Localization strings

Hi Ivan, you are right. We’ll change to protected. You can get around it by attaching the Load event and:

 this.Controls["buttonOK"].Text = "Test";

The control names are visible in the designer: buttonOK, messageText, expiredText. The {0} placeholder is replaced with the countdown.

Then you can use your form like this:

 private static void Application_SessionTimeout(object sender, System.ComponentModel.HandledEventArgs e)
 {
   e.Handled = true;

   // show the session timeout form only once.
   if (Application.OpenForms["Window1"] == null)
   {
     new Window1().Show();
   }
 }

In the same way you can build a completely custom form.

To test it, without having to wait for the timeout, use this in the chrome console:

  Wisej.Core.fireSessionTimeout();

You may have to do it twice.

Hi Ivan,

For the session timeout text, you can extend it by adding an Inherited Control > SessionTimeoutForm.

Using this, you can customize the appearance and text of the popup box and apply any resource you want to it.

The way it is setup right now is the SessionTimeoutForm has it’s own resource file (SessionTimeoutForm.resx) that it reads the values from. There is no entry in Resources.resx.

If you’d like to see all the resource names available, you can use the System.Resources.ResxReader class:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/framework/resources/working-with-resx-files-programmatically

There is an example on how to enumerate over all the resources in a file here.

I will also make a special note to update our new documentation to include important resource names and a step-by-step guide how to override the Session timeout dialog or something similar.

Please let me know if you have any more questions!

HTH,

Levie
