Localization beside of text/string

Hi,
How could I localize my UI element such as icon, picture, edit mask, enum description, font, anything required beside of string?

Thank you

Ivan's post is right on the money, you can also localize enums with the EnumDisplayValue attribute:

[codesnippet]Public Enum MyEnum As Integer
   <MicroFour.StrataFrame.UI.EnumDisplayValue("MyLocalizationKey",True)> _
   None = 0
   <MicroFour.StrataFrame.UI.EnumDisplayValue("MyLocalizationKey1",True)> _
   Apple = 1
   <MicroFour.StrataFrame.UI.EnumDisplayValue("MyLocalizationKey2",True)> _
   Orange = 2
End Enum[/codesnippet]

Hi Chan.

I'm not sure what you mean by localizing icon, picture, ... but as for an enum description, have a look at this post: http://forum.strataframe.net/FindPost2712.aspx

You create the attributes and pass your Localization Key and True as your parameters.

For the others, I guess you can always check on your localization key and set the apropriate properties to their text or message contents, something like:

Me.MyControl.Text = RetrieveTextValue("My Localization Key")

Hope it helps. ;)
