XmStrTbl Class Reference

List of all members.

Detailed Description

Small utility class to support multilingual strings.

An instance of this class manage the resource handling of multilingual strings. Every string, which should be handled, have to be added to an XmStrTbl instance by calling SetStr() in the constructor of a derived instance. The integer id within SetStr() is used for accessing a string item within the application. The string id is used for the mapping the string item within the info files to their native representation.

The integer label and the string id should be the same. Its recommended to derive from XmStrTbl and add the string items within the constructor of the derived class.

To combine native text and application specific arguments you can use XmPlaceholderText.

bool SetStr ( const char * idStr,

int id,

const char * defaultStr = NULL
