Country Iso Code


Recommended Posts

Hi,

I have a country/language problem again...

I like to grab the TwoLetterIsoCountryCode of the current computer...

I know I can grab it from the kernel32.dll - GetLocaleInfoW.

Func _WinAPI_GetLocaleInfo($LCID, $iType)
    Local $Ret = DllCall('kernel32.dll', 'int', 'GetLocaleInfoW', 'dword', $LCID, 'dword', $iType, 'wstr', '', 'int', 2048)
    If @error Or Not $Ret[0] Then Return SetError(@error + 10, @extended, '')

    Return $Ret[3]
EndFunc

Func _WinAPI_GetUserDefaultLCID()
    Local $Ret = DllCall('kernel32.dll', 'dword', 'GetUserDefaultLCID')
    If @error Then Return SetError(@error, @extended, 0)
    Return $Ret[0]
 EndFunc
 
 ConsoleWrite(_WinAPI_GetLocaleInfo(_WinAPI_GetUserDefaultLCID(),'0x59')& @LF)

This is not how I like it to go. Because, on my german PC it returns de thats fine, but on a american windows it returns en instead of us as it should.

So I think it returns the isocode for the language, not the country. (en = english) (us = united states).

I need to Iso Code from the Country, not from the language. How can I fix this?

And no, I already tried the _WinAPI_GetGeoInfo() & _WinAPI_GetUserGeoID() , same problem, so I think it can be fixed by a single DLL call? But whats the correct function to call and whats the Hex number i have to set as parameter?

What does 0x59 correspond to? Because I don't see that value anywhere.

EDIT: Found it, that value equals $LOCALE_SISO639LANGNAME so what did you expect to get from the function other than the language, when that's what you asked it for?

Use the constants, then you'll know what it is you're  passing the function. Don't use the values of the constants, use the actual variables that are set with the values. 2 weeks from now you'll look at the code and have no idea what 0x90 is supposed to do. If you had done that in the first post, you'd KNOW you're using the wrong value because the constant name tells you that it's for the language.

> I need to Iso Code from the Country,

From which country? The country in which the computer is actually? The country where the computer was purchased? The country the computer was produced? The country in where the OS was purchased?

I think you can't get what you want... ;-)
