IsCharAlphaNumericWrapW function

  • Article

[IsCharAlphaNumericWrapW is available for use in Windows XP. It will not be available in subsequent versions. You should use IsCharAlphaNumericW in its place.]

Determines whether a character is either an alphabetical or a numeric character. This determination is based on the semantics of the language selected by the user during setup or through Control Panel.

Note

IsCharAlphaNumericWrapW is a wrapper for the IsCharAlphaNumericW function. See the IsCharAlphaNumeric page for further usage notes.

  _In_ WCHAR ch
