Example
The following example demonstrates how to call the MsoGetUILcid function if Mso.dll is installed in the C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Office12\ folder.
#include "stdafx.h"
#include "windows.h"
typedef LCID (__stdcall *PfnMsoGetUILcid) (void);
int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
LCID lcid = 0;
PfnMsoGetUILcid pfnMsoGetUILcid = NULL;
HMODULE hModule = LoadLibraryW(L"C:\\Program Files\\Common Files\\microsoft shared\\OFFICE12\\mso.dll");
if (hModule)
{
pfnMsoGetUILcid = (PfnMsoGetUILcid) GetProcAddress(hModule, "_MsoGetUILcid@0");
if (pfnMsoGetUILcid)
{
lcid = pfnMsoGetUILcid();
printf("_MsoGetUILcid@0 returned %d \r\n", lcid);
}
// This ordinal value is correct only for the 2007 Microsoft Office system.
pfnMsoGetUILcid = (PfnMsoGetUILcid) GetProcAddress(hModule, (LPCSTR)1378);
if (pfnMsoGetUILcid)
{
lcid = pfnMsoGetUILcid();
printf("Ordinal function 1378 returned %d \r\n", lcid);
}
}
return 0;
}
