WinWrap® Basic Scripting Component Localization

Consistent localized user interface
Component menus, dialogs, etc are available in Armenian (հայերէն), Chinese (中文), Danish (dansk), Dutch (Nederlands), English (English), Finnish (suomi), French (français), German (Deutsch), Italian (italiano), Japanese (日本語), Korean (한국어), Norwegian (norsk), Portuguese (Português), Russian (русский), Spanish (español), Swedish (svenska).

Setting Your Application's Current Culture

The BasicIdeCtl uses the thread's current culture when initializing the control's menus and text messages.

Setting the current culture from a .NET Application:

[DllImport("kernel32.dll")] static extern int SetThreadLocale(int locale); [DllImport("kernel32.dll")] static extern int SetThreadUILanguage(int langid); ... CultureInfo ci = new CultureInfo("fr-FR"); Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = ci; Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = ci; SetThreadLocale(ci.LCID); SetThreadUILanguage(ci.LCID);

Setting the current culture from a COM Application:

LCID lcid = ...; SetThreadLocale(lcid); SetThreadUILanguage(lcid);
