| I am evaluating StrataFrame and making some experiences with the tutorial and help.
Concerning the concept of localizing I have the following question:
How to translate the text, tooltip etc. of the MaintenanceFormToolStrip with the message editor?
Is there a alternate way, to achieve this?
Many Thanks

| | If there is not a Localization Key property on the control, you can pogrammatically set the text to a localized value by retrieving it through the MicroFour.StrataFrame.UI.Localization.RetrieveTextValue(Key) method. So, in the load of the form you can set the property like this: private void Form_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
this.MaintenanceFormToolstrip1.Item(0).Text = Localization.RetrieveTextValue("NewText");
this.MaintenanceFormToolstrip1.Item(0).ToolTip =
Localization.RetrieveTextValue("NewToolTip");
} You can also subclass any control and code the localization into that.

| | We have some developers create a sealed class that has a method that accepts and sets the items on a Maintenance Form Toolstrip. This way you do not have to "re-invent the wheel" every time need to localize the bar. Below is an example class definition. Public NotInheritable Class AppBasics ''' <summary>
''' Seals the class
''' </summary>
''' <remarks></remarks>
Private Sub New() End Sub ''' <summary>
''' Sets the maintenance form toolbar buttons localization items
''' </summary>
''' <param name="MyBar"></param>
''' <remarks></remarks>
Public Shared Sub SetToolstripTextValues(ByVal MyBar As MicroFour.StrataFrame.UI.Windows.Forms.MaintenanceFormToolStrip)
MyBar.Items(0).Text = MicroFour.StrataFrame.UI.Localization.RetrieveTextValue("MyNewToolbarKey") ' Set the remaining bar items End SubEnd Class |
