Hello,

We have an application that runs in different languages. On startup, when 
the user of the application has chosen his language we do for example this 
for French :

System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = new 
System.Globalization.CultureInfo("fr");
System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = 
System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture("fr");

All is great, application starts in French. However, the calendar controls 
still displays the month names in the language specified for the user on the 
OS.

Anyone any ideas on how to make sure that celendar control uses the 
"application language" and not the "OS-language"?


Thanx,
Tom

Have an idea: not possible :-(

This is also the case for all kind of common controls and dialogs
(Open/Save, Print, Fonts dialogs, context menu of the standard edit
control, the buttons of MessageBox, etc.)

Mihai is correct. I'm afraid that this is how the controls were designed to 
behave, and there's no override.
