RadDocking.LoadLayout and localization

[Luigi]

Hi
I'm using RadDocking.LoadLayout to save and restore the positions of docked panels.
My application is localized and every string in xaml is set in this form (for instance...):

Header="{DynamicResource ResourceKey={x:Static r:ResourcesKeys.key}}"

Where r:ResourcesKey.key is an index in the language dictionary selected in the application.

When I change the localization with  an existing xml for layout, the headers of panels are read from the xml and are in the previous language.
Ho can I force to rewrite the strings in the right language (without delete the layout xml file)?

Thank you
Luigi

Hello Luigi,

You should be able to achieve your requirement with the ElementLoading event of RadDocking. This will allow you to manually set the Header to the proper localization value in code-behind.

private void RadDocking_ElementLoading(object sender, Telerik.Windows.Controls.LayoutSerializationLoadingEventArgs e) 
{ 
    var pane = e.AffectedElement as RadPane;  
    if (pane != null) 
    { 
		pane.Header = /* get the localized header */
    } 
}

Hi Martin, thank you

I implemented your proposal: it works using ElementLoaded instead of ElementLoading
