ToolTip text of HorizontalSplitter is not translated

[Rainer]

Hello,

the ToolTip text "Start dragging in order to change items' position" is not translated in german culture.

OutlookBar_style.xaml:

...
<ToolTipService.ToolTip>
    <TextBlock Text="Start dragging in order to change items' position"
           telerik:LocalizationManager.ResourceKey="OutlookBarHorizontalSplitter" />
</ToolTipService.ToolTip>
...

As workaround I tried to set the ToolTip-Text by setting the HorizontalSplitterStyle like this:

...
<UserControl.Resources>
    <Style x:Name="OutlookBarHorizontalSplitter" TargetType="Thumb">
        <Setter Property="ToolTip" Value="My localized Text"/>
    </Style>
</UserControl.Resources>

<Grid>
    <telerik:RadOutlookBar x:Name="MenuOutlookBar"
                   HorizontalSplitterStyle="{DynamicResource OutlookBarHorizontalSplitter}">
...

Unfortuately after this the whole Style of the HorizontalSplitter is lost and the Tooltip is still default.

Please let me know if there is a solution for this issue.

Regards
Rainer

Hi Rainer,

 The localized strings in the RadOutlookBar are:
"OutlookBarHorizontalSplitter"
"OutlookBarVerticalResizer"
"OutlookBarConfigureButtons"
and you can create your own custom localization as shown in the attached example (It is an SL solution but the approach could be used in WPF too). Basically, it follow this documentation article. Please let us  know if you need assistance in converting this to WPF.

Kind regards,
