Examples

This example is based on scenario 6 of the Application resources and localization sample. See the sample for the more complete solution.

var output;

var page = WinJS.UI.Pages.define("/html/scenario6.html", {
    ready: function (element, options) {
        output = document.getElementById('output');
        WinJS.Resources.processAll(output); // Refetch string resources
        WinJS.Resources.removeEventListener("contextchanged", refresh, false);
        WinJS.Resources.addEventListener("contextchanged", refresh, false);
    }
});
