IWMPControls3::put_currentAudioLanguage method (wmp.h)
[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 It has been superseded by MediaPlayer.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 put_currentAudioLanguage method specifies the locale identifier (LCID) of the audio language for playback.
Syntax
HRESULT put_currentAudioLanguage(
[in] long lLangID
);
Parameters
[in] lLangID
long containing the LCID.
Return value
The method returns an HRESULT. Possible values include, but are not limited to, those in the following table.
| Return code | Description |
|---|---|
|
The method succeeded. |
Remarks
An LCID uniquely identifies a particular language dialect, called a locale.
For Windows Media-based content, properties and methods related to language selection support only a single output.
When working with DVD content, specifying an LCID will cause the first available audio track having the specified language ID to be selected.
Windows Media Player 10 Mobile: This method only accepts a long set to 0 (the language-neutral LCID), otherwise an E_INVALIDARG HRESULT is returned.
Requirements
| Requirement | Value |
|---|---|
| Minimum supported client | Windows Media Player 9 Series or later. |
| Target Platform | Windows |
| Header | wmp.h |
