hello,

Call AfxOleInit before you use XML.

I have add the AfxOleInit() but the problem exists.
Should I also have a resource dll along with the xml file

HI Oleg,

Can please let me know how to create multilanguage resource for a new application. I saw the Scribble sample but was unable to duplicate the same in my sample application.

A step by step procedure for creating the multilangauge resource would be really helpfull.

Thanks
Sharath

Hi,

Instead XML you can use DLL files. Check folder ScribbleMultiLang\Translations\Source - you need create rc file for each resource and build corresponded dll. After you can load this dll with

XTPResourceManager()->SetResourceFile("PathToDll.dll");

On a related note, while checking out the ScribbleMultiLang sample project, I noticed that the AFX_IDS_IDLEMESSAGE (57345) and ID_CONTEXT_HELP (57669) strings do not use the translated versions, regardless of whether the xml or dll resource is used.
I did change the project to use the Unicode charset rather than multibyte, if that could have made an impact.
I was using VS2005 with SP1 installed when building the project.

Is this a general feature, or is it something specific to that particular sample application?

Regards,
Arne I

Hi,

AFX_IDS_IDLEMESSAGE/ID_CONTEXT_HELP are MFC strings. you need switch MFC resource handlers - AfxSetResourceHandle

Ok, but that would mean you will not be able to use the xml language files in conjunction with MFC resource strings if you want a fully localized application?
Wouldn't it be nice if CXTPResourceManagerXML and related stuff could extract MFC strings into a temporary resource dll (i.e. created in the user's temp folder when e.g. XTPResourceManager()->SetResourceManager is called) and automatically use AfxSetResourceHandle on that?
But maybe that's beyond the scope of the toolkit?

Hello,

Some resources are loaded in MFC sources and we can't replace them.

For AFX_IDS_IDLEMESSAGE you can override

void CFrameWnd::GetMessageString(UINT nID, CString& rMessage) const

(see MFC sources)

and instead AfxLoadString(nID, lpsz) use XTPResourceManager()->LoadString.

it will load string from XMl/DLL.
