Returns the string for a given string identification number. This function is especially useful in multilingual applications.
Syntax
STRING(iStringNumber)
Parameters
iStringNumber | The identification number of the string |
...
Return Value
The string previously defined by ADD_STRING with the specified identification number or a string containing the text "String number n not found.".
Examples
If your signon function used the ADD_STRING() function to define multilingual strings like this based on different language codes:
ADD_STRING(1,"OK");
ADD_STRING(2,"Cancel");
ADD_STRING(3,"Customer not found");
...
Then all other scripts that needed to access a multilingual string would reference the function STRING
...
(n) in their code in a language independent way. For example this code:
for (i = 0; i <= 4; i++)
{
alert( STRING
...
(i) );...
}
Would display the strings:
String number 0 not found. OK Cancel Customer not found String number 4 not found |
...
Similarly, if your signon script had defined two strings like this:
ADD_STRING(1,"Customer number ");
ADD_STRING(2," could not be found or you are not authorized to view them.");
...
Then you could dynamically build a multilingual message in another script like this:
var strMessage = STRING(1) + CustomerNumber.toString() + STRING(2);
alert(strMessage);
