How can I disable the digit substitution (for example for Hindi numerals instead of Arabic ones) for my application (native c++) completely?

I want all the numbers displayed with 0123 instead of ????

There is an option in localization options in windows, but I don't want to change that for the user. Only for my app.

Thank you!
