String Localization, LabVIEW 7 and TestStand 3.0

I am running across an extremely frustrating problem with string localization. I am attempting to localize front panel strings in LabVIEW 7 VIs using the 'Localize Front Panel' vi included with TestStand 3.0.

While localization works on MOST of my VIs, sometimes I create a VI where only SOME of the control labels (boolean button text in this case) get localized. I have a VI with 3 buttons and 2 get locallized correctly while the third shows the resource lookup string (TS_) instead of the localized string. The resource lookup strings are all contained in appropriate .ini files under Components/User/Languages.

Interestingly, if I pass in the same resource lookup strings to the VI using the ResStr() function in TestStan
d, the strings always work. However, that method is not very practical for changing button text on a VI.

Another potential relevant piece of info is that I am localizing to the Thai character set.

Anyone got any ideas?

Hi
Can you post your VIs which has the problem and the language file which you are using.
Also which version of TestStand are you using.
