I would look into
MAKELANGID,MAKELCID, and SetThreadLocale
I am not sure if this alone will do it for you but there is a call GetThreadLocale which you could switch on.
Also, I recently wrote an MFC based global app that switches on thread locale to determine what dialog to display (i.e. Japanese, Spanish or English). This is where I read about thread locales.
Here is one option.
CString formatDate(int month, int day, int year)
{
UINT tLoc = GetThreadLocale();
CString ret;
switch(tLoc)
{
case ENGLISH_US:
ret.Format("%d/%d/%d",month,day,year);
break;
case JAPAN:
ret.Format("%d.%d.%d",year,month,day);
break;
}
return ret;
}
I dont know if the japan format is correct but it is just an example.
