Hi,

I have an existing GUI program written in C++Builder 5.0 Professional on
Windows 2000 English version and I am in the process of translating it to
simplified Chinese using strings included in a resource file.

For testing the display of the Chinese version I change the user locale and
default system locale using Control Panel Regional Options and do a restart.

Is there any way to change the Ansi (Windows) Code page at run time for an
individual windows program without using Control Panel Regional Options and
doing a restart?  (This would simplify my testing and demonstration
processes).

I tried using setlocale() function but this didn't seem to be useful as when
I called with
setlocale (LC_CTYPE, NULL) it only returned "c".

I tried calling WIN32 function SetThreadLocale() in my WinMain function and
this seemed to change resources returned from resource file to Chinese but
not the display of the characters in Borland controls (ie still ???).
eg SetThreadLocale (MAKELCID (MAKELANGID (LANG_CHINESE,
SUBLANG_CHINESE_SIMPLIFIED), SORT_DEFAULT);

There are WIN32 functions to change the OEM code page for console applns
(eg SetConsoleOutputCP()) but is there an equivalent for changing the ANSI
code page for a windows application at run time?

Best Regards
Tom
