Hi,

hello friend

  can you tell me how we can convert each and  every word of add on screen can be converted into language of sap b1.please give sample code if you have

[Nussi]

Hi,

iam using my own .dll to load data (images and text).

i can give you a code snippet - maybe its helpful for other people too.

Sample of Loading Text from .DLL Resource:

private string LoadStringDLL(string sString)

{

   string sReturn = "";

   System.Reflection.Assembly Assembly = null;

   System.Resources.ResourceManager ResManager = null;

   try

   {

       Assembly = System.Reflection.Assembly.LoadFile(System.Windows.Forms.Application.StartupPath + "\\AddOn_Data.dll");

       ResManager = new System.Resources.ResourceManager("Data.Data", Assembly);

        sReturn = ResManager.GetString(sString);

    }

    catch

    {

    }

    finally

    {

        ResManager = null;

        Assembly = null;

        GC.Collect();

     }

    return sReturn;

}

You can use this sample this way:

((SAPbouiCOM.StaticText)oForm.Items.Item(i).Specific).Caption = LoadStringDLL("FormUID_ItemUID_LanguageCode");

this is just a sample to Load the Key "FormUID_ItemUID_LanguageCode" from a .DLL with Text Resource.

iam using it in a better way with different code - i just wanted to share my experience with a small sample.

You can also load the data from the database - but using a resource file is more efficient.

have a nice day.

Hi,

the current sap business one language is stored in

oCompany.language

you can't edit the SAP .lrf - thats why i gave you the sample how to make your own resource file.
