The GetNumberFormat API function formats a string. This example lets you set the locale ID to LOCALE_SYSTEM_DEFAULT, LOCALE_USER_DEFAULT, or 0. If you set it to 0, the program lets you specify the number of digits after the decimal separator, whether to use a leading zero if the number has no whole part, the number of digits per grouping, the thousands and decimal separators, and the method for handling negative numbers (e.g. -1 versus (1) versus 1-).
GetNumberFormat places the formatted result in a buffer and returns the length of the buffer.
