Aaron, OK, changing no to 414, and en-us to 409, gives the following.
The list now gets populated with Norwegian and English United States. Arrowing to one of them, and then clicking the Continue button, gives me an error.
It now tells me, there is a wrong Procedure call or Argument. And which line is it in? The
ClientInformation.UILanguage = ChooseUILanguage.Show line, in my code as I sent it to you.Hmm. First of all, we now are back to where we were before the update of Toolkit. The list gets populated, but ClientInformation cannot use the returned value from the SelectLanguage feature. And, all of this, I could perform before the update, without any modification of the X XML file. Smile.
So, first of all, Toolkit definitely should be able to handle the Language ID that UIDesign creates automatically. Anything else, would be inconsistent?
Secondly, Either the SelectLanguage should return a valid ID, no matter what it receives from the XML. Or, the ClientInformation.UILanguage should be able to accept what it gets from the SelectLanguage. Kind of surprises me, the whole thing here. Not sure, what else the SelectLanguage would be used for, but exactly what I am doing. Smile.
Anyway, thanks for your work. I do appreciate if we can have this stuff worked out.

David,What if you change those values to be hex instead of no and en-us? The toolkit probably needs to take all possible values into account.Aaron On 5/25/2012 10:13 AM, David wrote:<language id="no"> <language id="en-us"> That's it. Now, here is one more thing. Even if I delete the ChooseUILanguage.UseDecimal = True line, the thing still happens, same error pops up. Furthermore, the dialog opens, but there is no entries in the list.Yesterday, with the old GWToolkit, the very same XML did produce two entries in the dialog's list: Norwegian, and English United States.So, seems to me, something got broken here. With the UseDecimal line deleted, I am back to what I had from before, hence I'd expect it to have produced the same entries, at least in that case. But still, the dialog with the new GWToolkit is without any entries. Did you have success in testing the new version on some XMLs? I haven't tried the approach on any other app, but as I said, running the app like yesterday, still results in an empty list, which was populated yesterday. Strange.

If you set this, you'll get the language ID back instead of the name. In otherwords, if you do something like this:Set l = SharedObjects("com.gwmicro.gwtoolkit.selectlanguage").newdialogl.xmlfile = "blah.xml" print l.show() You might get something back, like "English (United States") If you set the new property to true, like this:Set l = SharedObjects("com.gwmicro.gwtoolkit.selectlanguage").newdialogl.xmlfile = "blah.xml" l.UseDecimal = True print l.show()Then you might get back something like 1033. You can then pass that value to ClientInformation.UILanguage.Aaron On 5/25/2012 8:42 AM, Stephen Clower wrote:David,The line is failing because you must pass a valid locale ID instead of the friendly string representation that is being returned by the toolkit.

I've been scrolling theScripting manual, and also the manual for the toolkit. I think I amon the right track, but really can't see how to achieve my goal.First of all, though, let me just point out, there seems to be a typoin the GWToolkit helpfile. Under SelectLanguage, it gives the following example: Set langDialog = SharedObjects("com.GWMicro.GWToolkit.MessageBox").NewDialog langDialog.XMLFile = "gwtoolkit.xml" langDialog.ShowHmm, shouldn't the "MessageBox" rather be "SelectLanguage"? At least, when I changed it to be, I can get the listbox of available languagesto show up. So, my code looks like this: Set langDialog = SharedObjects("com.GWMicro.GWToolkit.SelectLanguage").NewDialog langDialog.XMLFile = "MyApp.xml" langDialog.Show So far, things look OK. And, if I change the last line to read: Speak LangDialog.Show , it does speak out the chosen language, when I am done with the selection. I.e, it would say "English US".Good. Now only, is to use this 'result' for something. I then browsedthe Scripting manual, and found the ClientInformation.UILanguageinstruction. Thinking that I could use that one for something, I tried:ClientInformation.UILanguage = LangDialog.Show , but am met with an error on that line.So GW, or whoever, what do I do, so as to actually apply the chosenlanguage from the LangDialog.Show instruction, so that this chosen language will become the active UI language for the app? Thanks for any feedback here. Maybe I am loosing a main point, or could it be that I am totally off-track? ----- Original Message ----- From: David To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, May 24, 2012 5:43 PM Subject: User User controlled Interface Language OK, so the scenario is this:My app has an XML file. In here, there is an US English section, and a local translation. Later on, we might get more translations added on.I have currently, set the XML up with a language order - WE,os,en-us- which would be the standard of the app.What I want, is to offer the end-user a way of choosing his interface language, no matter which localized/international version of the OS or WE he is running. I do understand, I would have to somehow gather the info, as to which languages are available in the XML file. Then, I guess, drop this into a listbox, and let the user make his choice.Two questions araise:1. Exactly what would be the water-proof way of collecting info as towhich languages are available? 2. If now, the user chooses a language, is there an instruction Icould give to the app, so as to have it change the language for theinterface? Or, will I have to write a somehow lengthy routine to modify the XML file, to accomplish such user controlled language switching?
