I have a VERY COMPLICATED MULTILINGUAL form with base values on it
I want to produce about 100 forms like this, BUT with their own values and
properties, so following IDE flow I make derrived form from base form
(Add->Add Inherited form), AND of couse I can not change anything on it.
Sure I can do it by overriding, but WHY if I should do
1) Multilingual - huge mess with text by manual work
2) Visual - I can not design it well by code (or I can? :) )

Please advice what to do in such case?

Hi
If the form is still going to do the same function ( just display in all
these different languages ) it would be a HUGH waste of time to create the
form again . you can just create resource files specific to each of these
languages . Use ResourceManger to load the specific strings that label the
controls for such culture. Just try to set the localizable property of the
form to true , set the UI culture and the resource files will be created to
you . for languages that are from right to left , set either the right to
left or the mirrored properties. You can read more about localizing forms
navigating from this link

You are absolutly right, I know this, I'm sure can edit it manualy, bu for
languages such as Hebrew or Arabic I have to changes as well RTL and for
most of other languages field sizes to fit longer ot shorter strings, this
why it's better to work with designer. Anywhay the question is how to make
IDE to do this....
