Text IDs feature

[ladin79]

Hi,
I am using the new version of iX (iX 2.1).
I noticed that there is an interesting new feature "Text IDs" on multiple languages section, my question is:
it is possible to assign texts through script?

Example:

TextBox1.Text = Globals.Multiplelanguages.TextID(7);

or something like that?

Thanks!

There is a way to set an object's text to a text ID via script. To do this you need 3 things: the ID of the text you want, its default value, and the following code.

Code: Select all

public string GetTextID(uint textId, string defaultValue)
{
	Neo.ApplicationFramework.Tools.MultiLanguage.MultiLanguageResourceManager resources = new Neo.ApplicationFramework.Tools.MultiLanguage.MultiLanguageResourceManager(typeof(Neo.ApplicationFramework.Controls.Controls.Form));
	return resources.GetText(textId, defaultValue);
}

Just in case you were interested, you can also get text from library groups:

Code: Select all

public string GetTextFromLibrary(Neo.ApplicationFramework.Tools.MessageLibrary.MessageGroup libraryGroup, int value)
{
	for (int i = 0; i < libraryGroup.Messages.Count; i++)
	{
		if ((libraryGroup.Messages[i].StartValue <= value) && (libraryGroup.Messages[i].EndValue >= value))
		{
			return libraryGroup.Messages[i].Message;
		}
	}
	return "";
}

For example, to get text from Group1 you could then use the following function:

Code: Select all

public string GetTextFromGroup1(int value)
{
	return GetTextFromLibrary(Globals.TextLibrary.Group1, value);
}

Just to note, if you change the display's language you will need to call the above function again to update the text to the new language.
