Localization in Windows Forms Tab Splitter Container

4 Feb 20258 minutes to read

Localization is the process of making application multilingual by formatting the content according to the cultures. TabSplitterContainer control can be localized in any Languages, based on application requirement by following below steps.

Step 1: Need to initialize the LocalizationProvider class, inherited from the ILocalizationProvider interface, before the InitializeComponent call in the constructor of an application.

Step 2: It will add the GetLocalizedString function in the LocalizationProvider class. It is needed to provide the Localization content, for the required components used in TabSplitterContainer control.

For example:
Here, TabSplitterContainer control is localized in German Language.

C#

//Call the Localizer

private TabSplitterContainer tabSplitterContainer1 = new Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Tools.TabSplitterContainer();
private TabSplitterPage tabSplitterPage1 = new TabSplitterPage();
private TabSplitterPage tabSplitterPage2 = new TabSplitterPage();

this.tabSplitterPage1.Text = "XAML";
this.tabSplitterPage2.Text = "Design";

this.tabSplitterPage1.BackColor = System.Drawing.SystemColors.ControlLightLight;
this.tabSplitterPage2.BackColor = System.Drawing.SystemColors.ControlLightLight;
  
this.tabSplitterContainer1.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(92, 70);
this.tabSplitterContainer1.Name = "tabSplitterContainer2";
this.tabSplitterContainer1.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(1189, 35);
this.tabSplitterContainer1.SplitterBackColor = System.Drawing.SystemColors.Control;
this.tabSplitterContainer1.SplitterPosition = 10;
this.tabSplitterContainer1.PrimaryPages.AddRange(new TabSplitterPage[] { tabSplitterPage1 });
this.tabSplitterContainer1.SecondaryPages.AddRange(new TabSplitterPage[] { tabSplitterPage2 });

LocalizationProvider.Provider = new Localizer();

this.Controls.Add(tabSplitterContainer1);
