localization
Localization is the process of making application multilingual by formatting the content according to the cultures. WinForms Message Box control can be localized in any Languages, based on application requirement by following below steps.
Step 1: Need to initialize the LocalizationProvider class, inherited from ILocalizationProvider Interface, before the InitializeComponent call in the constructor of the application.
Step 2: It will add the GetLocalizedString function in the LocalizationProvider class. In that it is needed to provide the Localization content, for the required components used in MessageBoxAdv control.
For example,
Here, MessageBoxAdv control is localized in German Language.
C#
LocalizationProvider.Provider = new Localizer();
// localizer inherits the interface ILocationProvider
public class Localizer : ILocalizationProvider
{
#region ILocalizationProvider Members
public string GetLocalizedString(System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture, string name,object obj)
{
switch (name)
{
#region MessageBoxAdv
///<summary>
///Retry Button in German Language
///</summary>
case ResourceIdentifiers.Retry:
return "Wiederholen";
///<summary>
///Abort Button in German Language
///</summary>
case ResourceIdentifiers.Abort:
return "Abbrechen";
///<summary>
///Ignore Button in German Language
///</summary>
case ResourceIdentifiers.Ignore:
return "ignorieren";
///<summary>
/// default
///</summary>
default:
return string.Empty;
#endregion
}
}
#endregion
}
//MessageBox show
MessageBoxAdv.Show("Metro Theme Anpassung", "Das ist Syncfusion MessageBoxAdv Control", MessageBoxButtons.AbortRetryIgnore);
