Hello,
We are in the process of localizing our application and would like to use the WinRes.exe tool from Microsoft to allow a 3rd party to do our translation. However, the Actipro bar controls do not render in WinRes. If I load a form that has a bar manager with just a few commands created, I get the following message:
Error - The data name 'fileOpenBarButtonCommand' is invalid. Valid data names must be of the form 'Component.Property'.
Error - The data name 'newMenuNewMenuBarPopupButtonLink' is invalid. Valid data names must be of the form 'Component.Property'.
Error - The data name 'toolsOptionsBarButtonCommand' is invalid. Valid data names must be of the form 'Component.Property'.
Error - The control ActiproSoftware.UIStudio.Bar.BarDockArea has thrown an unhandled exception in the designer and has been disabled.
Exception:
Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
I noticed that the command objects do not have an entry in the .resx file that specifies their type like the other controls do. For example, the BarManager has this entry:
<data name=">>barManager1.Type" xml:space="preserve">
<value>ActiproSoftware.UIStudio.Bar.BarManager, ActiproSoftware.UIStudio.Bar.Net20, Version=2.0.93.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=be939c973e8cb8a6</value>
</data>
which tells WinRes what type of object barManager1 is, but no such entries exist for the commands. Is there a way I can make WinRes work with the Actipro bar controls??
Thanks,
Lisa
