Hello,
I am trying to learn how to build a localizable windows application
and am having trouble getting alternate languages to display when if
stop hardcoding the culture settings. The line where I hard code the
CurrentUICultur e is in the form's constructor and is like:
Thread.CurrentT hread.CurrentUI Culture = new CultureInfo("pt-BR");
When this line is present, the form displays in Portuguese.
However, once I comment out this line, I always see English, and never
the other languages. I'm trying to display the Portuguese form
without hardcoding the culture setting.
I think this is related. The variable
"System.Globali zation.CultureI nfo.CurrentUICu lture" always returns the
value "en-US". I am guessing that if the value of this variable
changes, then so would the localized resourced file used in my
application.
Where in the Win2000 OS do I change this value? I was thinking it
would be under Regional Options in the Control Panel, but nothing I
change seems to affect that variable.
Thanks,
-- Ken

Ken,
Here's what the MSDN help doc says:
-------------------------------------------------
When a thread is started, its UI culture is initially determined by using
GetUserDefaultU ILanguage from the Windows API

Hi.
It would be great to be able to reverse usage/definition parts in
haskell-way with "where" keyword. Since Python 3 would miss lambda, that
would be extremly useful for creating readable sources.
Usage could be something like:
>>> res = where:
>>> def f(x):

If I use iValue.ToString("000000000000",CultureInfo::CurrentUICulture));

Hi,
I have an asp.net page that uses a component in my business tier, which in
turn uses a component in my data tier. The business and data tiers are in
separate assemblies. I set Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture and
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture in the .aspx page.
The asp.net app, business tier, and data tier each have their own resource
files.

Not to be seen - yet - at MSDN. I looked at

article showing a pair of ASCII hooters. I kid you not. A set of great big

My application allows users to switch languages at run time. I use the

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
