Windows Ribbon Framework: Load resource strings from different file

148 views Asked by At

I wonder if anyone knows a possibility to tell the Windows Ribbon Framework to load its resource strings from a different file (or resource handle) than the rest of the ribbon resources.

That would be important for localizing the Ribbon UI. I am aware that I can specify a different resource file at runtime dependent on the user's language, but that would mean that I need to have a copy of the ribbon markup and of all images in every localized resource DLL, although they do not change in other languages in my case. This would bloat the setup and produce extra work in keeping all those resources in sync.
