Textbox input with several languages
Postby Kirvesmies »
Hi
I would like to have a textbox that pops up a multi-language input like the one on PARA > description. What code will it need?
I would use this on my refdef panels. Also where are texts like this stored, are they in a message catalog? Will they show in Translator exp/imp dictionary?
You can access to any screen used in WinCC OA (including para) and so extract this button.
Those texts are stored into the dpIdentification file and are DPE relevant. They are not in catalog and neither will appear in translator. But you can see them with an ASCII export.
Hi
I was fishing for a working example of the code needed for a function like the one for DP description, since the code in that specific panel is quite complex. I would also need to get the text to appear in translation exp/import.
To open the editor to define multi language textes you can use the CTRL function langEditor().
For details please have a look at the WinCC OA documentation.
Where the information shall be saved then you have to define in your code.
