How to detect the language of MS Excel from C#
- by Babba
If i try to use Excel from C# (interop) i receive error (HRESULT: 0x80028018) when current thread language is different from Excel language: so i need to set thread language, they must be the same.
Which is the best method to understand the language of Excel/Office?
1) registry (HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Common\LanguageResources\UILanguage ? How understand wich version (12.0/14.0/...?)
2) with Application like suggested here (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2804556/how-to-detect-the-language-of-ms-excel) ? It's ok but i need a strong reference to a specific version Microsoft.Office.Core and so i can't do it for different versione of Office:
Excel.Application application = new Excel.Application();
int iUi = application.LanguageSettings.get_LanguageID(Microsoft.Office.Core.MsoAppLanguageID.msoLanguageIDUI);
MessageBox.Show(iUi.ToString());
3) other?
