Re: User User controlled Interface Language

Thanks Aaron,
quick work. Yet, seems to have a bug, or I am doing something wrong. (Maybe it's me, who is the bug? Smile) 

My code looks like this:

Dim ChooseUILanguage: Set ChooseUILanguage = 
SharedObjects("com.GWMicro.GWToolkit.SelectLanguage").NewDialog

ChooseUILanguage.XMLFile = MyXMLFile
ChooseUILanguage.UseDecimal = True
ClientInformation.UILanguage = ChooseUILanguage.Show
Set myStrings = Strings( MyXMLFile )
Set ChooseUILanguage = Nothing

Running it, I get the following error:
An Error Occurred in GW Toolkit 8.4.9 (800A000D)

Description: Type mismatch: 'Utilities.ConvertLanguageIDToString'

Line: 4178 - dObj.Control("lst_languages").Add parmObj.Languages(keys(i)), 
Utilities.ConvertStringToLanguageId(Utilities.ConvertLanguageIdToString("&H" 
& keys(i)))



Path: C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data\GW 
Micro\Window-Eyes\users\default\gwtoolkit.vbs

Signed: "GW Micro, Inc."




Also, If the user click Cancel, which return value will be given, that I can 
check on the value - or in any other way - only set 
ClientInforamtion.UILanguage if there was a real choice made.


Thanks again,

Version 8.4.9 of the toolkit adds a new property to the SelectLanguage 
class called UseDecimal. If you set this, you'll get the language ID back 
instead of the name. In otherwords, if you do something like this:


Set l = SharedObjects("com.gwmicro.gwtoolkit.selectlanguage").newdialog
l.xmlfile = "blah.xml"
print l.show()

You might get something back, like "English (United States")

If you set the new property to true, like this:

Set l = SharedObjects("com.gwmicro.gwtoolkit.selectlanguage").newdialog
l.xmlfile = "blah.xml"
l.UseDecimal = True
print l.show()


Then you might get back something like 1033. You can then pass that value 
to ClientInformation.UILanguage.

David,


The line is failing because you must pass a valid locale ID instead of 
the friendly string representation that is being returned by the toolkit. 
There isn't a straight-forward way to do this on your end, but we will 
add a way to retrieve a valid locale from the dialog in an update which 
will go out shortly.

Thanks, here is my code snip:

Dim LangDialog
Set langDialog =
SharedObjects("com.GWMicro.GWToolkit.SelectLanguage").NewDialog
langDialog.XMLFile = MyXMLFile
dim ChosenLanguage: ChosenLanguage = langDialog.Show
ClientInformation.UILanguage = ChosenLanguage
Set myStrings = Strings( MyXMLFile )
Set LangDialog = Nothing

The above code, produces an error on the ClientInformation line, saying
invalid procedure call or argument.

Why, and what is it I miss here?

Thanks again,

David,

Once you have your chosen language identifier, such as "en" for
English, set your ClientInformation.UILanguage property accordingly
and reload your XML file; e.g.
ClientInformation.UILanguage = "en"
Set myStrings = Strings("MyStringFile.xml")

HTH,
Steve

OK, I really could use a bit of help here. I've been scrolling the
Scripting manual, and also the manual for the toolkit. I think I am
on the right track, but really can't see how to achieve my goal.

First of all, though, let me just point out, there seems to be a typo
in the GWToolkit helpfile. Under SelectLanguage, it gives the
following example:

Set langDialog =
SharedObjects("com.GWMicro.GWToolkit.MessageBox").NewDialog
langDialog.XMLFile = "gwtoolkit.xml"
langDialog.Show

Hmm, shouldn't the "MessageBox" rather be "SelectLanguage"? At least,
when I changed it to be, I can get the listbox of available languages
to show up. So, my code looks like this:

Set langDialog =
SharedObjects("com.GWMicro.GWToolkit.SelectLanguage").NewDialog
langDialog.XMLFile = "MyApp.xml"
langDialog.Show

So far, things look OK. And, if I change the last line to read:
Speak LangDialog.Show
, it does speak out the chosen language, when I am done with the
selection. I.e, it would say "English US".

Good. Now only, is to use this 'result' for something. I then browsed
the Scripting manual, and found the
ClientInformation.UILanguage

instruction. Thinking that I could use that one for something, I 
tried:

ClientInformation.UILanguage = LangDialog.Show
, but am met with an error on that line.

So GW, or whoever, what do I do, so as to actually apply the chosen
language from the LangDialog.Show instruction, so that this chosen
language will become the active UI language for the app?

Thanks for any feedback here. Maybe I am loosing a main point, or
could it be that I am totally off-track?

OK, so the scenario is this:


My app has an XML file. In here, there is an US English section, and

a local translation. Later on, we might get more translations added 
on.


I have currently, set the XML up with a language order - WE,os,en-us
- which would be the standard of the app.

What I want, is to offer the end-user a way of choosing his interface
language, no matter which localized/international version of the OS
or WE he is running. I do understand, I would have to somehow gather
the info, as to which languages are available in the XML file. Then,
I guess, drop this into a listbox, and let the user make his choice.

Two questions araise:
1. Exactly what would be the water-proof way of collecting info as to
which languages are available?
2. If now, the user chooses a language, is there an instruction I
could give to the app, so as to have it change the language for the
interface? Or, will I have to write a somehow lengthy routine to
modify the XML file, to accomplish such user controlled language
switching?

Thanks for your advice!
