GetLocaleInfo using LOCALE_ICOUNTRY

For example:

invoke GetLocaleInfo,LOCALE_USER_DEFAULT,LOCALE_ICOUNTRY,offset lccode,16

Note that the code is output as a string (Max 6 characters). Since I live in Canada I get country code 2 (CTRY_CANADA). The country codes are defined as follows in WinNLS.h

No Probs RHL,

If you'd like the country as a string (eg "Canada") you can use:

invoke GetLocaleInfo,LOCALE_USER_DEFAULT,LOCALE_SCOUNTRY ,offset CntryString,80

The maximum length of the string is 80 characters. LOCALE_SCOUNTRY is listed as deprecated in Windows 7 however I have tested it and it works fine in Win7.

Yes, both 32 and 64 bit versions.
