Re: CFileDialog not in OS language.

I don't think in practical situations, people will want to see this Open

this behavior is fine.

I'm not sure I agree. If I do not have the resources to translate my
applications (I don't) I would rather the application were all in
English. One thing I always do with Property Sheets (because it is easy)
is run through the buttons and set all the button captions to English.
Otherwise you have the Property Pages using a different language from
the containing sheet, which looks tacky, IMHO.
But this is not so easy with CFileDialog.
Now that Vista apparently contains all the languages (why wasn't it
always like this?) you would think it would not be too hard to introduce
an API so that each application could control the language of its
Windows dialogs if it chose to, independent of other applications. Or a
job for MFC, perhaps.
