IWMStreamConfig3::SetLanguage method (wmsdkidl.h)

[The feature associated with this page, Windows Media Format 11 SDK, is a legacy feature. It has been superseded by Source Reader and Sink Writer. Source Reader and Sink Writer have been optimized for Windows 10 and Windows 11. Microsoft strongly recommends that new code use Source Reader and Sink Writer instead of Windows Media Format 11 SDK, when possible. Microsoft suggests that existing code that uses the legacy APIs be rewritten to use the new APIs if possible.]

The SetLanguage method sets the language for a stream using an RFC1766-compliant string.

Syntax

HRESULT SetLanguage(
  [in] LPCWSTR_WMSDK_TYPE_SAFE pwszLanguageString
);

Parameters

[in] pwszLanguageString

Pointer to a wide-character null-terminated string containing the language string.

Return value

If the method succeeds, it returns S_OK. If it fails, it returns an HRESULT error code.

Remarks

The string passed to this method must be an RFC1766-compliant string. Use of other strings will cause problems when streaming a file made with this profile. For a list of commonly used language strings, see Language Strings.

The new value will not take effect in the profile until you call IWMProfile::ReconfigStream.
