Hi Yudi,

Thank you for sharing a small code snippet.
I was doing it wrong... Anyway, it is now working as expected.

I'll keep digging more into ClientUI.

Thanks,
Dave

I use the following approach to implement localization on the UXRibbonToolTipService.

Bind TooltipContent (also applicable for TooltipHeader or TooltipFooter) to the localized resource in the xml file.

...
<RibbonButton Content="New Contact" MinimumSize="Medium" TooltipHeader="New Item"
              TooltipContent="{Binding Localization.Resource.TodayText}"
              TooltipImagePath="/Assets/Images/customers.png" KeyTipAccessText="N"
              Icon="/Assets/Images/Ribbon/Contacts/32/new_contact.png"
              LargeIcon="/Assets/Images/Ribbon/Contacts/32/new_contact.png" />
...

Modify the Tooltip parser method to handle the binding.

private static void CreateRibbonTooltip(UIElement element, XElement x, DependencyProperty property)
{
    string content = ParseAttributeToString(x.Attribute("TooltipContent"));
    if (content.StartsWith("{Binding"))
    {
        Char[] splitIndicator = { ' ' };
        string[] splits = content.Substring(1, content.Length - 2).Split(splitIndicator);
        BindingOperations.SetBinding(element, UXRibbonToolTipService.ContentProperty, new Binding(splits.ElementAt(1)));
    }
    else
    {
        if (content != null && content.Length > 0)
            UXRibbonToolTipService.SetContent(element, content);
    }
}

I have tested this solution on my local end. Please let me know your feedback whether this helps or not.

Sure,

I meant to the RibbonOverviewData.xml, same as with the sample provided.

Let me further explain, in the xml file, you can set the TooltipHeader property and so on. Like for example TooltipHeader=¨Sample¨. But, I see in the RibbonFactory that the Tooltip is implemented using the UXRibbonToolTipService.SetHeader().. How could I achieve the same Localization functionality like shown in your sample (using {Binding ...})?

Or is this implemented in a different way?

Thanks in advance!

Thank you for the prompt reply and glad to hear that the sent sample helps.

About the question: how to implement it with the UXRibbonToolTipService SetHeader(), SetContent(), and SetFooter(), could you please let us know whether this related with the Binding in the RibbonFactory or to apply ClientUI Localization over the UXRibbonToolTipService?

Thanks a lot Yudi, but you forgot to attach the sample... ;)

Edit:

I've tested it and it works! However, I'm wondering how to implement it with the UXRibbonToolTipService SetHeader(), SetContent() and SetFooter().

Sorry for the delay in sending this.

I created a simple WPF project of UXRibbon based on Intersoft ClientUI Ribbon Application project template. Within this project, I use the ClientUI Localization Manager to change the language.

Below is the quick review about the sample project.

This project is created using Intersoft ClientUI Ribbon Application project template.

A RibbonTabGroup, called “TestGroup”, is added into the RibbonOverviewData.xml file. TestGroup has four RibbonButton: English; Germany; France; and Spain. When user clicks Germany RibbonButton, the TestGroup’s Header is changed into Germany at runtime.

For more information about the ClientUI Localization Manager, please check the ClientUI Documentation under Localization Overview topic. I also added parser which handles the Binding on Header property.

Please have the sample evaluated on your end and let us know whether it helps or not.

Yudi,

Thank you! But it doesn't need to be too complete or complicated. If you can take the same sample of ClientUI Ribbon Application and add only 2-3 translations to the ApplicationMenu xml file and the code you use in RibbonFactory it will be enough.

Thanks in advance,
Dave

I’ll need more time to prepare a simple sample of WebRibbon with localization and will update this thread with any news regarding the progress of the sample.

Be right back.

Hi Yudi,

I'm actually using your suggested code, but when changing the language, the Header isn't changed as it does using xaml.
I suppose it is because of the binding.Source, I've in code as this:

binding.Source = new ClientUI_Ribbon_Application.Resources.AppResource().Resource;

The first time the app is launched it retrieves the correct localization string, but the problem is when changed at runtime.

Do you've any suggestions or code sample which could help me to achieve this?

I'll greatly appreciate it!

Thank you,
Dave

Dear Sir/Madam,

I'm experimenting with the ClientUI Ribbon Application sample and I really do like how it was handled the creation of the Ribbon using the RibbonFactory class and the xml data located in the Assets folder.

What I'm curious is, how can I for example use Binding in the Text and Header properties of the controls.

What I'm actually trying to do is to create something like this in the RibbonOverviewData.xml

<RibbonTabGroup Header="{Binding Resource.CreateNewHeader, Source={StaticResource ApplicationResource}}" ...>

And in the RibbonFactory class create the proper bindings.

In the xaml is easy as pie, but in code I'm a bit lost.

Would you mind to give me a hand with this?

Thanks in advance!

Regards,
Dave
