Hi Jerry,

The File text comes from a string resource called UIApplicationButtonLabelText. You can view our documentation on string resources and/or use the String Resource Browser to customize that text at application startup.

Hi,
We internationalize our UI at run time (they can change the language on the fly). Your documentation on string resources says that the resource must be updated before the UI classes are referenced. Is there any way to update this label at run time?

Sorry for my bad English,I cannot understand what you mean ,I also cannot find out how to set UIApplicationButtonLabelText .Could you give me some sample codes?

Not like Dev WPF Ribbon control which just can change it easily with ApplicationButtonText property,but I think that your WPF controls are better than dev's,when I finish my demo application,I will think about buying your Studio.

Hi Jerry,

In the current and past builds, you can execute this line of code before the UI is loaded to change the application button text:
ActiproSoftware.Products.Ribbon.SR.SetCustomString(ActiproSoftware.Products.Ribbon.SRName.UIApplicationButtonLabelText.ToString(), "Test");
Making this label updatable dynamically at run-time (like we allow with image source now) is something we've had on our TODO list. We added a new Ribbon.ApplicationButtonLabel property for the next build and updated the Application Button Content QuickStart to show it off.
