Description
Replaces GetResourceString -- load a string from VWR file
More information about VWR files can be found here Vectorworks VWR Resources.
PROCEDURE GetVWRString(
VAR outputString :STRING;
resIdentifier :STRING;
stringIdentifier :STRING);
def vs.GetVWRString(resIdentifier, stringIdentifier): return outputString
Parameters
outputString STRING result value resIdentifier STRING VWR identifier and path to vwstrings file stringIdentifier STRING key in vwstrings file
Remarks
(_c_, 2016.08.23):
GetVWRString is supported by VW 2014, but due to a bug not timely reported, you can’t use it in a subroutine to return the string value. Only directly. This is my workaround (from VW 17/2012):
{ Orso ************************************************ } { fix for GetVWRString failing on VW 2014: strings don't set! } FUNCTION D_GetVWRStr(resID, resNr: INTEGER): STRING; BEGIN GetResourceString(D_GetVWRStr, resID, resNr); { this silently fails on later versions } {$IF ver > 19} GetVWRString(D_GetVWRStr, Concat(resID), Concat(resNr)); {$ENDIF} END;
Example
vwr = 'EnergyAnalysis/Strings/FormatDef_ThermalBridge.vwstrings' formatName = vs.GetVWRString(vwr, 'FormatName' ) vs.AlrtDialog( formatName )
