    Posted: 24 January 2020 at 4:40am
I tried to localize my ribbon and tabs using as a guide an older answer from Oleg.

You can add toolkit resources to same dll - add
#include "XTToolkitPro.rc"

and can define before
#define _XTP_RESOURCE_LANGUAGE el
to include Hebrew version instead English.

and in code add
XTPResourceManager()->SetResourceHandle(hYourDllHandle)

But my application (non unicode) is partially shows greek strings. Take a look. What am I doing wrong?

Just me!

Its seems that using directly an LPCTSTR string in the AddTab method like below, it works perfectly instead of using nID from the string table.

CXTPRibbonTab* pTabHome = pRibbonBar->AddTab(_T("ΕΛΛΗΝΙΚΑ"));

I think that codejock team have to fix this.

Is it an UNICODE application?

Which encoding are you using for your .rc files? Perhaps that's the reason.
What do you get when you call CString::LoadString()? Is the content ok or not?

Ah, and don't forget to check the #pragma codepage in your rc files

My settings

inside *.rc2

#define _XTP_RESOURCE_LANGUAGE el

inside *.rc

LANGUAGE LANG_GREEK, SUBLANG_DEFAULT
#pragma code_page(1253)

CString::LoadString()
I get gibberish instead of Greeks but String Table is notated as [Greek]

What happens if you try CStringW::LoadString instead of CString::LoadString (which indeed takes CStringA::LoadString())?

Testing with 

CStringW strFormat;
strFormat.LoadString(136);

In this way it works just fine.  

But what this exactly means? That my String Table is saved as a Unicode file and Compiler can not manage this?

In Visual Studio IDE you can choose the file encoding when you call "Save as...". Just press the down  arrow of the save button and select the correct encoding according your codepage 1253.

You can use Notepad++ for example to test the current encoding of your file and you can change the encoding if it's wrong using the "Encoding" main menu item of the same editor.

Hope this helps!

...and another hint:

the correct order of statements in .rc2 file is

#define _XTP_RESOURCE_LANGUAGE el
#include "XTToolkitPro.rc"

First define the required language and the include the .rc file

I already used this order in my projects.

This project is pretty old and I am using VS2008. For *.rc files the option "Save as" is disabled, but it works with all other files.

So, I used Notepad++. I confirm that this is an ANSI file and I choose Greek 1253 as character encoding, before I save the file. Inside the *.rc file I can see without problems the Greek characters as well as inside the Visual Studio String Table. 

No matter what, everytime I open once again the file under Notepad++, it reports ANSI but character encoding is turned back to default which is Greek ISO 8859-7. 

I also changed the *.rc file to 

#ifdef _WIN32
LANGUAGE LANG_GREEK, SUBLANG_GREEK_GREECE
#pragma code_page(1253)
#endif //_WIN32

I compiled and tested the code below. No difference at all. Using CStringW it works. To be honest, I am not sure what exactly is going on here but I assume that VS2008 ignores the Greek character encoding?

CString strFormat;
strFormat.LoadString(136);

Another paradox is when I use the debug executable I can see Greek characters in CXTPTaskDialog  but when I use release executable I get gibberish instead.

The character set in the General Settings of the project are both set to "Not set". What seems to be the problem here?

[Solved]

I don't know why this works and shows correctly the Greek characters, but the CXTPTaskDialog derived dialog should be called with TRUE in the 1st parameter to force use the ComCtl32.dll version of the task dialog. Unfortunately this concerns only for Vista and newer OSs

For example

CXTPTaskDialog tDialog(this);
tDialog.DoModal(TRUE);
