Hi all

Have anybody used this API  NtSetDefaultLocale() in BCB 6.
I read http://www.pcreview.co.uk/forums/thread-526879.php.

Can i change the value for non-Unicode language selected for pc and restart 
it manually.
I need to give a free program in Hebrew language. But many pc do not have 
this selected.

What is the best i can do to help the users.

Regards
SA

That is a poor way to do things.
Never make system-wide changes just so your program looks right.

Have a look at SetThreadLocale()
For GUI apps, look in the help for "About National Language Support"

For consoles, the displayed font is controled by the code-page.
Look at SetConsoleOutputCP() and the help "Code-Page Identifiers".

Alternative: Supply and use a Hebrew Font.
