System caption

[Wally]

Hi all.
Is there a way to retrieve captions of system buttons (i.e: Ok, Yes, No,
Cancel, Abort, Retry, Ignore that, for italian o.s. are Ok, Si, No, Annulla,
Esci, Riprova, Ignora)?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Wally,

You are in a strange place in my OE in this newsgroup.

However you should use in your program mostly the messageresults and than
just the English version. (As I assume you are using the English VS.net
version)

The globalization and culture setting from the users computer sets it
normaly to the right language.

I hope this helps?

.... for the messagebox, but not if you have a custom cancel or ok
button.

Can you give me a sample of that?

Create a form, place a button on it, set it as 'CancelButton'. How to
make the caption local-aware without adding ressources for all the
languages. AFAIR there was a window "template" in MFC that provided the
dialog standard buttons with local-aware captions.

If I use System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox method
buttom vbIgnore (for example) assume caption of o.s. language ("Ignore" in
english, "Ignora" in italian and so on). I need to make the same thing for
my custom buttom on a form

Hi Herfried and Wally,

Now I see what you mean, the enum to all texts in the Framework?

Something like 'SystemTexts.OKButton' or 'SystemText.CancelButton'...
