CharLowerWrapW function

  • Article

[CharLowerWrapW is available for use in Windows XP. It may not be available in subsequent versions. You should use CharLowerW in its place.]

Converts a Unicode character string or a single character to lowercase. If the operand is a character string, the function converts the characters in place.

Note

CharLowerWrapW is a wrapper for the CharLowerW function. See the CharLower page for further usage notes.

 

Syntax

LPWSTR CharLowerWrapW(
  _Inout_ LPWSTR pch
);

Parameters

pch [in, out]

Type: LPWSTR

A pointer to a null-terminated Unicode string or a single character. If the high-order word of this parameter is zero, the low-order word must contain only a single character to be converted.

Return value

Type: LPWSTR

If pch is a character string, the function returns a pointer to the converted string. Since the string is converted in place, the return value is equal to pch.

If pch is a single character, the return value is a 32-bit value whose high-order word is zero, and low-order word contains the converted character.

There is no indication of success or failure. Failure is rare. There is no extended error information for this function; do not call GetLastError.

Remarks

The preferred method is to use CharLowerW in conjunction with the Microsoft Layer for Unicode (MSLU).

CharLowerWrapW must be called directly from Shlwapi.dll, using ordinal 38.
