Switching back to CP_ACP instead of CP_THREAD_ACP

[Reuven Nisser]

Hi,
MFC conversions between Unicode and non-Unicode pages are done now using
CP_THREAD_ACP instead of CP_ACP. Is there a way to change back to CP_ACP?

I tried defining _CONVERSION_DONT_USE_THREAD_LOCALE but it does not
apply to MFC DLL. I do not want to re-compile the DLL and redistribute it.

I tried changing the pointer g_pfnGetThreadACP (atlconv.h) to point to a
routine returning CP_ACP. However, it seems my program contains a
different variable g_pfnGetThreadACP than the one MFC uses. Maybe
there's a way to link to MFC variable?

From programming point of view, is there a way to change CP_THREAD_ACP?
I mean changing the "ANSI code page for the current thread"? I checked
SetThreadLocale() and it seems to do much more than I need. In fact, too
much. I only need to change CP_THREAD_ACP and not the rest of the locale
settings.

Thanks,
Reuven Nisser

SetThreadLocale is the one. What is the "much more" than botthers you?

Hi Mihai,
Yes, you are right. I thought it changes one of the GetLocaleInfo()
returns but it does not. So actually, the function only changes
CP_THREAD_ACP.
Thanks, Reuven
