No. Even in Delphi, this does not work :/
Anybody else got some idea how I could solve this problem? I have
enumerated types and normally use constant arrays to show the text
string representation for a GUI or to be saved in the database.
Below is an example of how I populate a TComboBox with GUI friendly
text represeting the enumerated types.
We are in the process supporting multiple languages in our application
and need to find a way to translate the text represeting the
enumerated types.
-------------------------------
procedure TLearner_Gender_ComboBox_View.SetupGUIandObject;
var
i: TGender;
begin
EditControl.ReadOnly := True;
{ populate combo with enumerated types }
EditControl.Items.BeginUpdate;
try
EditControl.Clear;
for i := Low(TGender) to High(TGender) do
begin
EditControl.Items.Add(cGenderGUI[i]);
end;
finally
EditControl.Items.EndUpdate;
end;
end;
-------------------------------
Just for interest sake. Why doesn't translated resource strings work
in constants? Is it a compiler or language limitation or just a issue
of timing (when things get loaded)?
