Forms localization

[Esteve Graells]

Anyone has an example on how to manage to provide a  form in different languages? As a struts  programmer I haven't seen anything similar, but I'm sure designer provides that.

could you point me to any example?

Thanks in advance

Could anybody point me to a localicalization example? or a quick
explanation on how to manage using different languages for the same
form?

Thanks in advance,

esteve.

I don't have an example, but I have seen this done in the past. The
problem becomes that each localized part of the form does not take up
the same amount of space, so a fair bit of care must be taken to
ensure that text does not run over other objects. What I have seen is
that all of the text labels are actually fields themselves. The
fields end up getting set based on a language flag that is passed in
as data and there is an initialize event for each field (that is a
label) that will set the field with the appropriate text for the
selected language based on the flag. The field is set to be readonly
so that the end user does not know it is really a field. The end
result is a form with the same layout, only the field and text on the
form ends up showing the localized text.

Thank you very much, I'll try to catch some code out there, if so, I'll paste it here.

One way you can do this is with the dynamic binding feature in
Designer. To turn this feature on, go into Tools > Options > Data
Binding > Show Dynamic Properties. Basically you can create a form
with field captions bound to values from the XML data file. You can
create data files for the different languages and when you merge the
data into the form, the form will display in the appropriate
language. I have an example that I can post.
