);
Parameters
-
dwFlags [out]
-
Indicates the locale to use for date and time conversion. The values in the following table are used for this flag.
Value Meaning - 0
The default value. It uses the locale set by the last user or process that set the cache. - 1
Format is based on the current identity of the thread requesting these values. The current identity is based on the identity of the thread that makes the call to the OleAut32.dll. - 2
Format is forced to use the system default regional settings. The system default settings are set for a computer at reboot. In this case, the date format is not read from the registry but from the Locale.nls file for that locale.
[!Note]
Changing the default locale changes all regional settings (time, money, date formats, and so on). There is no way to modify a specific setting within the locale.
