LocProxy-&-EnumComboBox.md

Beginning with v2.1.3 the extension also features an Enum value localization technique. To achieve this one has to employ the new LocProxy class. Just pass the particular enum value to the Source property and check the right setting of the PrependType flag. If this is used, you may also specify a Separator that will be used between the type suffix and the value itself leading to key entries like this "MyEnum_MyValue" using underscore as the separator. This allows us to create unique localization keys for different enum types and their values. To get the localized value, just bind your text element to the Result property of the LocProxy:

<lex:LocProxy Source="{Binding}" x:Name="Proxy" PrependType="True" />
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Result, ElementName=Proxy}" Margin="2" FontWeight="Normal" />

In general, this proxy class triggers the ToString function of the object that is bound to the Source property. It is therefore also applicable to all other kinds of objects where you need value localization.

To enhance this feature, also an EnumComboBox class was introduced with v2.1.3. Just feed your enum type to the Type property of this class and it does the rest for you, provided, that you correctly style the entries, e.g. using the XAML code snippet from above. You may also hide particular enum values using the BrowsableAttribute. A complete example is included in the AssemblyTest example located in the source code of the library.
