This message is sent by an application to set the current locale of the combo box. If the combo box has the CBS_SORT style and strings are added using CB_ADDSTRING, the locale of a combo box affects how list items are sorted.

Syntax

CB_SETLOCALE 
  wParam = (WPARAM) (WORD) wLocaleID;
  lParam = 0;

Parameters

  • wLocaleID
    Specifies the locale identifier for the combo box to use for sorting when adding text.
  • lParam
    Not used.

Return Value

The return value is the previous locale identifier. If wParam specifies a locale not installed on the system, the return value is CB_ERR and the current combo box locale is not changed.

Remarks

Use the MAKELCID macro to construct a locale identifier and the MAKELANGID macro to construct a language identifier. The language identifier is made up of a primary language identifier and a sublanguage identifier.

Requirements
