TRzSelectFolderDialog (4.3.2) and localization

[GoEk]

Hi,
it seems the TRzSelectFolderDialog is not localizable, buttons are english language regardless of OS language. By design? If so, any plans of changing this?

Generally, what is the level of localization support and policies for the Raize Components suite?

Hi Goran,

The shell controls (as well as all other controls) do not automatically pick up the language used by the operating system. However, with respect to the Shell Controls there are translated resource strings that are available for the various strings used by the shell dialogs. The RzShellConsts.pas file has the details. Basically, you set an appropriate conditional define and then recompile the code. This will result in the resource strings being updated to the desired language.

For all other controls in the library that display some text, there are properties available that allow you to customize that text into your desired language. For example, the TRzDialogButtons composite control has properties to change the captions of the OK, Cancel, and Help buttons that are displayed by the control.

Hi Ray,

Is this the same for 5.5 ?

I'd like to be able to change language 'on-the-fly'.

TIA

Yes, this the same for 5.5. The resource strings control the default strings being used. However, each form that is displayed from a Shell Dialog component is accessible via a Form property. This allows you to get access to the various controls and their caption properties on the form.
