parm-query

Specifies a request for the current value of a setting.

Any supported name attribute listed above.

Remarks

To change regional settings on the device, you can write a provisioning XML file that you customize for the Locale configuration service provider. However, the Locale configuration service provider supports only a subset of elements and its own attribute values for the characteristic and parm elements.

For more information about elements, see Provisioning XML Document.

Example

The following example configures all of the regional settings for the device, such as calendar options, measurements, date, time, currency, and numerical displays.

For readability, the following code example does not contain security checking or error handling. Do not use the following code in a production environment.
