The JewcalGetJewishHolidayName function retrieves the name of the holiday which falls on a Gregorian date. If you also want to know the weekday of the holiday and if the holiday is the first or second day (if the holiday is Rosh HaShanah or has a second day in the Diaspora) use JewcalGetJewishHolidayNameEx
DWORD JewcalGetJewishHolidayName(LPJEWCALDATE lpGregorianDate,
BOOL fDiaspora,
BOOL fPostponeShushanPurim,
LPTSTR lpString, UINT cbMax,
LPTSTR lpLanguage,
LPTSTR lpNameFile);

If it is not NULL, it must point to a JEWCALDATE structure which
specifies the Gregorian date for which the Jewish holiday must be
determined. If it is NULL, the current date is used. |
|
If it is TRUE, calculation for Diaspora is used.
If it is FALSE, calculation for Israel is used. |
|
If it is TRUE and when the 15th of Adar in a non-leap year or
the 15th of Adar II in a leap year falls on a Saturday, Shushan
Purim is postponed to Sunday.
If it is FALSE, Shushan Purim is always calculated on the 15th of Adar in a non-leap year or the 15th of Adar II in a leap year. |
| Must point to a string buffer which will contain the name of the Jewish holiday after execution of this function. If no Jewish holiday falls on the given Gregorian date, an empty string is returned. |
| Must contain the size of the buffer lpString in characters. |
|
If it is not NULL, it must point to a language defined in NAMES.TXT.
If it is NULL, the entry with no language, that means without a dot, is retrieved if present (by default, not). |
|
If it is not NULL, it must point to the filename with full path of
the NAMES.TXT file.
If it is NULL, the NAMES.TXT file is assumed to have its original name and present in the same directory where JEWCAL.DLL is located. File format of NAMES.TXT |
If the function succeeds, the return value is JEWCAL_ERROR_OK.
If the function fails, the return value is other than JEWCAL_ERROR_OK. The function fails if the passed Gregorian date is invalid or the buffer is too small.
