LanguageSelect Server Control
The LanguageSelect server control displays a language selection dropdown list on an Ektron CMS400.NET Web page.
This control lets a site visitor select a language in which to view the site. Here is what the control looks like when published on a Web page.
It lists all languages selected on the Settings > Configuration > Language settings screen. (For more information, see Working with Multi-Language Content.)
You can place this control in any location of any page on your site. On the sample site, it appears in the lower left corner of the home page.
LanguageSelect Server Control vs. LanguageAPI Server Control
The LanguageSelect server control lets users view your site in the language they choose. The LanguageAPI server control, on the other hand, forces users to view a site in a particular language. For information on LanguageAPI, see LanguageAPI Server Control.
LanguageSelect Server Control Properties
The following table explains the properties of the LanguageSelect control.
Note: The following table only lists Ektron-specific properties. It does not describe native .NET properties such as font, height, width and border style. For documentation of these properties, see Visual Studio help.
