Send Feedback

This message is sent by an application to set the current locale of the combo box. If the combo box has the CBS_SORT style and strings are added using CB_ADDSTRING, the locale of a combo box affects how list items are sorted.

Parameters

  • wLocaleID
    Specifies the locale identifier for the combo box to use for sorting when adding text.
  • lParam
    Not used.

Return Values

The return value is the previous locale identifier. If wParam specifies a locale not installed on the system, the return value is CB_ERR and the current combo box locale is not changed.
