Information
-
Text Constants are multilingual texts (I-texts). One and the same text constant can be used by both the customizing and the source.
Details
-
Constants can be created by the system customizer. They are assigned their ID number automatically. The ID number consists of the license number plus a three-character counter.
-
Example of text constants: File names for the construction of OLE objects in legend data areas.
-
-
Some constants are hard-coded text constants that must not be changed. E.g.
-
day names
-
month names
-
yes, no (for dialog messages)
-
Create text constants
-
Insert → Constant from the context menu.
-
Enter the name of the text constant in the Constant field.
-
The ID of the constant is automatically generated as soon as you click outside the Constant field.
-
Furthermore, the entry of the dialog message, which can then be used in the Python code, is generated in the Python code field.
-
-
Save.
Note
-
Changes to standard text constants are not update secure.
