUserDefaultLangID" LIB "KERNEL32"

DLL32 FUNCTION GetUsDeLCI( );
AS LONG PASCAL;
FROM "GetUserDefaultLCID" LIB "KERNEL32"

My Test :

The problem I had was, that csLanguage was returning ESG, wich is Spanish for Guatemala, so I changed

Code: Select all  Expand view

CASE csLanguage == "ESP" ; cMsg :="Castilian Spanish [esp]"
 

for

Code: Select all  Expand view

CASE csLanguage = "ES" ; cMsg :="Spanish"
 

and now everything is fine and dandy...
