Group: Multilingual User Interface - Library: kernel32

---

Sets the process preferred UI languages for the application process.

---

Declaration:

BOOL SetProcessPreferredUILanguages(
  _In_       DWORD dwFlags,
  _In_opt_   PCZZWSTR pwszLanguagesBuffer,
  _Out_opt_  PULONG pulNumLanguages
);  

---

FoxPro declaration:

DECLARE INTEGER SetProcessPreferredUILanguages IN kernel32;
	INTEGER dwFlags,;
	STRING @pwszLanguagesBuffer,;
	INTEGER @pulNumLanguages  

---

Parameters:

dwFlags [in] Flags identifying the language format to use for the process preferred UI languages.

pwszLanguagesBuffer [in, optional] Pointer to a double null-terminated multi-string buffer that contains an ordered, null-delimited list in decreasing order of preference.

pulNumLanguages [out, optional] Pointer to the number of languages that has been set in the process language list from the input buffer, up to a maximum of five.

---

Return value:

Returns TRUE if successful or FALSE otherwise.

---

Comments:

By default, a VFP process does not have any preferred UI languages set.

MSDN: Ideally, applications will call SetProcessPreferredUILanguages as soon as possible after launching. Use of MUI_LANGUAGE_NAME is recommended over MUI_LANGUAGE_ID.
