ItemsSource binded to Dictionary datatype using Resource files

[Jennifer]

There are combo boxes all over the app that are experiencing the same issue.  This combo box in particular is bound to a Dictionary which is loaded based on the current language the user has selected in their preferences of the application.  Normal text fields etc are display the correct translation from the correct resource file.  Placing a breakpoint in code shows the correct translated values in the MyTypes, however, from the UI the combo box ItemsSource are always displayed in English.

How can I get the correct translated item from the resource file to be display in the combo box?

Visual Studion 2010

public Dictionary<string, string> MyTypes
{
get { return myTypes; }
}

public void InitializeCriteria(SelectionCriteria criteria)
{
var culture = Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture.ToString();

base.InitializeStandardSelectionCriteria(criteria, culture);

// Load the Types
var mTypes = MyTypes.Select(c => new Tuple<string, string>(c.Key, c.Value));

Array.ForEach(mTypes.ToArray(), criteria.MyTypes.Add);

var defaultMyType = criteria.MyTypes.FirstOrDefault();

if (defaultMyType != null)
{
criteria.MyTypes= defaultMyType .Item1;
}
}

protected override void OnInitialize(ESEntities entities)
{
    base.OnInitialize(entities);

    LoadMyTypes(entities);
    LoadSomeOtherData(entities);
}

private void LoadMyTypes(ESEntities entities)

{

 myTypes = new Dictionary<string, string>()

 {

  { "" , Resources.Resources.NoneLabel },

  { "D", Resources.Resources.DMessage },

  { "F", Resources.Resources.FMessage},

  { "H", Resources.Resources.HMessage },

  { "I", Resources.Resources.IMessage },

  { "L", Resources.Resources.LMessage } };

}

 

<GroupBox x:Name="LGroup" Header="{x:Static Resources:Resources.OptionsL}">
           <telerik:RadComboBox x:Name="attenuationComboBox"
                 ToolTip="{x:Static Resources:Resources.OptionsDesired}" Height="23"
                 VerticalAlignment="Top"  ItemsSource="{Binding Criteria.MyTypes, Mode=OneWay,
                 NotifyOnSourceUpdated=True, NotifyOnTargetUpdated=True,UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}"
                 SelectedValue="{Binding Criteria.MyType, Mode=TwoWay}"
                 IsEnabled="{Binding SelectionOptions.CEnabled}" DisplayMemberPath="Item2" SelectedValuePath="Item1" />
</GroupBox>

Hello Jennifer,

Are you able to achieve what you need with a standard WPF ComboBox control? I am afraid that I will not be able to help much without a simple application that can be used to observe the problem. If we have such application we will try to modify it so it works the way you need it.

All the best,

So interesting. I'm kinda interested... maybe I'll re-read twilight.
