If not, why not?

Will calling these functions cause the &quot;OK&quot; and &quot;CANCEL&quot; captions on the MessageBox function to automatically show in the set language? Are these functions mainly for Windows UI captions to display in the language set on the thread?</p> <p>Your guidance is appreciated.</p> <p>Thanks,</p> <p>Ranjit</p><div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=9931776" width="1" height="1">
