PinoezOpenDialog (Another kind of Open Dialog)

Posted by Daniel - 1,815 Views

On some occasions, when I build an application for a specific language with orland Delphi, I also need to change all button text to suit the language used, for example the button text on the OpenDialog. Creating a brand new component is an alternative, but time is something that I don’t have. Hooking the available function by overriding the text assignment in the original OpenDialog component code, proved to be faster than creating a new one, and PinoezOpenDialog is the result.

PinoezOpenDialog is not just an open dialog, but it also contains save dialog. So far I haven’t had time to provide some design interfaces, so all adjustment have to be done in the underlying code. That will be painful if you have no experience at all in the component creation, but it will be fine I guess, it won’t break or damage your heart.
