How to get locale and country?
Posted: Tue Feb 06, 2018 3:26 pm
Hi,
I use the GetLocale() macro from Andrew Macros to get the locale name of the system (see code below).
A brazilian user of my applications (TexMaths) has a 'pt_BR' locale, but the GetLocale() macro only returns 'pt'. So, it's not possible to distinguish between portuguese and brazilian portuguese.
Is there a way to get the complete locale name or, at least, the country name?
Any help much appreciated,
RB

Dim str as String
str = oSet.getbyname("ooLocale")
