MultiByteToWideChar, is CP_ACP the same as GetACP()?

[PEK]

I'm a bit confused about the first parameter in MultiBytToWideChar. It
is telling which code-page to use. You could use the value CP_ACP
("ANSI Code page"), but what does it mean? Is it the value returned by
GetACP() or is it code-page 1252?

What I want to know is that if you the same result if you call:

MultiByteToWideChat(CP_ACP, ...)

as when you call:

MultiByteToWideChat(GetACP(), ..)

GetACP will answer the question "what is the code page value of the default
ANSI system code page.

CP_ACP instructs the API to use the default ANSI system code page for the
conversion.

The two will provide identical results in the actual conversion.

Short and clear, exactly what I wanted to know. Thank you.
