How to change windows regional settings?

[gcaramia]

Is it possible to change the windows regional settings permanently from inside D7 program?

Thanks

Permanently... Maybe it's possible, but are you sure you want to do that.

isn't it enough to change it by session. Then you can use the built in global variables like "Thousandseparator" and more

with 'permanently' i mean to change settings in windows, the same as we can do from control panel/regional settings.

what i'm looking for is how to change ThousandSeparators and DecimalSeparator.

I found how to change time format:

var
Locale : LongInt;
begin
Locale := GetUserDefaultLCID(); 
SetLocaleInfo(Locale, LOCALE_STIMEFORMAT, 'HH:mm:ss');
SendMessage(HWND_BROADCAST,WM_WININICHANGE,0,0);

now, for numbers?

Solved (from Delphi-Help):

var
Locale : LongInt;
begin
Locale := GetUserDefaultLCID();
SetLocaleInfo(Locale, LOCALE_SThousand, '''');
SetLocaleInfo(Locale, LOCALE_SDecimal, '.');
SendMessage(HWND_BROADCAST,WM_WININICHANGE,0,0);

This for everyone who needs
