SetConsoleCP
The SetConsoleCP function sets the input code page used by the console associated with the
calling process. A console uses its input code page to translate keyboard input
into the corresponding character value.
BOOL SetConsoleCP(
UINT wCodePageID
| // code page to set
| );
|
|
Parameters
wCodePageID
Specifies the identifier of the code page to set. The identifiers of the code
pages available on the local computer are stored in the registry under the
following key.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Nls\CodePage
Return Values
If the function succeeds, the return value is nonzero.
If the function fails, the return value is zero. To get extended error
information, call GetLastError.
Remarks
A code page maps 256 character codes to individual characters. Different code
pages include different special characters, typically customized for a language
or a group of languages.
To determine a console's current input code page, use the GetConsoleCP function. To set and retrieve a console's output code page, use the SetConsoleOutputCP and GetConsoleOutputCP functions.
