"Run As" dialog has non-translatable caption

[Flint]

When I select a cm_OpenAsUser command, TC opens a dialog "Run as", and the caption of this dialog cannot be translated via LNG file. Christian, can you please, fix it in the next version?

[majkinetor]

I doubt it is a TC failure since it calls system dialog. It's like calling Open or Save dialogs, it can't be translated in ordinary way.

If you hate running on foreign language you can aways create script that will change captions for you.

It's not a system dialog. At least, it does not seem to be it, 'cause I have a Russian Windows version.

I don't hate it, I just like programs to be in one language. If it is Russian, it should be Russian. If it's English, it should be English. But not mixed. (Of course, with some exceptions like UTF, FTP, NTFS and other abbreviations.)

well, you can never heave that complitely in programs that use plugins like TC. So.. be it on English.
I know U Russians stick to Russian language but it is time to forget differences and use english language for computer related things. Or you will always heave half of your Win in Russian and 10 applications running on English, some of them in Chinese, especialy if you took them from fixdown.com...

I don't care which lanaguage is it, I just care to be only one...

Enough with OT. It is system dialog, but of course, the one can crate exactly the same dialog. U can connect your TC with system dialog which is on russion, I think it resides in rundll32 but I am not sure, and U can easily find it on net. Or just use Win + R

We are waiting for the entry point impatiently

I don't know.. I thought I saw it somewhere, but like I said I am not sure.

U can use this vbs file:

Dim objShell
Set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
objShell.FileRun

This is another dialog, isn't it?
In addition this one is fully localized on my German XP

[majkinetor]

this is systems dialog

I don't know what you define to be a system but Explorer is essential part of the system (IE also). Furthermore I don't know without further analyses from where comes this box but I guess it is Explorers dialog since vbs doesn't work @ my system when I kill exploer.exe


What are you trying to do Lefti. I don't understand you. Are you joking with me ?

Here are three screenshots (all made on a German XP machine):

1) The "Win+R" dialog from Windows start menu:

This is also the one which is shown when invoking your VB code.

2) The system "run as" dialog:

3) TC's run as dialog:

Do you still think this is a dialog exported by a Windows system library? I guess Ghisler just calls CreateProcessWithLogonW or something like that (or runas.exe) when the user pressed OK on his own dialog.

[majkinetor]

I never seen that 3th dialog and that was making misunderstanding.

btw... I guess it can be easily seen via disasembler, but I don' t use any of them curently. Or even easyer, Ghisler can tell us . Wow ! What great solution with minimal effort on every side.

The thread starter was referring to the command cm_OpenAsUser. If you would have called the command you would have seen the 3rd dialog much earlier...

[petermad]

If you check the uncompressed totalcmd.exe in a hex-viewer you will find the words "Run as" hardcoded at offset 001baf70

Indeed it's not a system dialog. I probably added this in a minor version where I couldn't contact the translators...
