System caption

[Wally]

Hi all.
I need to retrieve caption of system buttons. For example: in italian o.s.
Cancel button is "Annulla", in english o.s. it is "Cancel" and so on. I need
to install my application on different operative systems. Is there an API or
another way to retrieve those system caption?

Thanks.

You might instead want to look at the Internationalization support that's
installed in .NET so that you can support more than just button captions in
other languages.

Hi, Wally,

if you can get handle of button, you can use SendMessage Win32 API with
WM_GETTEXT. You can look up details in Platform SDK help or on MSDN.
