Windows C++ Locale Function

BOOL SetUserGeoID(GEOID GeoID);

Internationalization (I18n) Function Overview

The SetUserGeoID function sets the geographical location of the user. If successful, the function returns TRUE; otherwise it returns FALSE.

Call EnumSystemGeoID to enumerate the GeoIDs available on the system and GetGeoInfo to get information about a specific geographic location.

I18n Issues

In an internationalized application that uses geographical locations, ensure that the geographical location is variable rather than hardcoded.

Note that SetUserGeoID is supported only on Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, and Windows Me. See GEOID for more information.

Recommended Replacements*

There are no variations of the function call.

*If you're already using the recommended function, see I18n Issues for other reasons why Globalyzer is detecting the function.
