Localize node texts in treeview using resource files
- by Obalix
For a project I need a tree view that allows the user to select a module, which then is displayed in a content area. The project relies heavily on localization and this is provided by the resource files.
Now I discovered today, that the text that are assigned to preset tree view nodes are not contained in the resource files.
So the question is whether there is a way of doing this, short of mapping the elemenst in code. I.e. assigning a name to the node, running over all nodes and pulling the resources from the resouce manager based on the node name.
This is what I am currently doing, however, it just doesn't "feel" right:
private void TranslateNodes(TreeNodeCollection treeNodeCollection) {
var rm = Resources.ResourceManager;
foreach (TreeNode node in treeNodeCollection) {
node.Text = rm.GetString(node.Name + "_Text");
this.TranslateNodes(node.Nodes);
}
}
Thanks!
