Controls.getAudioLanguageID method

[The feature associated with this page, Windows Media Player SDK, is a legacy feature. It has been superseded by MediaPlayer. MediaPlayer has been optimized for Windows 10 and Windows 11. Microsoft strongly recommends that new code use MediaPlayer instead of Windows Media Player SDK, when possible. Microsoft suggests that existing code that uses the legacy APIs be rewritten to use the new APIs if possible.]

The getAudioLanguageID method retrieves the locale identifier (LCID) for a specified audio language index.

Syntax

retVal = Controls.getAudioLanguageID(
  index
)

Parameters

index [in]

Number (long) specifying the audio language index.

Return value

Remarks

An LCID uniquely identifies a particular language dialect, called a locale.

Windows Media Player 10 Mobile: This property always returns the language-neutral LCID (0).
