Remarks

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.
For instance, the following code specifies a new value for the cxSDatePopupClear resource string in the German language:
