SetConsoleOutputCP, SetConsoleCP

[GaPe]

Hi!

This function:

void CodePage (UINT InputCP, UINT OutputCP)
{
	BOOL Input = FALSE, Output = FALSE;



	// set codepage
	if ((Input = SetConsoleCP (InputCP)) == 0)
        {
                printf ("Input code page cannot be set to %u. Error code: %d", InputCP, GetLastError ());
        }
	if ((Output = SetConsoleOutputCP (OutputCP)) == 0)
        {
              printf ("Output code page cannot be set to %u. Error code: %d", OutputCP, GetLastError ());
        }
}

Does not work in Win98. GetLastError () function returns number 120. What is that error and why it's not working?

Thanks!

From MSDN...

>>>
Windows NT: Requires version 3.1 or later.
Windows: Unsupported.
Windows CE: Unsupported.
<<<

... you are calling an unsupported function.

Damn! Is there any way that the program will use this function only in WinNT. Is there any thing like this

#ifdef WIN_NT
// run the code page function
#else // skip it

If anyone knows, please let me know.

Thanks!

You can get the OS version with the GetVersion() or GetVersionEx() API routines.

Hey, how is your program loading with unavailable functions?

As for the error number can someone please add this to the sticky at the top of the forum:
