I have a winforms C# application with German and default languages, only 2. I currently select the language dropdown and then find (default) to edit the default. To select the german form I select the language dropdown, and hit G G G G G G G to get to german or scroll down that long list to german and hit enter. Occasionally i go too far and select German-Austria, frustrating.
Is there a quick way to switch between localizable language forms in winforms rather then going to the properties window and selecting it in the language dropdown after they are formed? A shortcut key or anything?

I have been researching this for weeks now, and have not been able to locate what should be a simple solution to a simple problem. I have an Adobe Pro XI form with a ComboBox that has a very large list -- over 500 -- for the user to select from. Currently, the ComboBox only responds to the first letter typed, so that if the name the user is looking for begins "Lor...", when the "L" is pressed it will scroll to the top of the "L's", but then when the "o" is pressed, it scrolls to the top of the "o's", and so-on. Is there an easy solution to script this so that it will scroll through the list as the user types? Optimally, I'd like to be able to use a Document level script that I can then activate On Focus from the Actions tab of the ComboBox Properties dialog. I have found some solutions to this problem for other applications, but have not been able to find something that works for Adobe Acrobat Pro. Note that I am not a programmer, I am the company accountant and am trying to fix a form. Thanks for any help.
Combo boxes become rather cumbersome when they have a high number of entries (in older References, it was suggested to not go beyond 50 or so entries).
It does require a little bit more programming, but using a popup in this situation, together with a field in which the result will be written, is more efficient and ergonomic, because popups can be multilevel, which means, you could group everything between A and D in one level, everything between E and H, and so on.
Have a look at app.popupMenuEx() in the Acrobat JavaScript documentation.
FWIW, with a little bit more scripting, such multilevel popups can be created dynamically on the fly; personal experience shows that to build up such a popup with no more than 35 selections at the farthest level, and a total of 1500 or so selections takes less than a second.
I am building a GUI program that allows users to choose between a few software profiles for them to get written to their USB drive. I have chosen GTK+ 3.0 in C, and my supervisor is aware of my chosen method, so I am not changing it.
What I am trying to do is really quite simple but I'm still having trouble finding a comprehensive answer.
I want to be able to allow the user to select a (text) entry in the combo box and have the corresponding description show up in the frame/textview. The description in the textview should change properly to be the description for that combo box entry (the one selected).
My UI is mostly contained within a Glade file. Currently, the UI is functional but changing between combo box entries does nothing to the textview.
EDIT: I removed the posting of my code because it's too long and maybe it was throwing people off. Apologies. I can post things at request. Thanks.
I am new in silverlight ,I have more than two textbox in a UI, what i want to do is there will be a textbox with a label secondary name,on that text box when user type anything it should come in arabic language!
I mean when users focused on a textbox control the default language need to change to arabic.
I have seen same questions in this stackoverklow,but the answer i saw was saying how to do resource switching of languages of labels,buttons etc. but my question is how can i change the language when i type in a textbox control,Hope u get my point.
Thank you in advance.
You can do this through an API call if you're trying to put the translated text into the label. This link shows example code on how to use the Bing Translation API in Silverlight.
I am using the AutoCompleteMode property of SuggestAppend on my Winforms ComboBox. It is working fine, but the user has asked if there is a way to slow down the autocomplete when typing into the combobox.
For example, if you have 2 items in the combobox: red and dark blue
When you select the combobox and start typing r e d without pausing at all it works fine. But if you pause for even a second, say r e pause for a second then type d, it will highlight dark blue.
I would like to just slow it down a little bit. Some of my users are not very computer savvy so they need a little more time to type.
If I am not clear enough please let me know and I will think of another way to explain it.
Thanks in advance!
I want to plug in a Spanish or German keyboard and I would like the textbox in my WPF application to recognize the German or Spanish characters.
This can be achieved by changing locale of the system through regional settings and picking up a Spanish or a German keyboard as IME. But I need to change the locale of the system programmatically rather than manually.
Just a shot in the dark, but there's a Language Property for TextBox.
<TextBox Language="{Binding}">
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.frameworkelement.language.aspx
So you could bind that Property to a locale attribute in your code.
You can use following statement for changing the keyboard language programatically
InputLanguageManager.SetInputLanguage(this, new CultureInfo("en-US"));
(Or)
InputLanguageManager.SetInputLanguage(this, CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture("en-US"));
Here you can use any language code instead of en-US
