Get the display language of the OS windows 7

[Ben_Arts]

How can i read the display language of the OS windows 7 with LabVIEW version 2010?

This is set in the control panel of windows 7 , Region and language, formats. Example English (United States)

Kind Regards, Ben Arts

I kinda threw this together using MSDN and Windows API just to help you out.

Note I did not bother to rigoriously test it but it should be accurate.

Any problems let me know and I will see what I can do to help

I set the region and language in Dutch but that doesn't work. This also gives back English.

I found some information about in this forum: ...Current Language... at date 02-17-2010

Take a note, that LabVIEW is non-Unicode, therefore you may get langugae ID, which was set for non-Unicode applications (check advanced settings in control panel) 

I can't find the "adavanced settings in control panel". How must i do that?

Kind regards, Ben Arts

I'd read out the registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Nls\Language\InstallLanguage

Hello Yamaeda,

That's not what i ask but maybee it's a way to do it.

How can you read that registry key in labview2010?

Hello Ben,

Do you want to retrieve the "Default Input Language" or the currently selected "Input Language"?

Based on the replies that's not really clear for me.
