read text ID via script?

I'm wondering if there is any way to retrieve a string (in the current language) defined under Multiple Languages/ Text IDs via script?
I saw in another topic that the following line compiles (and I tried it myself too):
Code: Select all
Globals.MultipleLanguages.SetLanguage("Default");
So we have access to the MultipleLanguages object but since there is no autocomplete and I can't find any documentation I'm stuck

I've never extracted text from screens, but to extract text from Text Library you could use something like
Code: Select all
using Neo.ApplicationFramework.Tools.MessageLibrary;
public string GetTextFromLibrary(int Value)
{
for (int i = 0; i < Globals.TextLibrary.Group1.Messages.Count; i++)
{
if ((Globals.TextLibrary.Group1.Messages[i].StartValue <= Value) &&
(Globals.TextLibrary.Group1.Messages[i].EndValue >= Value))
{
return Globals.TextLibrary.Group1.Messages[i].Message;
}
}
return "";
}

After some digging, I found you can extract text from Text ID using the following
Code: Select all
Neo.ApplicationFramework.Tools.MultiLanguage.MultiLanguageResourceManager resources = new Neo.ApplicationFramework.Tools.MultiLanguage.MultiLanguageResourceManager(typeof(Screen1));
button.Text = resources.GetText(ID, "default");
where
Screen1 is the name of the screen
ID is a uint of the desired textID
"default" is the default text to return if ID not found
button.Text is where to put the result
you can obtain specific text to controls on screen by replacing ID with, for example, "Screen1.button.Text". This example would get the text associated with button on Screen1.
