LocaleID

Returns the Locale ID of the container, as a Long. Read-only.

Syntax: object.LocaleID

object

required An object expression that evaluates to an AmbientProperties object.

The Locale ID (LCID) is a 32-bit Windows identifier that names a language and a regional formatting convention --- for example &H0409& for English (United States) or &H0407& for German (Germany). A control should use this value when formatting numbers, dates, currencies, and message text, so that its output matches the language and conventions the host application is presenting to the user.

Example

This example caches the ambient LocaleID for use when formatting numbers and dates.

Private mLocaleID As Long

Private Sub UserControl_AmbientChanged(PropertyName As String)
    Select Case PropertyName
        Case "LocaleID"
            mLocaleID = Ambient.LocaleID
    End Select
End Sub
