C# Localizing KetticPageView Control

KetticPageView WinForms control supports localization and allows the users to customize the PageView component within their applications to display text and messages in a specific language. The localization of KetticPageView can be easily accomplished by using the localization C# classes which are defined in the Kettic.WinForms.UI.Localize namespace. This C# tutorial will illustrate the approach to localize the KetticPageView control and is not a translation of the control.

How to Localize KetticPageView in C# code

All the C# classes used to localize the KetticPageView control are included in the Kettic.WinForms.UI.Localize namespace. We can follow the steps below to localize the control to a specific language

Create a descendant of the KetticPageViewLocalizeProvider C# class.
Override the GetLocalizedString(string id) method
Offer a translation for the label and user messages. When there is no translation offered, the control will return the default value
Call the GetLocalizedString method in the default clause of the switch statement to guarantee the behavior

C# code for Implementing Custom Localization Provider

The C# code sample below demonstrates how to implement a custom localization provider to return translations of the default values in French,


public class MyFrenchKetticPageViewLocalizeProvider : KetticPageViewLocalizeProvider
{
    public override string GetLocalizedString(string id)
    {
        switch (id)
        {
            case KetticPageViewStringId.CloseButtonTooltip:
                return "Close Selected Page";
            case KetticPageViewStringId.ItemListButtonTooltip:
                return "Pages Available";
            case KetticPageViewStringId.LeftScrollButtonTooltip:
                return "Scroll Strip Left";
            case KetticPageViewStringId.RightScrollButtonTooltip:
                return "Scroll Strip Right";
            case KetticPageViewStringId.DisplayMoreButtonsItemCaption:
                return "Display More Buttons";
            case KetticPageViewStringId.DisplayFewerButtonsItemCaption:
                return "Display Fewer Buttons";
            case KetticPageViewStringId.AddRemoveButtonsItemCaption:
                return "Add or Remove Buttons";
            case KetticPageViewStringId.ItemCloseButtonTooltip:
                return "Close Page";
            case KetticPageViewStringId.NewItemTooltipText:
                return "Add New Page";
        }

        return base.GetLocalizedString(id);
    }
}

C# code for Applying Custom Localization Provider
