Translating Clarion7 Addins
Posted on Monday, June 1st, 2009
A quick follow up to my previous article on creating a Clarion7 addin this is an example of how to provide translations of your own addins (based on the example provided I think by Lee and Charles on the newsgroups, thanks!).
The magic line to add to your addin file is this:
<StringResources file="Resources\StringResources.resources">Then for each language you intend to support you create a new resource file with the correct name e.g. StringResources.nl.resources for dutch.
In the download you will find the C# project files as well as the addin itself. Also included is a BitmapResources.resources file containing all the Silk icons from famfamfam which I thought were pretty neat to use as menu icons
