IntlScript

The IntlScript function identifies the script system used by the Text Utilities date-formatting, time-formatting, and string-sorting routines. It also identifies the script system whose resources are returned by the Script Manager function GetIntlResource. It is either the font script--the script system corresponding to the current font of the active graphics port--or the system script.

FUNCTION IntlScript: Integer;

DESCRIPTION

The IntlScript function returns a script code. All recognized script codes and their defined constants are listed on page 6-52. IntlScript returns only explicit script
codes (\xD1 0).

If the international resources selection flag is TRUE, the script code returned is that of the system script.

If the identified script system is not enabled, the script code returned is that of the system script and the script-defaulted result flag is set to TRUE.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS

IntlScript may move memory; your application should not call this function at interrupt time.
