How to localize DotNetBar DatePicker?

Question

How to localize the DatePicker component of the DotNetBar to show a localized Calendar?

Even when changing the input language, it still shows the English calendar. What's the solution?

Answer 1

You just need to add handler for LocalizationKeys.LocalizeString static event.

Below is an example to localize the text for DateTimeInput control.

In your static void Main() method,

DevComponents.DotNetBar.LocalizationKeys.LocalizeString += new DotNetBarManager.LocalizeStringEventHandler(LocalizeString);

private static void LocalizeString(object sender, LocalizeEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Key == LocalizationKeys.MonthCalendarTodayButtonText)
        {
            e.LocalizedValue = Properties.Resources.MonthCalendarTodayButtonText;
        }
        if (e.Key == LocalizationKeys.MonthCalendarClearButtonText)
        {
            e.LocalizedValue = Properties.Resources.MonthCalendarClearButtonText;
        }

        e.Handled = true;
    }
