NAME

GetNumberFormatA (KERNEL32.@)

SYNOPSIS

INT GetNumberFormatA
(
LCID lcid,
DWORD dwFlags,
LPCSTR lpszValue,
const NUMBERFMTA* lpFormat,
LPSTR lpNumberStr,
int cchOut
)

DESCRIPTION

Format a number string for a given locale.

PARAMS

lcid [In] Locale to format for.

dwFlags [In] LOCALE_ flags from "winnls.h".

lpszValue [In] String to format.

lpFormat [In] Formatting overrides.

lpNumberStr [Out] Destination for formatted string.

cchOut [In] Size of lpNumberStr, or 0 to calculate the resulting size.

NOTES

- lpszValue can contain only '0' - '9', '-' and '.'.

- If lpFormat is non-NULL, dwFlags must be 0. In this case lpszValue will be formatted according to the format details returned by GetLocaleInfoA(3w).

- This function rounds the number string if the number of decimals exceeds the locales normal number of decimal places.

- If cchOut is 0, this function does not write to lpNumberStr.

- The Ascii version of this function fails if lcid is Unicode only.

RETURNS

Success: The number of character written to lpNumberStr, or that would have been written, if cchOut is 0.

Failure: 0. Use GetLastError(3w) to determine the cause.
