I was looking at the localization samples and had a question about it. Please look at the sample below:

<Button x:Name="ButtonSearch" Visibility="Visible" Height="20" Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="1"
                    TelerikControls:LocalizationManager.ResourceKey="ButtonSearch"
            Click="ButtonSearch_Click" Margin="344.035,33,70.965,35" ClickMode="Press" Cursor="Hand"
                     RenderTransformOrigin="0.5,0.5"
                    UseLayoutRounding="False" d:LayoutRounding="Auto" Background="#FFEBF0F3">

This works. Now, how would I localize the tooltip for the button as this form of localization seems to be looking for the "content" property?

Something I could have done like:
<TextBox x:Name="TextBoxLastNameSearch" Visibility="Visible" Height="20" Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="1"
                 Margin="143,9,242,0" ToolTipService.ToolTip="{Binding Path=StringLibrary.XamWebGridPatients_Identifier, Source={StaticResource LocalizedStrings}}"

Just trying to find a consistent way to localize all controls on the page.

Thanks.

Hi Abhi Basu,

Thank you for the sample code.

Please try the following code:

    
            <Button ...> 
        
                <ToolTipService.ToolTip> 
        
                    <ToolTip telerik:LocalizationManager.ResourceKey="MyKey"/> 
        
                </ToolTipService.ToolTip> 
        
            </Button>

We hope this information will help you.

I tried the following test and tooltip does work. Thanks.

<Button x:Name="ButtonSearch" Visibility="Visible" Height="20" Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="1"

TelerikControls:LocalizationManager.ResourceKey="ButtonSearch"

Click="ButtonSearch_Click" Margin="344.035,33,70.965,35" ClickMode="Press" Cursor="Hand"

RenderTransformOrigin="0.5,0.5"

UseLayoutRounding="False" d:LayoutRounding="Auto" Background="#FFEBF0F3">

<ToolTipService.ToolTip>

</ToolTipService.ToolTip>

<Button.RenderTransform>

</TransformGroup>

</Button.RenderTransform>

</Button>

Hello Abhi,

In general your Xaml-code looks OK. Of course you should prepare a resource file(s) or a LocalizationManager in order to complete the localization. If it is suitable you can send us the problematic project and we will investigate and correct it.

Meantime please preview the following article. Here the localization process is explained in depth and attached examples are prepared:

Localization for RadControls for Silverlight and WPF.

Below are two particular articles related to the localization:
