Turning Off Localization for Specific Controls

There are two mains ways you can turn off localization for specific controls.

Setting IsLocalizable

The MM .NET mmBaseWindow contains a boolean attached property called IsLocalizable. If you set this to false for a particular control, it won't be localized.

Overriding IsElementLocalizable()

The WPF mmUIHelper class has a method called IsElementLocalizable() that is used at runtime and in the WPF Localization Setup Window to determine if a UI element should be localized. If there is a certain type of UI control you don't want localized you can override this method, check for the specific control, and if found, return false. To do this:

1. Create a subclass of mmUIHelper

2. Override the IsElementLocalizable() method and add your custom code

3. In your WPF application's Factory class, override the CreateUIHelper() factory method and add code that instantiates your custom UI Helper class. For example:

   public override mmUIHelper CreateUIHelper()
   {
      return MyUIHelper();
   }
