Hi Trevor
Tried your function out on a French Windows XP SP2 system running
RunRev 2.6 (after taking out spurious returns) and it didn't work -
it just returned "en" because your registry query put nothing into
tUserLangs. I am no expert, but it looks to me as if the Registry
entries in the French system are under Control Panel\International
\iCountry or \sCountry or \sLanguage
The value of iCountry on my system is 33 [which is the
international phone code] and of sCountry is France [which is of
course both French and English for France - presumably a German
system for example would not say 'Germany' but 'Deutschland', but I
haven't got a system to test it on) and of sLanguage is FRA. There
is also \Locale which is a Hex figure 0000040C.
I'll experiment further it you would like to suggest which
direction to take.
Thanks for a taking a look at this Graham. Let me walk through the
logic of the function to see where it might be going wrong.
Right now the function queries the "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel
\International\Locale" which returns the hex value you noted above.
This hex value is a combination of a primary and sublanguage
identifier which you can find information about here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/intl/
nls_238z.asp
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/intl/
nls_61df.asp
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/intl/
nls_19ir.asp
What my code is supposed to do is extract the primary language
identifier from the registry value which I can compare against the
documented values that Microsoft provides.
So for French (Standard) we start with the hex value 0x040c (what
your system has). In order to extract the primary language
identifier from the language identifer (0x040c) we need to do a
bitAND operation. Somewhere deep in the microsoft site it tells you
that that value to use for this operation is 0x3FF (or 1023) in
decimal form but I can't find the reference right now. Revolution
requires the decimal form when using bitAND so we end up with this:
get queryRegistry("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\International
\Locale") --> RETURNS HEX
get baseConvert(it,16,10) --> CONVERT HEX TO DECIMAL (1036 FOR FRENCH
STANDARD)
get it bitAND 1023
Using the value you gave for your system (0x040c) the value of it in
the above transcript ends up being 12 which is what I would expect it
to be for French. I wonder if maybe there was a problem when you
copied and pasted the script. I uploaded a stack to my user space on
RevOnline. Look for getUserLang under "trevordevore". There is just
one button to click and it will display the language your os is
running (for english, french, german, spanish and italian). Could
you let me know if that works on your system? The version of the
function is slightly updated in the stack so if it does work there
could have been a problem in my original function.
Thanks,
