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
• C++

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

  cxSetResourceString(@cxSDatePopupClear, 'Löschen');

#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.
