cxGetResourceString(TcxResourceStringID) Method

Retrieves a resource string value for the specified resource identifier.

Declaration

function cxGetResourceString(AResString: TcxResourceStringID): string;

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
AResString	TcxResourceStringID	A pointer to the source resource string identifier.

Returns

Type	Description
string	The resource string value.

Remarks

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.

To localize an application, you can call the cxSetResourceString procedure to substitute resource string values at runtime.

Code Example: Localize a Resource String

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

Delphi

uses
  dxCore;  // Declares the cxSetResourceString global procedure
// ...

  cxSetResourceString(@cxSDatePopupClear, 'Löschen');

C++

#include "dxCore.hpp"  // Declares the cxSetResourceString global procedure
// ...

  cxSetResourceString(&_cxSDatePopupClear, "Löschen");

Note

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