cxGetResourceString(TcxResourceStringID) Method

Retrives a resource string value for the specified resource identifier.

Declaration

function cxGetResourceString(AResString: TcxResourceStringID): string;

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
AResString	TcxResourceStringID	The source resource string identifier.

Returns

Type	Description
string	The resource string value.

Remarks

The cxGetResourceString function retrieves a resource string for the resource identifier passed as the ResString parameter.

String constants for DevExpress products are stored as resources. DevExpress controls call the cxGetResourceString function to retrieve strings for each UI element with a caption or label.

For the purpose of localization, you can change the resource strings depending on the language and the regional settings. To do so, call the cxSetResourceString procedure passing a resource identifier and the new value of the resource string as parameters. This procedure substitutes the value of the resource string during execution only.

Code Example

The following code example specifies a new value for the cxSDatePopupClear resource string in the German language:

Delphi

cxSetResourceString(@cxSDatePopupClear, 'Löschen');

C++

cxSetResourceString(&_cxSDatePopupClear, "Löschen");

Note

To easily localize applications that use standard, DevExpress or other third-party controls to any language supported by Windows, use the TcxLocalizer component.
