Localizer Class

Represents an object providing a means to localize editor interface elements.

Namespace: DevExpress.XtraEditors.Controls

Assembly: DevExpress.XtraEditors.v18.1.dll

Declaration

C#

public class Localizer :
    XtraLocalizer<StringId>

VB.NET

Public Class Localizer
    Inherits XtraLocalizer(Of StringId)

Remarks

The XtraEditors library allows you to localize the captions, dialogs and menus used for runtime editors customization. This gives you the ability to provide a completely native language interface to your end-users. XtraEditors runtime interface localization can be performed via the Localizer object. To localize the editor interface, you must first create a Localizer descendant. Then, override the Localizer.GetLocalizedString method to provide custom captions to interface elements. Finally, after the proper Localizer descendant has been created, assign it to the Localizer.Active property so that it takes effect.

Refer to the Localization topic for detailed information on how editors can be localized.
