Reginoalisation, cultures etc.

[Jack Russell]

Just starting to play around with regionalisation.

I had always assumed that things like file dialogs were handled
automatically. i.e. If I set my language to French the open file dialog
would say something other than Open and Cancel. I am over optimistic or
am I doing something wrong?

Thanks

Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = new CultureInfo("fr-FR")
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = new CultureInfo("fr-FR")

Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = new CultureInfo("fr-FR")
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = new CultureInfo("fr-FR")

This won't change the language of OpenFileDialogs.

Then you can try to download the French version of the .NET Framework from
the Microsoft Download center, or install a French OS.

I did that but it did not affect file dialogs. Picked up the right res
file for the forms though.

I was afraid that might be the answer!
