Internationaliz e the MessageBox in Compact Framework

50 New Member
Hello,

I have a question regarding internationaliz ation. We are working on an application that is going to be used in different countries. Already we have internationaliz ed every string that can be internationaliz ed (text on buttons, labels etc). The problem is MessageBoxes also need to be internationaliz ed. For instance Yes and No. I know this depends on the regional settings in your OS. But I need this to be set on user level and not OS level.

I wanted to set the CultureInfo when the user selects another language at the start, like the following line.:

Thread.CurrentT hread.CurrentCu lture = New CultureInfo("fr-FR", False)

The problem is that this is not possible with CF. How can I internationaliz e the buttons of the MessageBox? Do I need to create a new kind of MessageBox?


Kind regards,

Hi,

Personally I would probably override the existing messagebox class if you can and then try and update the enumerator for the buttons... that might be an option

Feel free to post any code you think might be helpful to anyone in the same situation in the future.

Reap what you sow and all that....

I am using the evaluation version of CE.NET 4.1. I had also installed the release version of the Compact Framework. I uninstalled the CE.NET 4.1, and then realized I needed it again and reinstalled it. I also installed all the QFEs. When I tried to reinstall the release Compact Framework, I get a message that it is already installed and the installation aborted.

Hi, I have Visual Studio 2002 Enterprise Architecture Edition. I was wondering if anyone has any information on how I can develop applications for .Net Compact Framework using this IDE. I've heard Visual Studio 2003 ships with the functionality for .Net Compact Framework development. But right now I have Visual Studio 2002. Is there anything I can do? (Other than the obvious upgrade to 2003). I've heard some beta version of .Net Compact...

Is it possible to mix code meant for the CompactFramework and code meant for the standard framework? We are trying to make PDA and light-weight "laptop" versions of one application. This means a lot of functionality is identical (or at least similar). As the compact framework is a subset (correct?) of the full framework, we had the idea of building the base functionality as "compact" projects. Thse projects could then be used (or...

I'm a newbie. So please be patient. I'm working on a C# app in compact framework for a PDA. It connects to a device and extracts and updates data. I need to double check with the user before I continue with the update. I would normally use a MessageBox with an OkCancelButton. However, the compact framework doesn't support but one overload: MessageBox(string). I need to send confirmation (bool) back to the form and act accordingly with the...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
