HOWTO: Use SetThreadLocale() for Language Resources

ID: Q99392

The information in this article applies to:

• Microsoft Win32 Software Development Kit (SDK)

SUMMARY

Under Windows NT, each resource loading application programming interface (API) is based on the thread's locale. Each thread has a locale--usually the default system locale.

You can change the thread locale by calling SetThreadLocale(). To obtain the language resource you want, just set the thread locale to the locale you want, then call the normal resource loading API.
