Hi, I want to change windows language in the code.How can I do that if that is possible? I wrote this code but I don't know if it should cahnge the language:
WORD lang = MAKELANGID(LANG\_ENGLISH,SUBLANG\_NEUTRAL); DWORD LANGUAGE = MAKELCID(lang,SORT\_DEFAULT); ConvertDefaultLocale(LANGUAGE);Thanks, ibrahim

Then why did you write it, if you didn't know what this would do...

You didn't try to bother about gathering the information on how to achieve this.
iayd wrote:
ConvertDefaultLocale(LANGUAGE);
The ConvertDefaultLocale function converts a default locale value to an actual locale identifier.
Somethings seem HARD to do, until we know how to do them. ;-)_AnShUmAn_

Do you have any helpful answer?
You can go to my profile and see the usefulness of the posts. not many, but you will find places where my answers helped. I could have helped you only if I understood your problem correctly. Don't you think that with the information you provide it would be difficult to get the answer? The usefulness of the answer comes into picture, it is directly proportional to the complexity and explanation of the problem in your query.

If i am not mistaken i am reading your question for 4th or 5th time you have some problem with showing something in Arabic language rite. if some one here had an answer you would have got it in 1st post or 2nd surely. I am not sure if it will help you but, There are some good localization articles here on CP, I dont know whether you have seen them. Here are few of them. http://www.codeproject.com/KB/locale/MultiLangSupportMFCExtDLL.aspx[^] http://www.codeproject.com/KB/locale/multilingual.aspx[^] I hope it helps. and while posting please frame your query properly also with the background about what have you done so far it will help you in getting proper answer. All the best :)

Yes I wrote similar questions but I coudn't get an answer.I am suprising to this because I asked several hard questions according to me to this forum and I got good answers until now.so I thought that the experts on visual c++ didn't see my question.But maybe I should try some other ways. Thanks

Not sure what you mean by "change windows language". Do you want to change the system locale, user locale, input locale, thread locale or UI language? Basically, you can programatically change only the thread locale, and for that you need to call
SetThreadLocalefunction. The thread locale determines things like formatting of dates and currency for the thread. -

Did you ever stop to think for a moment that those "hard" questions were: 1) not hard at all, or 2) posted at just the right time as to be seen by the majority? Posts go unanswered for many reasons.

Have you tried

I tried that.But it doesn't change the language.I want that when I achieve to change the language, I would be able to write in arabic to an editbox after I changed the language from english to arabic.I can do that manually by changing the language of windows by tabbing to alt + shift. Thanks

How about ActivateKeyboardLayout()[^] function?
