MessageBox "Yes-No" buttons language and bitmap

[X-Files]

Hello

I'm new in Lazarus.
1. How can I change MessageBox( ..., ..., MB_YESNO) buttons caption from english (Yes, No) to my national language?
2. How can I remove bitmaps from these buttons (or how can I use my own bitmaps)?

Thx!

Code: [Select]

QuestionDlg('Title','Question?',
              mtCustom,  // removes the bitmap
             [mrYes,'YesOnYourLanguage',mrNo,'NoOnYourLanguage'],0);

The "proper" way is to use the Translations unit to translate all resources strings from lclstrconsts.pas.

See  this wiki article.

You can add the po-file in question as a Lazarus resource to your program if you want. I have some code for that.

Thx for answers.
I want to compile resource file into exe.
Bart, if you have some code for that, send me if you can.

Take a look at my autotranslation unit.

To make the resource you have to use lazres (the sources for lazres come with lazarus).

Code: [Select]

lazres resourcefilename somepofile.po

Then include the created .lrs in the autotranslation unit, instead of my dutch one, and adapt the source to make it use your po-file.

Bart - Like I said, I'm new in Lazarus, so translating is too much complicated for me. So many combinations to display "Ja" and "Nee" (example, I'm not a Dutchman) on buttons?
typo - your way is better for me. mtCustom removes nothing, is same as mtInformation. It's OK, no problem. My question is: how I can remove glyphs from buttons or how I can use my own glyphs?

For me it removes.

Maybe you better write your own messagebox form.
This gives you absolute control over buttons, icons etc.

Bart - you're right, I have to write my own messagebox.

typo - for me mtCustom is same like mtInformation.

Thank you for your answers.

Hi, is it a known bug that on Carbon it's not working? (At least for MessageBox...)

Also, if i understand right i must include in some place all lclstrconsts.%s.pas i use into my MacOS X Application Bundle? Or there is more simple way, like include inside the executable?

[Bart]

See my previous post. You can add the languagefiles as a resource to your program.
Not sure if this is a real-life solution if you want to support all languages.
Also, you cannot update languagefiles without updating the executable in this way.
