Localized "Yes/No" strings
in [Win32 Kernel]
|
From: Corinna Vinschen on 21 Jan 2010 13:53 Hi, I've searched MSDN and the Win32 API a lot, but I can't figure out if this information is available somewhere. What I'm searching are locale-specific strings with the meaning "Yes" or "No". There's a lot of locale-specific information available via GetLocelInfo(Ex), but apparently not this. Is there an API which returns this sort of localized strings? Thanks in advance, Corinna -- Corinna Vinschen Cygwin Project Co-Leader Red Hat
From: Pavel A. on 21 Jan 2010 14:15 Look in string table resources of user32.dll. "&Yes" is id=805, "&No" is id=806 (on XP SP3, x86) --pa "Corinna Vinschen" <corinna(a)community.nospam> wrote in message news:hja7rp$1h8$1(a)perth.hirmke.de... > Hi, > > I've searched MSDN and the Win32 API a lot, but I can't figure out > if this information is available somewhere.

That's what I'm looking for. Or does this only allow to fetch the Yes/No strings for the installed UI languages? Corinna -- Corinna Vinschen Cygwin Project Co-Leader Red Hat

The plain one-language system has only one variant of these string resources (can be seen if you open the DLL in Visual Studio resource editor) -- pa

What Pavel recomended might work, but is not documented and not recomended. Might change in one year, or tomorrow. -- Mihai Nita [Microsoft MVP, Visual C++] http://www.mihai-nita.net ------------------------------------------ Replace _year_ with _ to get the real email
