Get system locate

[RepCad]

Hi all guys, 

Is there a way to get current system locate via autolisp? I need to read that from visual lisp.

thanks in advanced.

Check the registry keys & descendents under:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\International

That's not what I suggested, and you haven't escaped the backslashes.

 

Open regedit, browse to the location indicated, and examine the set of subkeys to understand which you require.

Thanks for spent time for my post, but i need to read this with autolisp functions, not manual

That is not what @Lee Mac meant. You need to use regedit to find the name of the correct Key/Val pair. In my case this was "sCountry"

 

Then

(vl-registry-read "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Control Panel\\International" "sCountry")

Gave me United Kingdom

Sorry lee mac, now I understand what you mean, but I couldn't find the key of system locate in "International" andو "sCountry" isn't what I need.

Perhaps (getvar "Locale")? If what you are wanting is the Language, then The AutoCAD setting would be the same would it not?

 

In my system it is:

(vl-registry-read "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Control Panel\\International\\User Profile" "Languages")

EDIT or this?

(vl-registry-read "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Control Panel\\International\\" "LocaleName")

Be careful but you can use regedit and search to find the answer. Mine returned Australia.

Thank you BIGAL, this code really helped me :

 

(vl-registry-read "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Control Panel\\International\\" "LocaleName")

Yes returns true key value, "LocaleName" = en-au v's "sCountry" = Australia
